Sharing love and promoting green messages
Around 70 HH Social Club volunteers and 9 Playright Hospital Play Youth Ambassadors ("Youth Ambassadors") from the Hopewell sponsored programme - "Play Actions of Hospital Play Youth Ambassador Group" formed a strong working team in the event. This year, the volunteer to children ratio has reached one to one, which allowed every young patient to be well taken care. Volunteers designed play zones and performances within the frames of the "environmental theme." As a result, young patients from Princess Margaret Hospital, Caritas Medical Centre and Kwong Wah Hospital and their families understood and appreciated the value of play and the joy of Christmas.
Apart from taking care of the participants, HH Social Club volunteers also performed a "green drama" which is especially written for the event. The heartwarming environmental message in the drama reminded participants to cherish natural resources and celebrate Christmas in an environmentally friendly manner. Furthermore, HH Social Club models the virtues of an environmentally friendly corporate as the sponsored gifts were packed with Social Club recycled bags and the Christmas meal was served with reusable meal boxes.

Starting from 2011, Hopewell has been sponsoring the Playright’s 2-year Hospital Play Development Project, including the "Play Actions of Hospital Play Youth Ambassador Group" which helped youngsters explore their potentials for a well-rounded development. This project helped Youth Ambassadors build confidence in the experience of taking care of child patients. |
