SINO Junior Reporter Programme 2020
Turn your insights and written words into fantastic prizes with the SINO Group and Young Post
Hong Kong is embracing the global trend of green living. And, keen to support the development of a more sustainable community, Mission Green Thumb, a seedling adoption programme, has been playing a big part over the past decade.
This collaboration between Sino Group and the Hong Chi Association turns workplaces or lobbies into flourishing gardens while creating employment opportunities for Hong Chi Association trainees.
You could be a part of this change by taking part in the Sino Junior Reporter Programme 2019.
