As part of FE's continuos committment to help the less fortunates, FE is proud to launch the global "Hope For Children" Charity at FE's Achievers Recognition Dinner at PGRM on Saturday 8th August 2009 attended by 1,800 of FE's Leaders, Members, VIPs and invited guests. Children always has a special place in our hearts and as Organiser and Sponsor, FE will work tirelessly to raise funds to help improve the lives of the many needy and underprivileged children of this world. Our target is to raise at least USD 10 Million over the next 5 years for this cause.

The funds will be raised in the following ways:

- Direct donations from FE, FE Members and the public.

- USD 3 donated from the sale of every Quantum Science products.

At it's launch "Hope For Children" Charity Fund is proud to donate to the following charities :

- 6 Rotary Clubs in Malaysia, Bandar Utama, Metro KL, Shah Alam, Tebrau, Titiwangsa and Johore Centennial.( Amount to be raised Rm 300,000).

- 5 Children Homes, supported by former Miss Malaysias, Maggie Loo, Nancie Foo, Datuk Yasmin Yusuff, Samantha Shubert and Deborah Henry ( Amount to be raised Rm 100,000).

As it's policy, "Hope For Children" Charity Fund will contribute 50% of the amount to be raised. The balance 50% will be raised by the NGOs themselves. The NGOs are encouraged to collaborate with FE as social entrepreneurs to raise the balance of funds, making it a Win-Win situation for both parties.

At the Launch, "Hope For Children" is proud to present 9 year old child singing sensation Clark Gamul from the Philippines who touched the hearts of the audience with his beautiful rendition of 3 Michael Jackson's songs namely "Ben", "I Will Be There" and "We Are The World". Clark also sang the theme song "Hope For Children" written specially for the occasion. FE is so proud of you ,Clark! You are a Star !

Clark is a product of the Philippines Center For Arts Foundation, an NGO set up to train and nurture young and gifted children from poor families ( Clark's father drives a trishaw in Manila, earning USD 5 a day ) to excel in the performing arts and to provide them with a brighter future. "Hope For Children" will be working closely with the Philippines Center For Arts Foundation to raise funds to help more gifted children from poor families around the world to achieve their dreams, like Clark.

FE would like to appeal to all FE Leaders and Members to help promote and to participate generously in this worthy cause. "Hope For Children" will provide FE with greater credibility and awareness and will help propel FE to the next level of growth and recognition in the world. It will make us all proud to be part of the FE family !

Last but not least , A BIG THANK YOU to FE's Presidential Director and Philippines Country Licensee, Jeremy Looi for his personal donation of Pesos 1 Million ( Rm 80,000.00) to "Hope For Children" Charity at the Launch.
