Hyatt Regency Tianjin East, in partnership with Tencent Tianjin, Tianjin Palace Cinema and DiDi Tianjin, hosted the children of Sun Village for a special evening downtown, helping to make the children's Chinese New Year dreams come true. The hotel's General Manager Mr. Hardy Sidney gave a warm welcome to the children, wishing them a happy Chinese New Year and inviting them to enjoy a sumptuous buffet dinner at Market Cafe. Pastry Chef Steven Yuan created pastry table art for the children, while Mr. Gao Yuanyi, principal of Tianjin Yuan Chuang Art Training Center, taught the children to how to decorate "€œtai chi" cookies and paint miniature hotels for souvenirs.
In addition to dinner, the evening featured a movie and plenty of laughter. Though the time went fast, it was clear that the Sun Village children felt all the love and positive energy that was shared, perhaps taking home a little extra strength and courage to face daily life with a smile. The hotel plans to bring the children more kindness and warmth during future winter months.
Sun Village is where Ms. Wang Aili lives with and cares for 23 children, the parents of whom are prisoners. 70% of the village’s funds come from the farming of fruits and vegetables.
