On December 6, Discovery Bay 10km Run for Charity race founder Kobi Janssen presented Benji’s Centre with a cheque for HK$141,714. The money raised at the event on November 9 will help fund speech-therapy sessions for local handicapped children from low-income families. Kobi’s visit was planned to coincide with that of Queen Mathilde of Belgium, who is herself a fully qualified speech therapist. For more on the charity, visit www.benjiscentre.org.hk.
