ABOUT $2 million was raised for the Hong Kong Council of Early Childhood Education and Services charity at the Harmony Ball hosted by Governor Chris Patten and his wife Lavender. More than 200 guests attended the recent event at the Government House Ballroom which included a performance by singing group the Wynners. The charity works primarily on the welfare and development of children under 12 years. It provided educational programmes for 100,000 children and their parents last year.
