Sands Cares Ambassadors Host Special Needs Children to Experience teamLab SuperNature Macao

Part of Sands China’s community service efforts

(Macao, July 1, 2020) – Sands Cares Ambassadors recently hosted a group of children with special needs at The Venetian^® Macao’s Cotai Expo to experience the immersive art space of teamLab SuperNature Macao, as part of the company’s efforts to give back to community.

Around 50 Sands Cares Ambassadors underwent an extensive training session before accompanying a total of 160 members from four local community associations to enjoy 19 pieces of artwork and share an unforgettable time together: Cradle of Hope Association, Macau Down Syndrome Association, Macau Autism Association and Macau Deaf Association.

“Sands China is very pleased that our Sands Cares Ambassadors had this chance to host children with special needs for a visit to this interactive art experience,” said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd. “In every community, underprivileged children deserve our extra care and attention, and our team of volunteers enjoys the opportunity to help nurture them and provide them with positive developmental opportunities. We’re very glad that this visit to teamLab could contribute to our company’s efforts to give back to community through our Sands Cares programme.”

The Sands Cares Ambassadors accompanied and guided the underprivileged children at teamLab, where they enjoyed interactive experiences like The Infinite Crystal Universe, Valley of Flowers and People and Sketch Ocean. The tour is an example of one of the pillar activities of the Sands Cares Ambassador programme – to bring less fortunate groups to some of the latest attractions at Sands China’s integrated resorts to spread joy and express care for the community.

With a theme of Immerse the Body, Create with Others, and Become One, teamLab SuperNature Macao is an extremely complex, three-dimensional interactive space with varying elevations spanning 5,000 square metres and comprising enormous 8-metre-tall works by art collective teamLab. It is a “body immersive” museum centred around a group of artwork that aims to explore new perceptions of the world and the continuity between humans and nature.

The Sands Cares Ambassador programme was established in August 2009 to give Sands China team members an outlet for serving the local community by organising community activities and initiatives that work toward creating a better Macao. With membership of more than 3,300 volunteers from across all Sands China properties – Sands^® Macao, The Venetian^® Macao, The Plaza^® Macao, Sands^® Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao – the Sands Cares Ambassadors have contributed more than 110,000 hours of voluntary community service since the programme’s founding.

The Sands Cares Ambassador programme is part of Sands Cares, the global corporate citizenship programme of parent company Las Vegas Sands Corp.
