Local and overseas celebrities including Korean star, Lee An will be making special appearances at Children’s Charities Association’s (CCA) ‘Love In Any Language’ Christmas Fair 2008.

Every year since 1965, Children’s Charities Association has been organizing the Annual Christmas Fair cum Walkathon to raise funds to help the less fortunate children under the care of the six member charities. This year, this major fundraising event will be held on Saturday, 22 November 2008 at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza from 8.30am to 6pm.

Themed the ‘Love In Any Language’ Christmas Fair 2008, the event will be graced by CCA’s patron, Mrs. S R Nathan as the Guest-of-Honour. The highlight of the day features a fashion show – Fashion MINDS: Shineon! Love Recycled, specially prepared by 25 children from MINDS Lee Kong Chian Gardens School and Shineon! School on Stage. Hosted by Margaret Lee and Lin Youfa, the show features apparels donated by our local celebrities Mark Lee, multi talented artiste Jiu Jian, Kenn, a composer/actor/ singer/ writer, Yang Lina, Yang Libing and many more. With a little creativity, students of LaSalle and NAFA will then transform the apparels to beautiful kids’ wear for these young models, to make a fashion statement.
