Through coordination with, and the support of, the Housing Bureau, a group of Sands China team members took the initiative to organize a project to repair affected Coloane homes during Typhoon Hato.
Currently, 22 homes have been repaired. Among them were three metal-structure homes on Navegantes Street, which needed complete reconstruction.
That project lasted for approximately a month and a half.
For the remaining 19 homes on Navegantes Street and in Lai Chi Vun, repair works included roofs, walls, doors, windows, wiring, and water leaks.
“Sands China is grateful to the local construction companies and suppliers who worked with our team members on this project,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd. “Their support was instrumental in helping these residents return to their homes.”
Meanwhile Loi Sai Mui, managing director of the Association of Residents of Lai Chi Vun, said: “They [Sands China] gave immediate assistance to the affected families to repair their damaged homes, and the residents were so happy to have their homes restored.”
