"Loving Hong Kong Loving Home
We believe that it is important to create a nurturing and loving environment for the younger generation as they grow up to become future leaders of Hong Kong. With this mission in mind, we
have collaborated with Wofoo Social
Enterprises to run the "Loving Hong Kong Loving Home" series for six consecutive years.

Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) Company Limited Annual Report 2017
This year, activities are multi-faceted. Apart from the four cruise parties in July and October 2017 which engaged over 1,400
children and their parents from underprivileged families, we also organised a carnival ashore with booth games, teaching children to cherish resources and practise thriftiness. Daily necessities, such as electrical appliances, stationery and condiments were distributed to the families as gifts. To promote the role of a good diet in maintaining health, we invited Chinese Medicine Practitioners to share information on the nutrition of seasonal foods and tips on creating recipes catering for different family needs with the parents. Throughout the year, we led the children to visit different industry facilities and places with which they are not familiar and would not be able to access on a daily basis. For example, a visit to Hong Kong Sea School was arranged in May 2017, for participants to have a better understanding of life at this unconventional boarding school.
