| Hopewell Joins Hands with HKDI Students and Employees in Mural Workshop to Revitalize Wan Chai | | | 09 Nov 2024
Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) has long been committed to nurturing the next generation and supporting youth development. Earlier, Hopewell co-organized the Hopewell Storytelling Design Competition with the Vocational Training Council (VTC). To further enrich the competition, a mural workshop was held on Saturday, November 9, at the backlane of Hopewell Mall.
The event brought together four award winners and four students from Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), alongside 21 HH Social Club volunteers and their family members. Guided by mural artists, participants worked in groups to add vibrant colors to buildings, figures, mountains, and trees. Through this collaborative creation, energy and joy were infused into the Wan Chai community, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of old and new cultures.
The giant mural now serves as a visual celebration of Wan Chai's history and unique character, inviting the public to appreciate the district's stories while breathing new life and vitality into the community. It reflects Hopewell's commitment to youth development and community building. |
| Hopewell Centre and Panda Place Support Mooncake Recycling Program | | | 20 Aug 2024
Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) actively promotes a culture of food conservation and social care. This year, Hopewell Centre and Panda Place continue to support the “Mooncake Recycling Program” organized by St. James’ Settlement, encouraging the public to donate surplus mooncakes to reduce waste and share the festive joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival with grassroots families, the elderly, and other underprivileged communities.
Public Mooncake Recycling Points
Hopewell Centre has supported the program for many years, and this year Panda Place joined for the first time. Both properties set up collection points at their customer service centres, becoming designated public recycling locations to make it easier for citizens to participate.
FOOD-CO: Extending Love Through Food Sharing
Environmental studies reveal that Hong Kong people leave behind millions of uneaten mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival, averaging 1.2 mooncakes per household, leading to significant food waste. The recycling program is coordinated by FOOD-CO, the food-sharing platform under St. James’ Settlement. Collected mooncakes are redistributed through partner charities and delivered to those in need before the festival, ensuring that the blessings of the season are shared across society.

| Hopewell Empowers Youth Career Development | | | 29 Jul 2024
Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) is committed to nurturing the next generation of talent, helping them unlock their full potential. This year, Panda Hotel, a subsidiary of Hopewell, became a corporate partner of the "Hang Seng – St. James' Settlement Youth Career Platform," offering three Form 4 to Form 6 students a three-and-a-half-day work experience from July 29 to August 1.
The "Taste·Job 2024" aims to equip senior secondary students with essential workplace soft skills while broadening their understanding of different industries, thereby strengthening their career planning capabilities. This year, the program engaged 18 participating companies and organizations, benefiting nearly 60 students across diverse sectors including food and beverage, property management, hospitality and tourism, education, event planning, digital marketing, arts, and design.
Before commencing their work experience, St. James' Settlement provided pre-employment training to help students understand service content, job roles, and key considerations. The students were then assigned to Panda Hotel's Front Office, Food & Beverage, and Housekeeping departments, where colleagues acted as workplace mentors, guiding them through daily tasks and sharing valuable insights. Through hands-on experience, the students not only gained deeper knowledge of hotel operations but also developed communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, broadening their horizons and laying a solid foundation for future career development.
At the conclusion of the three-and-a-half-day program, students presented the outcomes of their mini-projects to a judging panel. The interns at Panda Hotel delivered outstanding performances, ultimately standing out from their peers and winning the championship, showcasing the remarkable potential of today's youth. |

Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) has teamed up with St. James' Settlement for the eighth consecutive year to organize the “Hopewell Junior Volunteers Programme” providing nearly ten students from the Po Leung Kuk Chan Yat Primary School with a meaningful visit to M+ art exhibitions.

Additionally, interactive mini-games enhanced communication among the participants. |
