AIA Foundation has long been committed to nurturing the next generation by unleashing their potential and promoting their well-being through a wide variety of activities. To celebrate the new year, AIA Foundation in January invited two groups with a total of more than 1,000 youth and children to The AIA Carnival, an event which AIA Hong Kong has title sponsored for five consecutive years, to create joyful and unforgettable experiences together.

Ms. Bonnie Tse, General Manager, Corporate, Strategy and Wealth Management of AIA Hong Kong & Macau and Director of AIA Foundation, said, “The AIA Carnival has become an annual festive family attraction for the people of Hong Kong. We hope to spread the love and joy even further across the community. Therefore, we brought over 1,000 youth and children to The AIA Carnival with the aim of giving them a truly special festive season, making our sponsorship even more meaningful and impactful. AIA Foundation will continue its efforts to promote the well-being of our future generation, helping people to live healthier, longer, better lives.” 

On 11 January 2019, about 650 youngsters from eight charitable organisations were invited by AIA Foundation to The AIA Carnival. Another 600 children were invited on 19 January 2019, through several charitable organisations. Accompanied by AIA volunteers, the children enjoyed a special day of fun and excitement at the Carnival and the spectacular performance of the Great Circus of Europe for free.

Ms. Maylie Lee, Chief Human Resources Officer of AIA Hong Kong & Macau, said, “AIA is dedicated to creating a happy working environment for our staff, while also encouraging them to contribute to the community by participating in volunteer work. On this happy occasion, our 60 AIA volunteers accompanied 600 children to the Circus and the Carnival to spread the message of health, happiness and positive energy among these children, bringing them a wonderful day filled with joy and laughter.”
