Zoom Fundraiser: Clean the World Asia x Callisupply
Global Handwashing Day was on October 15, a day to raise awareness about the importance of handwashing as a way to prevent diseases and save lives. What better way to spread the word by writing beautiful, positive messages in Chinese Calligraphy for people in need? Clean the World Asia is partnering with Chinese calligrapher Sam Chan of Callisupply to curate an online workshop where you can write caring messages for low-income families and elderly in Hong Kong.
During the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, the low-income communities are among the highest risk to develop serious disease if infected with the virus. With social distancing measures in place, they may also suffer higher mental stress and loneliness during the pandemic.
This remote activity allows our class participants to learn to write supportive phrases in traditional Chinese calligraphy, while contributing to a worthy cause for the elderly. Upon registration, a kit will be sent with calligraphy materials like a brush pen and message cards.
Sam of Callisupply will be teaching the class. Chinese writing experience is not required! Once completed, the message cards will be sent back to Clean the World Asia, packed in hygiene kits along with bars of soap, a dental kit, and other hygiene essentials to be distributed to those in need in Hong Kong.
About Clean the World Asia:
Started in 2014 by its parent company Clean the World Global, Clean the World Asia is a Hong Kong-based charity registered under Section 88. The organization’s mission is to protect the environment by recycling soap, and to save millions of lives through handwashing with soap.

By partnering with leading hotels in the region, Clean the World Asia’s soap recycling program also eliminates needless waste from landfills to protect our environment.

潔世亞洲 x 抒發 Zoom 網上慈善活動
10月15日是全球洗手日，設立洗手日是為了提高個人的洗手意識，並推廣洗手對預防疾病和拯救生命的重要性。而今年潔世亞洲正在與本地書法創作單位「抒發」的Sam Chan合作，舉辦一個網上工作坊。以中國書法來宣傳全球洗手日積極的信息。透過網上工作坊，您可以為香港的低收入家庭和長者寫上您的心意。
在冠狀病毒疫情期間，低收入人士因居住環境令他們較容易感染病毒，而社會隔離措施也令他們在冠狀病毒疫情期間倍感壓力與孤獨。而長者因身體較差，感染風險而較高。
網上工作坊可讓參加者學習用傳統中國書法，為香港的低收入家庭和長者送上祝福。有意參加的朋友只需要在網上登記，主辦單位將發送書法套裝，當中包括書法材料的工具包，例如科學毛筆和心意卡。
這次工作坊由「抒發」的Sam老師教授。參加者不需要有任何書法經驗也可參加！心意卡完成後，只需將心意卡寄回潔世亞洲，潔世亞洲的員工會將心意卡包裝在衛生包裏，當中更有香皂、牙刷套裝和其他衛生用品，分發給香港有需要的人士。
關於潔世亞洲：
潔世亞洲是由其母公司潔世於2014年成立，是一間香港註冊的慈善機構。該組織的使命是通過回收香皂達至保護環境的目標，並通過香皂和衛生教育拯救數百萬以上的生命。他們正在引領全球衛生革命，向亞洲及世界各地的貧困兒童和家庭分發香皂和推廣衛生教育。通過與大型酒店合作，潔世亞洲的香皂回收計劃減少了垃圾堆填區中不必要的廢物，從而保護我們的環境。
關於抒發：
抒發為由多屆香港書法大賽冠軍創立。宗旨為：「恪守傳統，文案創新，令書法融入當代生活」 – 望藉舉辦文化體驗 – 體驗傳統美學及心境平靜；透過設計及廣告方案，由商業文案重新思考傳統書法設計定位，重拾書法設計於商業中的價值。
