The Sands China Care Ambassador program sent a group of over 70 volunteers to Seac Pai Van public housing in Coloane Sunday morning, where they spent time with local independently living elderly for an annual spring-cleaning activity.
This year is the eighth in a row the Care Ambassadors are assisting the region’s elderly who live alone to prepare for the Chinese New Year with an annual spring-clean.
The volunteers paid a visit to 50 households – double that of the previous year – taking cleaning supplies along with them so they could sweep, mop and vacuum the homes.
According to Sands China’s press release, the Care Ambassadors also brought Chinese New Year gift packs for the residents, which contain useful staples like oil, grain and noodles, and a hygiene kit recently put together by Sands China team members. Each hygiene kit includes soap, shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush and toothpaste.
