Stars help Unicef save children

Canto-pop singers used their star power to help the Hong Kong Committee of the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) during the Genroku Charity Carnival.

Leon Lai, Leo Koo, Kelly Chen, Mark Lui and Karen Mok took part.

Organised by Genroku Sushi Company and supported by Ultimate 903 of Commercial Radio, the carnival raised funds for children suffering from tetanus, which is caused by bacteria entering the body and making the muscles stiffen.

Thirty goods booths and games stalls were set up for charity sales. In addition, Genroku Sushi issued a series of Smart Cards with mega-star Leon Lai's portrait; these raised $500,000.
