Hong Kong children learn to make crafts with unused plastic straws
- Dozens of young craft makers were brought together by Junior Achievement Hong Kong and the Hub Hong Kong, beneficiaries of Operation Santa Claus
- Winnie Woo, general manager of L’hotel Island South, says their hotel group organised the event to help the city’s next generation adopt green habits
Dozens of children got an opportunity to make crafts with unused plastic straws provided by a hotel chain earlier this month.
Led by the staff of L’hotel Group, the children created decoration pieces with the plastics meant for single use at a Christmas party hosted at L’hotel Nina et Convention Centre in Tsuen Wan on December 8.
The young craft makers and their families, brought together by charities Junior Achievement Hong Kong and the Hub Hong Kong, were also treated to a Christmas buffet.
Both the charitable organisations offer empowerment programmes for young people and are beneficiaries of Operation Santa Claus, the annual fundraising campaign organised by the South China Morning Post and public broadcaster RTHK.
L’hotel Group is a supporter of the donation drive.
