During this challenging time of the pandemic, Sands China’s group of team member volunteers – the Sands Cares Ambassadors – have been working together with local community organisations, NGOs and schools to offer their support to help keep Macao healthy and safe from COVID-19, and to express their care for some of society’s more vulnerable groups.
Their initiatives have included many different types of activities. The Ambassadors have helped deliver relief items like medical facemasks and hand sanitisers to community groups, as part of Sands China’s MOP 5 million COVID-19 relief fund. They‘ve also helped clean and sanitise local school facilities, and have made phone calls to check in on elderly Peng On Tung users. And they’ve also packed and distributed sanitation and emergency typhoon response kits with Macau Red Cross.
And with the community largely staying home to prevent the spread of the virus, Sands China Ltd. and the Sheng Kung Hui Social Service Coordination Office worked together to organise a parent-child colouring contest, aimed at enhancing parent-child interactions and enriching children’s at-home activities.
Sands China’s COVID-19 relief effort in Macao is part of Sands Cares, the global corporate citizenship program of its parent company, Las Vegas Sands Corp.
