Care For Communities

The 360 Caring Team created a “Ngong Ping 360 Bodhi Tree”for children attending the after-school care service at Tung Chung Integrated Services Centre of the Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council. The team also played games with the children via video communication well into the evening.　　　　

As the "360 Winter FILAland" carnival held at the Ngong Ping Village came to a close, the decision was made to donate the event materials to two local primary schools in an effort to reduce waste. It is hoped that the old staging will put to a news use, either through upcycling or as a teaching resource. 

The 360 Caring Team collaborated with Make-A-Wish Hong Kong to hold a Red Packet Design Competition, which attracted nearly 1500 participants from kindergartens and primary schools.

The award-winning entries have already been produced as real red packets and sent to Wish Families, Tung Chung residents, the winners and their schools. Some red packets were also sent to selected followers of the Ngong Ping 360 Facebook page. The competition was covered by a number of media.

In October, the 360 Caring Team made kaleidoscopes for the residents of the elderly care home Methodist Centre. The elderly further crafted and customised their kaleidoscopes, tapping into their creativity. In another initiative, the 360 Caring Team held its first online live chat with the elderly to show care and spread happiness.

Managing Director Andy Lau led our colleagues on a litter-collection mission along the Ngong Ping Trail in early May. A month after the first clean-up activity, some of our media friends joined the 360 Caring Team to clean the trail again.
