.For the 4th consecutive year, the French International School is organising the “Run against Hunger” on Saturday 11th June 2016 at Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground (Chai Wan) from 9am to 12pm.
This sporting community project aims to raise participants’ awareness of poverty and world hunger while encouraging involvement in a festive sports event organised by FIS for:
•       its family friendly and sporting aspect (parents, children and school staff run together)
•       its charitable aspect (raising funds for a worthwhile cause)
The event is open to all, young and old. Many classes have already started training.

We look forward to seeing you there!
