Sands Cares Ambassadors Give Deaf Community Members Guided Tour of teamLab SuperNature Macao

Giving back to local community and promoting social inclusion

(Macao, Apr. 26, 2021) – A group of 20 Sands Cares Ambassadors hosted 30 deaf Catholics based at St. Joseph the Worker Church for a guided tour of the immersive art space of teamLab SuperNature Macao April 18 at The Venetian^® Macao, as part of Sands China's efforts to give back to the local community and to promote social inclusion.

The day before, the Sands volunteers attended a special sign language workshop at St. Joseph the Worker Church to get prepared for hosting their guests. Through tutorials and roleplays they learned some fundamentals of sign language that would be helpful during the teamLab tour and for future voluntary services for the deaf community.

During the guided tour, the Ambassadors and their guests divided into smaller groups, allowing them to enjoy the 19 interactive art installations at their own pace. Sign language interpretation service was also available at the tour to make the enjoyment of the art an inclusive experience.

A member of the deaf community who participated in the tour said: "I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Sands Cares Ambassadors for their thoughtful arrangements. This tour was truly a caring, inclusive and eye-opening experience for our group."

Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd., said: "Sands China is very pleased that our Sands Cares Ambassadors were able to host deaf members of St. Joseph the Worker Church to explore the interactive art installations at teamLab at The Venetian Macao. Corporate social responsibility is part of our company's core values and we are grateful for the collaboration of St. Joseph the Worker Church for this opportunity to give back to the local community and for our team members to be of service."

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, The Parisian Macao and The Londoner^® Macao – the Sands Cares Ambassadors have contributed more than 130,000 hours of voluntary community service since the programme's founding.

Sands China Ltd. considers initiatives like the guided tour of teamLab as central to its commitment toward social causes and community involvement. The company’s community work is part of Sands Cares, the global corporate citizenship programme of parent company Las Vegas Sands Corp.
