Xiang Hua Tian and the Beverly Art Alliance collaborate to collect heartwarming toys for Beverly Children's Hospital in the United States.
After a month of fundraising, the staff of "Hsiang Hua Temple - New Art Realm" Beverly Hills flagship store joyfully delivered toys donated by caring individuals from the store's small Christmas tree to the enormous Christmas tree at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) – joining charitable toys from all over the United States! This way, children can have many toys accompanying them during their difficult treatment!

This morning, Children's Hospital Los Angeles Associate Director Jan Seiget met us at the entrance and led us with newly arrived Los Angeles Arts Alliance founder Peter Drivas to one of the children's hospital's outdoor parks.
The entire park is decorated with lots of dolls and poinsettias, full of Christmas spirit, with a giant Christmas tree in the center.
A kind couple donates Christmas trees to the hospital every year. Over the years, the Christmas tree standing in the center of the park has become a symbolic Christmas tradition for the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. We also took a group photo here and received a certificate of appreciation from the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

The emergency room corridor of a children's hospital in Los Angeles, USA
After the group photo, Jen Tsai, the Senior Executive Assistant, immediately took us on a tour of the hospital, and the emergency corridor was adorned with paintings donated by Xiang Hua Tian last year.
Last year, 2016, Xiang Hwa Tian collaborated with the Los Angeles Children's Art Association to host the "Dreamweavers" charity art exhibition, raising funds and art for the Los Angeles Children's Hospital. On the first day of the exhibition, Xiang Hwa Tian led the way by donating 5 artworks by artist Cindy Thornton to the Los Angeles Children's Hospital.
Today, five beautiful and healing paintings hang in the emergency room corridor of a Los Angeles children's hospital, bringing courage and hope to sick children and their families.
Peter, the founder of the Los Angeles Art League, was suddenly moved to tears upon seeing this scene.
In the past two years, Rachael Hsin, a store associate at Hung Hwa Tien's Beverly Hills flagship store, has been a great contributor to our charitable collaborations. Despite a serious illness, she had a cheerful and outgoing personality, bringing warmth to everyone during the events she participated in with the Los Angeles Art Alliance. A week ago, she passed away and became an angel. Peter's tears are a lament that she couldn't be here to see this moment with us.
After wiping away his tears, Peter believed that Rachel's benevolent spirit could be passed down through these paintings. He was happy that these artworks could be hung in the hospital to help patients and their families.
"Sincere thanks to Rachael Hsin and GP DEVA X-Power Gallery for their generous donation to Children's Hospital Los Angeles." - Children's Hospital Los Angeles Appreciation Letter
The true meaning of Christmas
The origin of Christmas gifts comes from the charitable "Saint Nicholas," who is the prototype of Santa Claus. Historically, in the 4th century, this orphaned heir, after growing up, donated all his wealth to poor families and vagrants, sometimes secretly throwing gold coins down chimneys, and other times leaving gifts by the side of the poor while they slept. After Saint Nicholas became a bishop, he dedicated himself even more to helping those in need. As you gather and dine with family and friends during the festive Christmas season, Scientek invites you to do charity and good deeds during this heartwarming holiday break, spreading the true meaning of Christmas!
