Melco Resorts volunteers continued to share love and care with the local community this Mid-Autumn season through the company’s signature “Simple Acts of Kindness” initiative.
Together with the Company’s community partners, over 100 Melco colleague volunteers and their families and children dedicated 105 hours to the local community, delivering love and festive joy to 340 community beneficiaries through a series of activities. The volunteers’ help benefited the community’s elderlies, children, youth and healthcare patients.
Melco kept encouraging volunteers to join the festive activities with their children as part of its “Teaching Children Values” program, highlighting the importance of imparting positive values to the next generation by caring for the community through volunteering. The initiative further supports valued family bonding time for volunteers and their families.
Highlight events included a visit to the patients of Kiang Wu Hospital Hospice and Palliative Care Center in collaboration with youth volunteers from Macao Borderless Youth Association, where volunteers performed festive songs, created balloon art, and delivered fresh fruits and handcrafted Mid-Autumn festival lanterns made by Melco’s parent-child volunteers, sharing their blessings to the center’s beneficiaries.
Head Nurse Wong of Kiang Wu Hospital Hospice and Palliative Care Center expressed gratitude to Melco volunteers and the youth volunteers of Macao Borderless Youth Association for visiting the hospital and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with the residents, and for organizing fun activities with the residents in singing songs and guessing lantern riddles. On behalf of the residents, she expressed gratitude for the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns and fruits gifted, noting that the event brought much joy and warmth, allowing residents to spend a pleasant afternoon, and that she looks forward to further collaborations with volunteer groups on holiday seasons to create more heartwarming and beautiful festivals for the center’s residents.
At another activity, Dr. Raymond Lo, Senior Vice President, Head of Global Marketing and General Manager of Altira and Mocha Clubs, was joined by Melco volunteers, parent-child volunteers, and their families in a visit to the Pou Tai Integrated Service Center for the Elderly. Volunteers presented festive hampers and mooncakes to around 70 elderly beneficiaries, whilst also delivering and serving specially prepared healthy dim sum tea sets to the residents for their enjoyment. Melco’s young volunteers showcased their talent through martial arts and piano performances, as beneficiaries enjoyed lantern riddle guessing games with the volunteers.
On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival (October 6), another group of Melco volunteers spent a joyful afternoon with around 80 elderly residents of Asilo Vila Madalena in Coloane, sharing their carefully prepared Chinese tea sets, festive gifts, and mooncakes whilst also playing games with the beneficiaries.
Ms. Cherry Lei, Dean of Asilo Vila Madalena, said, “We are grateful for the Melco volunteer team’s visit and for bringing a warm and memorable afternoon to our elderly residents during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Not only did the team prepare a sumptuous Chinese afternoon tea for everyone, but a series of interactive games and exciting programs were also thoughtfully arranged, together with the presentation of festive gifts. The atmosphere was cheerful and warm as they spent a joyful time of reunion with the elderly.”
