Sino Group, in partnership with Operation Santa Claus (OSC), invited 23 children and their family members from the Zubin Foundation, an NGO that aims to improve the lives of Hong Kong’s ethnic minority groups, to a sustainability-themed Christmas party at the Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel on December 17.

OSC is an annual charity drive organised by the Post and public broadcaster RTHK.

“We’re delighted to partner with OSC once again for the 19th year,” said Vivian Lee, group general manager for corporate marketing, communications and sustainability at Sino Group. “In this Christmas party, we’ll be creating a memorable and inclusive experience for ethnic minority children.

“We believe in equal treatment for all, regardless of ethnicity, religion, age or abilities. Through this initiative, we aim to build an inclusive society that values respect and dignity for everyone,” she added.

The party kicked off with a delightful Christmas buffet lunch, where children and their parents indulged in a spread of festive treats.
