| Hopewell Supports Playright’s Hospital Play Development Project | | | 17 Dec 2011
Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) has announced that it will sponsor the Playright Children Play Association’s (“Playright”) 2-year Hospital Play Development Project including the ‘Play Actions of Hospital Play Youth Ambassador Group’. As the kick-off, the "HH Social Club Christmas Play Event" was held at Panda Hotel on Saturday, 17 December 2011. Over 110 young patients aged between 2 and 19 years old with chronic illness and their families were invited to celebrate Christmas through a series of play activities, performances and buffet.
A cheque presentation ceremony for the donation of HK$200,000 symbolized the official start of the collaboration. 9 Playright Hospital Play Youth Ambassadors (“Youth Ambassadors”) joint hands with nearly 100 HH Social Club volunteers, comprising Hopewell staff, their families and friends and Hong Kong athletes, to inspire the young patients from Princess Margaret Hospital, Caritas Medical Centre and Kwong Wah Hospital and their families to appreciate the value of play through the carefully designed games and performances and to celebrate Christmas.
Many hospitalized children receiving long-term treatment are having relatively less contact with the outside world and thus are lacking care from the society. Through training and practices, the ‘Play Actions of Hospital Play Youth Ambassador Group’ aims to empower Youth Ambassadors with chronic illness who have benefited from hospital play services. They then pass on their care and support to other child patients through hospital play service to help them recover more speedily. |
