Hotel chain gives Hong Kong teens with disabilities tasty lesson on not wasting food and using leftovers
- Nina Hospitality Group gives 11 youngsters from Rhenish Church Grace School memorable Christmas experience
- Hotel has been working with Operation Santa Claus for seven years to provide money for charities and engage with their beneficiaries
Overripe mangoes, jelly made from bruised strawberries and chocolate brownie ends became the ingredients for a lesson on not wasting food and using leftovers to make Christmas desserts at the Nina Hotel Tsuen Wan West recently.
Nina Hospitality Group, which owns five hotels in Hong Kong, including the one in Tsuen Wan, hosted the workshop for 11 youngsters from Rhenish Church Grace School, which educates children with moderate intellectual disabilities.
It is part of the company’s seven-year cooperation with Operation Santa Claus, an annual fundraising initiative held by the South China Morning Post and public broadcaster RTHK.
Since 1988, OSC has raised HK$353 million to support the Hong Kong community through 323 charitable projects. This year, the 35th anniversary of its launch, OSC is funding 15 charity projects, including Rhenish Church Grace School.
Each year, the group’s parent company Chinachem Group donates HK$200,000 (US$25,700) to OSC, but Nina Hospitality also engages with the charities it funds.
