Sands China Wraps Up 'Amazing Summer' Activities for Team Members and Their Families

500 parents and children enjoy series of free family activities

(Macao, Sept 20, 2023) – Sands China successfully concluded its Sands China Amazing Summer 2023 campaign recently, with approximately 500 team members and their families joining a wide range of engaging workshops and activities throughout July and August. The campaign's overarching goal was to promote family harmony, improve communication, and foster mutual understanding among team members and their children through a series of thoughtfully designed initiatives and events.

Amy Lee, vice president of human resources for Sands China Ltd., said: "At Sands China, we care deeply about the well-being and work-life balance of our team members, and we understand that a happy family life is vital to their mental health. With this in mind, we are delighted to have provided recreational and family activities through the Amazing Summer campaign, allowing our team members to enjoy quality family time."

The campaign kicked off on July 21 with the Amazing Fun Party. Children were treated to a hands-on experience at the Little Master Chef Workshop, where they had the opportunity to learn the art of sushi-making from a professional Sands China chef. They also played a thrilling and educational team-based game, the Little Incredibles, designed to test their knowledge and communication skills. A Little Artist Workshop provided a creative platform for children to unleash their imaginations and create beautiful DIY handmade arts and crafts under the guidance of a skilled mentor.

One of the highlights of the Amazing Summer campaign was the Kinball Open Day on Aug. 28. The event introduced team members to Kinball, an emerging sport, with the aim of providing children with a fun-filled experience while promoting healthy exercise habits and the joy of sports. In collaboration with the University of Macau Alumni Sports Association and the University of Macau Students' Union Kin-ball Club, this parent-child sports event fostered team spirit among children while promoting a positive attitude towards life.

A team member who participated in Kinball Open Day said: "I had heard before that Kinball was a new sport, but had few opportunities to experience it, so I'm grateful that the company organised this event. It was a great bonding activity for me and my kid, and we got to learn a new sport together that was very accessible and easy to learn. I hope the company continues to offer fun activities like these for parents and children."

Amazing Summer's diverse range of engaging activities included a Storytelling Workshop on July 26 that provided an interactive reading experience using picture books focused on virtues and life education, seeking to spark children's creativity. The Family Field Trip to the Macao Grand Prix Museum on July 27 let participants learn the prestigious history of the Macau Grand Prix and experience the excitement surrounding this internationally acclaimed event. The DIY Your Plant Workshop on Aug. 10 enabled parents and children to express their artistic talents by painting their own unique flower pots, while fostering a connection with nature through the joys of planting and gardening. An MVP Camp on Aug. 18 gave children an unforgettable opportunity to immerse themselves in the joy of basketball through interactive exercises and games. Finally, the Let's Paint Together activity on Aug. 23 allowed children to explore their artistic abilities and learn drawing skills and concepts using pastels, creating their own artworks in the process under the guidance of a skilled mentor.

The Amazing Summer campaign is part of Sands China's ongoing commitment to the well-being and quality of life of its team members, both at work and at home. Since 2022, the company has collaborated with the Macao Education and Youth Bureau to promote parenting education among team members, such as through initiatives like Sands China's Parenting Education Programme, which aims to enhance team members' awareness and understanding of parent-child education. To date, the company has organised approximately 30 on-site parenting education programs at Sands China properties.
