As CDMF Chairman Amy Chan notes, the programme helps the young participants inculcate a saving habit, while offering work placement opportunities based upon interests and potential. For example, Wai Shan had her internship at UMP Medical Centre, and through which she broadened her horizons as well as improved employability, soft and social skills, thereby increasing her chance to move up the social ladder.
“Talent is our city’s greatest asset. We provide children growing up in low-income families opportunities and experiences, so that they can build from an early age aspirations for their futures which they can walk towards with confidence and motivation,” explains Chan. “To reduce inequality in our society, nurturing the youth is a priority. The donation from Chinachem Group has made this collaborative effort assembling the government, businesses and civil society possible. It will surely create a great impact. Together we nurture our young talent to drive a sustainable economic development in Hong Kong.”
