Sands China Ltd. presented a cheque for just over MOP2 million to Macau Holy House of Mercy yesterday to help with the cost of restoring its elderly home, which was damaged when Typhoon Hato tore through Macau in August.
Sands China Ltd.’s president Wilfred Wong met with the elderly residents and received a tour of the damaged areas that will be restored with the help of Sands China’s donation.
“Macau is still recovering from the devastation of Typhoon Hato, so it is important that we continue to assist the community where we can,” said the president.
Holy House of Mercy’s president Antonio José de Freitas said, “this donation will be of critical importance in helping us restore our elderly home back to a suitable condition for its residents.”
Typhoon Hato caused damage to Macau Holy House of Mercy’s elderly home, including major structural damage to its roof.
