Caring for the Community
TVARIT LIG
Our corporate social responsibility initiatives focus on serving underprivileged families, children and the elderly as well as providing a platform for learning and exchanging knowledge.
"Loving Hong Kong Loving Home"
We recognise that creating a caring environment is essential for nurturing a supportive community. With this mission in mind, Harbour Cruise - Bauhinia utilises their fleet to organise harbour cruises for underprivileged groups. We have collaborated with Wofoo Social Enterprises for seven consecutive years to invite underprivileged children and family members to a series of "Loving Hong Kong Loving Home" cruise parties along Victoria Harbour. During the events, the children have the opportunity to have a wonderful time with their family members enjoying the remarkable view of Victoria Harbour. Apart from the cruise events, we also led the children to visit various industry facilities which may be unfamiliar and inaccessible to them. For instance, we arranged a visit for primary school students to the Hong Kong Sea School in June 2018 to have a better understanding of life at this unconventional boarding school.
Case Study - "Loving Hong Kong Loving Home" Series 2018
In July 2018, we invited around 800 people from grassroots families from different regions to “Loving Hong Kong Loving Home - Cruise Party 2018" aboard the Harbour Cruise Bauhinia in collaboration with Wofoo
Social Enterprises. This year, we integrated the concept of "simple living" in the cruise events with a series of sharing and recreational activities on healthy living carried out
on-board. We invited health practitioners to share information
on the nutrition of seasonal foods. Daily necessities, such as
electrical appliances, stationery and condiments were distributed to the families as gifts.
In October 2018, we collaborated with Pok Oi Hospital to hold an event "Loving Hong Kong Loving Home - Pok Oi Halloween Cruise Party 2018" receiving over 350 people from grassroots families in Hong Kong. A buffet was served on-board along with entertainment for them to spend a wonderful time with their family members.
