Sands China Ltd. recently partnered with the Fuhong Society of Macau to deliver gift packs to a number of children’s centres in celebration of World Children’s Day.
In the days leading up to Children’s Day on June 1, a group of Sands Cares Ambassadors joined Fuhong members to show love and care to children in need, handing out more than 2,500 gift packs during their visits to 63 providers of children’s services, including the Vila Lok Tou Residential Care Service Unit, H.K.S.K.H. Astor Shore and the Child Protection Centre of the Against Child Abuse (Macau) Association.
The gift packs were purchased from Fuhong that provides a platform for people with disabilities to showcase their talents. Each gift pack contained stationery, snacks, and a diamond art keychain, which the Ambassadors and service users from Fuhong made together.
The Ambassadors learnt more about the services provided by the children’s centres during their visits, enriching their experience in this area and paving the way for them to develop more of such initiatives in the future.
The Fuhong Society of Macau is one of the first NGOs that the Sands Cares Ambassador programme began collaborating with in 2009. With its partnership with Fuhong over the years, Sands China has continued to promote social inclusion through different initiatives, including offering people with disabilities the chance to showcase their talent in art. – spr
