Article from paul chan's blog :)- http://community.mediacorp.com.sg/TV/CS/blogs/baguatv/default.aspxMediacorp Leading Artistes Happy To Play Supporting Roles?
Frankly, I wasn’t too sure at first. Not until I found out what to expect at the ‘TrueHearts 2009’ press conference held yesterday - a TV charity show by Community Chest. I could really feel the artistes’ genuine dedication in playing supporting roles to the beneficiaries.
Instead of the usual ‘see-how-pitiful-we-are-now-and-please-donate’ TV charity show, ‘TrueHearts 2009’ does it differently. It offers Singaporeans a glimpse into the lives of its joyful beneficiaries. Community Chest hopes Singaporeans will come to deeply appreciate the daily challenges that they face, and how crucial and significant the care and life-long charity support is to them.
Set in the heartland of Singapore at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh on Sunday, 7 June at 7pm, viewers will have a first-hand experience of the talents of these beneficiaries through performances such as Yang Ching, Wushu, Drums and Ballet together with our MediaCorp artistes.
