The French Consulate General invited the Foundation to present a unique exhibition on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s life and the story of “The Little Prince”, as part of the famous French Arts Festival in Hong Kong, “Le French May”, in the main atrium of Olympian City 2, from 2 May to 2 June 2014.

During the opening ceremony, the Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, His Excellency Arnaud Barthelemy, recalled the visionary thinking and humanist values of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which continue to be a tremendous source of inspiration, 70 years after his tragic disappearance during an aerial reconnaissance mission for France during WWII.

Yuen, Chairman of “Le French May”, Ms. Nikki Ng, Group General Manager of Sino Group, Dr. Louis Ng, Assistant Director of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong, and Mr. Lionel de Saint-Exupéry, distinguished member of the Foundation’s patronage committee.

The Secretary General of the Foundation, Mr. Nicolas Delsalle-Mun, expressed his gratitude to the main partners of the exhibition and its educational workshops related to “The Little Prince”: the French Consulate General, Sino Art & Olympian City, Medialink and the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Estate. Then he presented the Foundation’s charitable activities in Hong Kong, through its support of the local NGO, Music for the Growing Mind, which helps disadvantaged Chinese children by providing them with musical education and social assistance.
