Chinese community sponsors fundraiser for Pallotti

On Sunday night, a local audience was treated to dance, music, and vocals, courtesy of the Chinese community. “What a Beautiful Jasmine” was held at the Bliss Center for the Performing Arts, but as organisers Lilly Yang and May Chui told us, the stage presentation was more than just entertainment.

“We choose some Chinese music; you know China is a very big country so different part have very different style of music, dance. Well we choose from different part, we want to introduce more variety to Belizeans and we also want people who live in Belize can know each other.”

May Chui, Organizer, What a Beautiful Jasmine
“We do the donation for Pallotti Music School for a building for the school.”

“So can you tell us about the project, why you got involved to help them, why you saw it all necessary?”

“My daughter is a Pallotti Music School student. We have Parents Meeting so they say any parent with suggestions or ideas. I say maybe the Chinese Community can help them do the fundraising. We talked about eight months ago.”
