For four consecutive days, Swire Properties held its 25th anniversary charity bazaar at Swire City Centre, which successfully concluded last Sunday.
Three children from families affected by rare diseases became sachet mentors: Lam Pok-yin, who has Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, Du Xing-shi, who has Chen Tsz-kin, and Chu Yat-long, who has mucopolysaccharidosis. Together with their mother, they taught everyone how to make sachets and showcased the results of their self-reliance.

Long-long was honoured to teach the cycling champion how to make sachets. Long-long's mother met Sarah Lee for the first time and was so excited and moved by her warmth. She expressed great admiration for Sarah's Hong Kong spirit of giving her all and never giving up on the cycling track.
Sarah Lee also praised the sachets, saying they smelled wonderful and that she really liked them.

Long-long's mother said that although she had been very busy for several days, she was very happy to chat with different people. One of the men she spoke with had an intellectual disability, and their conversation brought tears to her eyes. He also came to support them for four consecutive days and praised Long-long for being "very clever" and "speaking very clearly."
elderly friends praised the sachets for being exquisite and joked that she would use them to "hold diamonds and jewellery" in the future; a cat lover shared her tips for raising cats, which resonated deeply with her.

Swire staff from Guangzhou and volunteers from the Development Bureau also purchased souvenirs to show their support and cheer on the families affected by rare diseases.
Thank you to everyone for your kindness and support. We are truly moved and hope to have more opportunities to create more wonderful memories with everyone and spread this warmth in the future!
