Operation Santa Claus
To spread love and care in the festive season, we participated in the annual Operation Santa Claus initiative co-presented by the South China Morning Post and Radio Television Hong Kong. This is the 18th consecutive year of our support of the heartwarming deed to help make a positive impact on the community.
We invited 20 children supported by the Hong Kong Children in Need Foundation and their families to a hearty Christmas feast at The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong for a fun-filled celebration. Our guests all enjoyed a buffet serving sustainably sourced food and participating in a gingerbread house-making and sustainable Christmas tree ornament-making workshop. The meaningful gathering concluded with a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Spreading Warmth to 3,000 Children and Families on Winter Days
The Group and the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation launched a festive programme to support those in need and bring them the season’s blessings with a series of volunteering services. Supported by our community partners and volunteer team ‘Sino Caring Friends’, gift packs were distributed to about 3,000 underprivileged children and families as well as those living in residential care homes.
During the cold spells brought by the winter monsoon, Sino Caring Friends distributed bo jai fan (claypot rice) to warm the hearts and stomachs of families and children in need, extending care to the community on winter days.
Special nighttime open-top bus tours were also arranged for less-resourced families and children to enjoy the vibrant Christmas illuminations in Tsim Sha Tsui, including the iconic snowflake pattern lighting up the façades of the Tsim Sha Tsui Centre and Empire Centre as a part of this tradition.
We also hosted Christmas buffet lunches for residents of Children’s Homes, treating them to a festive lunch at the Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel and The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong. Mr Victor Tin, Executive Director, joined the teens for a fun-filled afternoon and spread festive cheer by distributing Christmas gifts.
