Corporate Bits | CESL Asia sponsored 2014 bocce game event

The Macau Special Olympics hosted its 2014 CESL Asia & MSO Bocce Game Event on Sunday at its headquarters, attracting more than 120 participants in total. The organizer expressed hopes that, through the bocce game, people who are mentally-challenged or students with special education needs were encouraged to engage in sport activities believed to be conducive to their self-discovery of talents and interests.
The bocce game welcomed mentally-challenged people from local special schools, sheltered workshops, caring centers and residential cares as well as their parents. Participants enjoyed the game in groups based on their age and skills with delight. Volunteers from CESL Asia interacted with the game’s players with enthusiasm throughout the bocce game, adding to the enormous joy of the day.
In support of the development of social works for years, CESL Asia launched its “CESL Asia Social Investment” fund in 2000 to support the socially vulnerable groups in the city.
Present at the game were also representatives and guests respectively from CESL Asia, Macau Sport Development Board, Education and Youth Affairs Bureau and Sports Committee, who joined the award presentation later.

“These exceptional individuals have demonstrated great ambition and dedication to their chosen fields, and will now spend a total of 16 months learning in the classroom and on the job,” stated a press release issued by MGM.  The graduates set off for Las Vegas, Nevada, USA the other day for their 11-month training and development program, where they will be rotating through a variety of positions, both front and back of the house, before returning to Macau for another five months of management training in their chosen departments.
Mr Grant R. Bowie, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, said: “We are passionate about investing in the future leaders of Macau, and we believe in nurturing and highlighting talent through effective training as well as inspiring and empowering young people to reach their full potential and create a brighter future for Macau.”
In March, MGM MACAU officially launched the MAP, sponsored by MGM Resorts International, with the goal of molding today’s graduates into tomorrow’s leaders of Macau.
