Travelling through time with the elderly
Date：11/2017
To help elderly people enjoy the glorious memories of their youth while experiencing technology at the same time, Roche Hong Kong, another of our Y-Care CSR partners, sent a team of volunteers to play virtual reality fruit cutting game and hold multi-sensory lion dance with a group of elderly people. This event was a big win in many ways: aside from helping the elderly learn about new technology, it also improved their physical coordination and balance. In addition to these innovative games, the elderly also travelled back in time to take part in traditional craft workshop, making shadow puppets, festive dragon heads, mini-bus signboards, Chinese paper crafts and more. The event brought them back to their glory days, helping them share their stories and memories with the younger generations.

No Plastic Bottle Day
Date:06/2017
Our annual “No Plastic Bottle Day” event was successfully held on 1 June. Participation this year was higher than ever – in addition to our promotional truck which handed out foldable “free refill” cups to the public in Central, Mongkok and Tsimshatsui; all YMCA service centres and our Y-Care CSR partners Timberland and PROTREK also took part in our Please Refill campaign, with people refilling their cups and containers in locations around the city. We hope that everyone who was given a free refill cup will use them wisely. We also hope that people in general will carry their personal water bottles with them and buy fewer bottled drinks in future. The goal is to dramatically reduce plastic bottle waste in Hong Kong – so let’s start refilling now!
