Hongkong - April 12, 2000 - As the Internet Consultant of The Salvation Army Hong Kong Command (SAHK) since 1997, Wyith has been sponsoring many SAHK Internet-related events. In April, Wyith Incorporated is sponsoring The Salvation Army Child Sponsorship Programme again over the Internet.

"As a matter of Wyith's long-time public responsibility, it is definitely our pleasure in sponsoring the event again over the Internet." said Dr Raymond Cheng, "We sponsored SAHK with Internet resources, like Internet bandwidth, servers for live streaming Realvideo and Realaudio clips as well as web hosting, layout design and continuous updating. We find this sponsorship work very meaningful as we developed our business in the region."

The Salvation Army Hong Kong Command began its work in Mainland China in 1988. With the support from Salvationists internationally and other supporters, SAHK are dedicated to various poverty alleviation projects and emergency relief following a number of natural disasters in China. As a part of SAHK's work, the Child Sponsorship Programme provides financial assistance so that children from poor families do not lose their opportunity and right for education. SAHK cooperate with related organizations in Guangxi, Hunan and Shandong. There are plans for gradual expansion to other provinces to help children from poor families to continue their schooling.
