Philips Volunteers Give Away Electric Appliances to the Needy in Tsuen Wan

Members of 40 low-income families in Tsuen Wan were delighted to receive free electric appliances from Philips Electronics Hong Kong Limited (Philips) at a weekend function co-organized by Philips and the Hong Kong SKH Lady MacLehose Centre.

The event took place at Tsuen Wan Lo Wai Village Public School. The beneficiaries of this program came from Lo Wai Village, Fu Yung Shan, Tai Wo Hau and Kwong Pan Tin Village.

 

Philips has always had the needy people at heart and the Company has a comprehensive program each year to extend its care and concern to people of different districts, age groups and social backgrounds.

 

“We understand that to the underprivileged people, an electrical appliance may significantly change their lives for the better,” a member of the Philips Volunteer Team said.

 

Apart from the donation of electrical appliances, the Philips volunteers also played games with the participating family members, making the afternoon a time of joy and happiness.

 

The electrical appliances donated included 29-inch TV set, DVD home theater system, DVD players, heaters, rice cookers, eye-care desk lamps and travel bags.
