Gifts of hope

Laura Ricciardi, a volunteer artist and pianist, sits at one of 50 pianos that will be donated to New York City public schools as part of the fifth annual Sing for Hope community arts program sponsored by Chinese investment company Fosun. The pianos, all individually decorated, were on display at Fosun's 28 Liberty complex Monday in New York. "It is an honor to support Sing for Hope as it fulfills its mission to provide arts resources and programming to under-served neighborhoods in New York City," said Bo Wei, CEO of Fosun Group in the US.
