Wynn Takes Initiative to Support "Global Handwashing Day"
WE volunteers visit local school to encourage children on good hygiene habits
 
Macau, November 19, 2019 In support of the annual "Global Handwashing Day", about 100 WE (Wynn Employees) volunteers joined representatives from Clean the World Asia (CTW) and the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) to promote proper handwashing techniques with over 100 children at Saint John De Brito School and Escola Tong Sin Tong (Kindergarten).
 
Apart from demonstrating the proper handwashing steps, WE volunteers also shared their hygiene knowledge with the children through mini drama performances and interactive quizzes, raising their understanding of good personal hygiene habits. Afterwards, representatives of CTW presented certificates of appreciation to Wynn and the supporting organizations and participating schools, while guests of the event and WE volunteers distributed gift packs to the children. These contained a pack of fine watercolor markers from Wynn and a bar of recycled soap provided by CTW, in order to encourage children to wash their hands more frequently.
