Sands China Ltd. presented MOP1.08 million in ceremonial checks to representatives of seven higher education institutions at a ceremony at The Venetian, as part of the company’s ongoing support of higher education in Macau.
“Sands China is very pleased to support higher education in Macau, as it is essential for nurturing the thriving of local youth,” said Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd.
