That is why HKBN’s campaign to collect eyeglasses here in Hong Kong will mean so much to people around the world. With the amazing amount of eyeglasses donated, Crossroads can offer this precious gift to more people than ever before. It is so encouraging to know that companies like HKBN have put their heart and energy into helping so many, for which we are extremely grateful”. - End - About City Telecom/Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited Established in 1992, City Telecom (H.K.)

About the Crossroads Foundation Crossroads Foundation is a Hong Kong based, non-profit organization serving global need. Crossroads believes that, in a broken world that sees too much suffering, we should do all we can to link those who are in need with those who can provide help. So they provide an intersection, literally a crossroads, to bring both together. One way they do this is through Global Distribution – donating Hong Kong’s quality excess goods as needed, internationally and locally. It provides a Crossroads between need and supply.
