CHI HENG FOUNDATION: Founded in 1998, the Chi Heng Foundation is a charity registered and based in Hong Kong with offices in Henan, Anhui, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.  It is a non-government organization whose programs are funded by private donors, business, and partner NGOs.

CHF primarily focuses on paying for the children’s education and living expenses, making sure all funds are delivered directly to schools and programs by our staff. CHF does not operate orphanages or foster homes. Instead, local relatives often take in the children, allowing them to continue to grow up in their native villages. To further decrease their sense of social stigma and isolation, CHF places the children in schools that purposefully integrate the orphans with children not affected by HIV/AIDS. These efforts aim to give orphans a stronger sense of community and belonging.

FAZIOLI:  Founded in 1979 by pianist and engineer Paolo Fazioli, the ultra-fine pianos are now considered to be the pinnacle of what is being produced in the world of pianos today.  Showcase Pianos is the exclusive dealer for Fazioli pianos in the Canadian province of British Columbia.   http://showcasepianos.com
