NEW GUINESS RECORD BEING CONSIDERED FOR CROSSROADS VOLUNTEER.
Lorencio at a 7-11 in Hung Hom
The Guiness book of Records has accepted an application from a Hong Kong university student, Lorencio Mateo, who visited 801 7-11 stores, in 60 days, for Crossroads.
Lorencio battled all forms of public transportation for his marathon and tracked it on a self-made website, http://www.lorencio.us/, featuring photos of himself at each 7-11. All 801 of his photos can be found onsite and will be on display, at Crossroads, for the next month.
Friends supported his adventure, reading his entries and viewing his photos along the way. His original plan was to donate HK$10 for every 7-11 he visited. As word spread, though, others gave financially as well , bringing the sum to $8,000.
The 7-11 retail chain recognized his efforts with a donated Octopus card bearing the 7-11 logo.
Crossroads stands in awe at Lorencio’s extraordinary commitment and stunning originality.
