Storyland
Dear Kids and Kidults,
A warm welcome and thank you for browsing our Webpage.
The Storyland at the Chuk Yuen Estate Community Centre has
already opened! Surely you would like to know more about our
facilities and services.
No matter how old you are, "stories" and "storytelling" must
be familiar to you. Hans Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling", "The
little Match Seller" must be one of your favorite bedside
stories! And we hope to achieve the mission and vision of
the Hans Andersen Club, by creating the 'happiest childhood'
at Storyland for children in the community.
Today, our dreams have come true!
