我想乘搭各式各樣的交通工具到處去! 「政皓在嬰孩時期就對玩具車情有獨鍾,總是眼仔碌碌地看著玩具車的輪子一直轉動!」政皓爸爸 說。他最喜歡乘搭不同的交通工具到處去。不要看他年紀小小,他已經是一個交通工具小專家了, 無論是鐵路站名稱、跑車型號還是路線都瞭如指掌! 當被問到有何願望時,政皓滿帶著稚氣又堅定地說:「我想搭很多款還沒坐過的車車啊!」「可以 乘搭新通車的南港島線嗎?山頂纜車呢?港島區的電車呢?還有越野車、開蓬跑車⋯⋯!」提到夢 想中的交通工具時,政皓的腦海中 是願望成真的興奮畫面! ‘I WANT TO TRAVEL AROUND HONG KONG IN DIFFERENT FORMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT!’ "Ching-ho has been a big fan of toy cars since he was a baby and has always been unable to take his eyes off the wheels of his favorite cars," recalls Ching-ho's dad. It doesn’t stop there; Ching-ho’s absolute favorite activity is to travel to different places by various means of transportation. It was therefore of no surprise to us, when he was asked of his wish and he beamed as he told us, 'I want to travel around Hong Kong in different forms of public transport!’ Can I go on the new South Island MTR line? The Peak Tram? An SUV or maybe a sports car?’ When it comes to the discussion of the transport of his dreams, Ching-ho is always excited.

‘I WANT TO TRAVEL AROUND HONG KONG IN DIFFERENT FORMS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT!’"Ching-ho has been a big fan of toy cars since he was a baby and has always been unable to take his eyes off the wheels of his favorite cars," recalls Ching-ho's dad. It doesn’t stop there; Ching-ho’s absolute favorite activity is to travel to different places by various means of transportation. It was therefore of no surprise to us, when he was asked of his wish and he beamed as he told us, 'I want to travel around Hong Kong in different forms of public transport!’ Can I go on the new South Island MTR line? The Peak Tram? An SUV or maybe a sports car?’ When it comes to the discussion of the transport of his dreams, Ching-ho is always excited.
Wish day finally arrived as Ching-ho also turned 5 on the same day! He looked his best as he arrived at the South Horizons Station of the South Island Line and hopped into the MTR. Taking the best spot at the front of the train, he was able to see the nice views of Hong Kong’s Southern District. He then boarded one of the oldest and most inclined transportation in Hong Kong, The Peak Tram. As this was Ching-ho’s first ride on the Peak Team, he was overjoyed.
His adventure continued once he stepped off the tram and noticed a team of Ferrari sports cars waiting in the distance. They were there to pick him up and give him a once-in-a-lifetime experience of riding in a roadster. He was so excited; he climbed into each Ferrari sports car for photos before being driven in one to his dream birthday party venue - a classy red vintage tram! The team had put together a fabulous birthday party for Ching-ho as the perfect wrap up for the day.
We have had an amazing 1.5 years being part of Ching-ho’s wish journey and would like to extend our very special thanks to our Make-A-Wish partners; MTR Corporation Limited, Peak Tramways Company Limited, Hong Kong Tramways, Ferrari Owners' Club of Hong Kong and An's production. Their support has helped us bring Ching-ho’s wish into reality and bring a lot of happiness to him and his family. An amazing wish journey not only brings happy memories, it is full of care and blessings from those that have been a part of it along the way!

AEVA'S MEMORABLE PARTY
Aeva 難忘的派對 Just like her favorite cartoon character Dora the Explorer, 4-year-old Aeva is a lovely, playful and curious girl. Her illness has caused her severe pain and difficulties in her mobility, but that does not stop her from being curious about the world. She enjoys watching Dora the Explorer at home and seeing the fun adventures that Dora has with her friends. Aeva's wish is to meet Dora the Explorer in a themed party. With the help of our generous volunteer and wish granter, Monisha, an “Aeva the Explorer” party was especially arranged for Aeva. As well as having Aeva’s favorite food prepared, we had the party room decorated with Dora the Explorer balloons, table centerpieces and posters. She was incredibly overwhelmed when she arrived at the party and saw all the Dora the Explorer decorations and more than 30 happy faces from her family and friends to celebrate this special occasion with her. Dora was also there to greet Aeva and they spent a wonderful time together cutting the themed cake, watching a magic show, singing and taking lots of photos. “Thank you and your team again for the awesome party yesterday. We all loved it, especially Aeva. God bless you all,” said Aeva’s father. We hope this experience will serve as a remarkable memory for Aeva and her family, and provide positive energy throughout her treatment journey.
For the 19th year, Make-A-Wish Hong Kong and Hongkong Land joined forces to co-organize the annual “Share the Joy of a Wish” Christmas charity campaign. Wish Child Zi-xi kick-started the launch ceremony by performing “Jingle Bells” on the piano. Dr Kevin CH Lau, Chairperson of Make-A-Wish Hong Kong acknowledged Hongkong Land for their continual support in his speech; announced a series of celebrating and fundraising events to be held in our 20th Anniversary year and encouraged the Wish Community to join hands with us to bring life-changing experiences to Wish Children with critical illnesses.
We were honored to have Mr Andy Lau, a renowned artiste, as one of the officiating guests to share his childhood wishes. Wish Children Kun-hao and Ka-mei also shared their wishes to be part of a cartoon world and to learn pastry making at Le Cordon Bleu. They then presented their paintings and handmade cookies to Andy. To end the evening, all officiating guests hung their wishing stars on the Christmas tree and wished the month-long campaign a great success.
Apart from sponsoring the Christmas charity sales counter, Hongkong Land sponsored 3 wishes, by donating all proceeds from the Wishing Machine, photo booth and charity sales of Landmark’s Christmas cards, tote bags and plush toys to Make-A-Wish Hong Kong.
TREES OF HOPEIt has been 14 consecutive years that The Peninsula Hong Kong and Make-A-Wish Hong Kong have co-organized the annual “Trees of Hope” Christmas fundraising campaign. This year, SnowPage plush toys and Christmas glass ornaments were sold as part of the charity sales, at the life-sized gingerbread house in the Peninsula Hotel. Both of these products came with tasty gingerbread cookies.
Further donations were generated through the “Teas of Hope” afternoon tea campaign and specially made cocktails as part of the “Cocktails of Hope” campaign at the lobby restaurant and hotel bar.
CHRISTMAS PARTY 2017For the 15th year in a row, The Peninsula Hong Kong has sponsored the Christmas Party organized by Make-A-Wish Hong Kong, which celebrates Christmas with more than 100 Wish Families and volunteers. A list of surprises were prepared for the guests, which begun with decorating gingerbread houses with sweets and chocolates as part of a competition. A magician then appeared for his magic show and invited Wish Children to be his performance assistants for a few eye-catching tricks. As everyone then enjoyed their festive meal, lovely Christmas songs filled the air from handbell performances by ‘Ringing Around The World’ and ‘The WEAVER’. To end, the long-awaited lucky draw and table games were presented to the guests, as Santa Claus arrived and distributed presents to each Wish Child. The party ended with everyone having a blast!
