No matter what your photography level, and which type of camera you use, we welcome all of your photo submissions. You chose the event that you can attend, take some photos, and upload your favorite snapshots to our shared Google Drive folder. It’s that easy! We are looking for photos from the PFO Events including Pumpkin Festival, Chinese New Year Assemblies, and World’s Fair. We would also love to receive photos from all other HKIS school events (LP, UP, MS, & HS) including classroom events, sporting events, music concerts, plays and musicals, just about anything! Be creative and have fun snapping action/group/candid/posed/silly photos! You may see some of your photos on the PFO website, PFO Newsletters, or in other PFO communications. But, we can’t use your photo if you don’t upload them!

Item donations are especially needed prior to the PFO's two largest events, Pumpkin Festival (October) and World's Fair (March). If you or your company would like to make a donation, please contact us for details. These are some of the donations that have been helpful in the past:

New Toys (any size)

These are given as game prizes and Lucky Lai See winnings at both major events. They can be of any size or value - we love seeing the smiling faces when kids win a prize!

Gift Vouchers

Vouchers from local merchants/companies are highly appreciated by both the PFO and event attendees. Restaurant, spa, hotel and shopping vouchers are frequently donated.

Used Books

At both Pumpkin Festival and World's Fair, the PFO hosts a fabulous Used Book Sale. You won't want to miss this great opportunity to refresh your home library with new titles, at a great price. Collection dates are just prior to the events, any genre, for any age group is welcome. PLEASE DROP-OFF ON DESIGNATED DATES.

Other Items

Often HKIS families' companies support the PFO by donating items/products from their company. These items build great enthusiasm and excitement during an event, and help to raise funds for donation back to HKIS.
