Sands Cares Ambassadors Visit Elderly at Ka Ho Centre
(Macao,
October
4, 2019) –
A group of around 30
Sands Cares Ambassadors visited 70 elderly
members of the Ka Ho elderly centre in
Coloane Sept. 13, offering them service and
good cheer.
After a meet and greet in the centre’s
lobby, the Sands volunteers led the
participants in some light exercise,
followed by some songs led by Sands China’s
entertainment team, including the popular
Chinese song, “The Moon Represents My
Heart.”
Then the Sands Cares Ambassadors did finger
exercises with the elderly, played games
with them, and distributed gift packs. The
visit concluded with a group photo and a
tour of the centre.
“With the Sands Cares Ambassadors
celebrating the 10th anniversary of the
programme this year, they remain exemplary
frontline ambassadors of the company’s
emphasis on community service and corporate
social responsibility,” said Dr. Wilfred
Wong, president of Sands China Ltd.
“Activities like their visit to the Ka Ho
elderly centre demonstrate their care for
the community and their selfless spirit of
volunteerism. The company is grateful for
their service and looks forward to many more
years of their contributions to come.”
The Ka Ho elderly centre reopened its doors
in 2018 after undergoing renovation work. It
provides comprehensive care for local
elderly people who require a high level of
care to help them live a healthy and happy
life.
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.
