The Hong Kong Rugby Union will this weekend host a series of activities through its Community Foundation – the governing body's charity arm set up in 2013.
Former Scotland lock Jim Hamilton kicks things off Friday when he launches a new primary school initiative, Hong Kong’s Rugby Spirit, at a ceremony at the Sir Ellis Kadoorie School in So Kon Po.
Backed by UBS, the scheme aims to promote some key values that are generally associated with the sport – such as honesty, respect and teamwork.
Hamilton, who helped his club Saracens to both the English Premiership and European Rugby Champions Cup titles this season, comes from a Hong Kong background and makes no secret that rugby helped give his life positive direction when he was a troubled teenager.

Societe Generale and the Community Foundation will also be announcing a partnership on several upcoming projects which will offer opportunities for youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in community rugby programmes.
