The Welfare Council has been committed to connecting the commercial sector with the public sector to facilitate collaborations between organisations in fulfilling corporate social responsibility. Previously, A Plus World Trade Company Limited, a partner from the commercial sector, has donated 330,000 pieces biodegradable and ccompostable dining utensils, which amounted to HK$130,000, to the Council. On 9th February, 2018, a donation ceremony was held at the S.K.H. Church of St. John the Baptist, with the presence of Dr William Choi, Chairman of A Plus World Trade Company Limited, and Dr Jane Lee, Director of the Welfare Council. Dr Choi also distributed gift bags to the elderly and celebrated the Spring Festival with them.
Accompanied by Mr Perick Wong, Service Director of the Welfare Council, Dr Choi toured the Tseung Kwan O Aged Care Complex and was briefed on its operation and services. Dr Choi then reunited with Mr Palman Chan, a resident of the complex as well as the former principal of Choi’s alma mater. Together, they also shared the precious memories from the time they were in school.
