Some 60 Sands China Care Ambassadors visited the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital Sunday and Monday at the Macau International Airport.
Sands China said in a statement that it is one of the sponsors of Orbis’ Third Generation Flying Eye Hospital Tour in the region. The sponsorship covers accommodation, meals, and Hong Kong-Macau ferry transportation for Orbis’ crew during their tour of the city.
Sands China has also donated MOP 50,000 in cash to Orbis’ efforts for the Macau launch event.
The Sands China Care Ambassador program gives Sands China staff an opportunity to serve the local community.
With over 1,500 volunteers coming together from across its properties, the Sands China Care Ambassadors have contributed more than 9,500 hours of community service in over 100 activities since the program was founded in August 2009.
Portofino restaurant presents regional menu
The Venetian Macao’s Portofino restaurant is offering a regional menu featuring the cuisine of Abruzzo, one of Italy’s best-kept secrets and a little-known treasure trove of Italian gastronomy, in the ‘Abruzzo in Tavola’ promotion from now until November 21, 2016.
The promotion’s special menu has been crafted by Portofino’s Senior Chef and Abruzzo native, Domenico Cicchetti.
According to a press release by Sands China, dishes are seasoned with chili pepper, saffron, olive oil, wine, garlic and rosemary, all directly imported from Italy. One distinctive dish is chitarra, or “guitar pasta”, the name of which comes from its unique pasta cutter, a wooden box with strings used to cut sheets of egg dough into strips. Chitarra is found only in Abruzzo. Cicchetti had one of these authentic pasta cutters brought over specifically for the promotion.
Portofino is open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
