PENANG – LONDON WORLD TOUR FOR CHILDREN
31 May 2012 at Penang Town Hall
We are pleased to inform you that a small group of Penangites, whom are mostly members of the Old Frees Association, will be undertaking a magnanimous feat by driving all the way from Penang to London non-stop in 2months. And along the way, throughout their journey they have committed to help promote Penang. Penang Global Tourism is supporting their endeavor by printing banners, car stickers with Penang words and pictures as well as providing them some souvenirs, posters and brochures for distribution.
The idea of the World Tour For Children expedition was developed by Capt. Steven Foong and his wife Ms Suchin Koay after visiting Shan Children’s Home, in Penang. They then had a desire to find out more about other underprivileged children around the world and concluded that the best way to really discover this is to travel by road.
To make this expedition truly meaningful, the group’s main objective is to help raise awareness and funds for the Borneo Child Aid Society to help give them basic education and a proper chance in life.
In line with this, a press conference followed by a flag-off will be undertaken as follows:
Date: 31 May 2012, Thursday
