Chinachem Group and TREATS Foster Inclusion Through Mochi-Making Workshop for Children with Special Needs

Hong Kong – Chinachem Group volunteers recently partnered with the charity TREATS to host a mochi-making workshop for children with special educational needs, celebrating the spirit of Chinese New Year and promoting inclusivity. The event, held as part of the company’s annual charity campaign and Operation Santa Claus (OSC), aimed to strengthen community ties and provide a joyful experience for all participants.

Building Bridges Through Festive Traditions

The workshop brought together children with special educational needs and Chinachem Group volunteers to create traditional festive food – mochi. Amy Wu, Director of Corporate Communications at Chinachem Group, emphasized the company’s commitment to creating people-centered places that foster belonging and inclusion. “At Chinachem Group, we create people‑centred places that connect people with their surroundings, and foster belonging, inclusion and shared purpose,” she said. “This closely aligns with the OSC theme of building bridges.”

Ongoing Support for Operation Santa Claus

Chinachem Group’s involvement extends beyond this single workshop. Since 2021, the Group has actively supported Operation Santa Claus, an annual fundraising campaign organized jointly by the South China Morning Post and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK).
