Sands Cares Ambassadors Join Training Workshop to Enhance Service Skills
Part of lead-up to volunteer programme’s 10th anniversary
(Macao, March 26, 2019) –
Around 40 Sands Cares Ambassadors recently
completed a training workshop to help them
better serve the community. The workshop
aimed to enhance the service quality of
their volunteer work while helping them
learn more about the concept and
significance of corporate volunteers.
The activity is one in a year-long series of
celebratory activities leading up to the
10th anniversary of the Sands Cares
Ambassador programme in August 2019, with
the theme Spreading Love and Embracing Our
Community.
The workshop was
offered March 16 at The Venetian®
Macao’s Adelson Advanced Education Centre,
and was led by a professional trainer, Leo
Hung, Chairperson of Supervisory of the
Association for Volunteers Social Service of
Macao.
Through presentations and interactive games,
workshop participants examined effective
volunteer strategies and skills, and
discussed the nature of volunteer service
and the relationship between volunteers and
those they serve. They learned about
international standards of volunteering and
the ethics and benefits for each stakeholder
involved. They also had the opportunity to
share their own experiences as volunteers to
gain insights from one
another.
“I’m so proud to
have been a Sands Cares Ambassador for
nearly 10 years now, and I’m really excited
about our upcoming anniversary celebration,”
said one of the workshop participants.
“Being a volunteer has been one of the best
decisions I’ve made since joining Sands
China, and attending this workshop was a
really good way for me to prepare myself for
continuing to volunteer with the programme.
I look forward to continuing my service with
the skills and insights I picked up during
the
workshop.”
The Sands Cares
Ambassador programme was established in
August 2009 to give Sands China team
members an outlet for serving the local
community by organising community
activities and initiatives that work
toward creating a better Macao. With
membership of more than 3,300 volunteers
from across all Sands China properties –
Sands® Macao, The Venetian
Macao, The Plaza® Macao,
Sands® Cotai Central and The
Parisian Macao – the Sands Cares
Ambassadors have contributed 100,000
hours of voluntary community service
since the programme’s
founding.
The Sands Cares
Ambassador programme is part of Sands
Cares, the global corporate
citizenship programme of parent company
Las Vegas Sands
Corp.
