The HKTDC is cooperating with various overseas countries to promote increased bilateral trade between Hong Kong and the rest of the world, and leverage Hong Kong’s strategic regional position as a commercial, financial, logistics, business services, and trade show hub to help foreign companies make business connections and increase their sales to Hong Kong, Chinese mainland and other Asia Pacific markets.
Neighborhood Storage, which opened in 1979, heard of the plight. The company not only paid $500 to its partner, South Ocala Elementary School, but also gave an additional $3,500 to be split among seven schools that did not have a business partner.
The money helped pay for breakfast, lunch and/or other activities that the school had planned for its teachers.
Those schools were: North Marion High, Horizon Academy and five elementary schools: Emerald Shores, Greenway Elementary, Harbour View, Legacy Elementary and Ocala Springs. The money is paid through the Public Education Foundation of Marion County. Business Partnerships play a vital role in supporting schools, said Meghan Magamoll, the foundation s executive director, in a text interview. During this past Teacher Appreciation Week, Neighborhood Storage stepped up to the plate and provided funding to all seven of the schools without their own partners.
