Hong Kong Exhibition Series

After spending 8 weeks as a science and English teacher at the Parami School in Mae Sot, Thailand, Florence travels to Hong Kong to fundraise for the completion of Parami School's new campus.

Parami School is facing eviction from its old campus, pending sale of the property. There are currently no funds available for the completion of the new campus.

The Global Art Exhibit's Hong Kong Exhibition Series is for the benefit of the Parami Learning Centre. The minimum target is to raise $12,000 HKD ($1,700 USD) to finance construction of a road for the school. The desired target is to raise $40,000 HKD ($5,000 USD) to finance both a road and a girl's dormitory.

Over 250 unique art pieces are available for sale. All pieces were donated for the express purpose of this exhibition, and will not be reproduced. Student and professional artwork will be on display at the following venues:


Olio's Restaurant
