Hong Kong socialites are as far-sighted as they are generous. See what happened when some of the most prominent people in town came to the aid last month of a philanthropist with a vision, Dominic Lam Man-kit, who has raised pots of money for World Eye Organisation, a charity he set up in 1999 in aid of poor mainlanders with eye diseases.
When Lam presented his latest collection of calligraphic items in the Lee Gardens office lobby, socialites saw the writing on the wall and threw open their purses.
Actor Simon Yam Tat-wah, actress Rosamund Kwan Chi-lam, artist Jo Jo Cao and the rest of the focused crowd mingled with philanthropist Fong Yun-wah, the charity's vice-chair Winnie Fok and Charmonde Luxury's Christie Wo. We got the picture of a happy, thoughtful event - and a sight for sore eyes over the border.
