The quantity was astonishing: 7,000 brand new toys, donated through our Global Hand service by a leading toy manufacturer. NGOs across Hong Kong flooded us with email responses knowing this could be their answer for Christmas provision among the institutions and families on social welfare. We organised a massive distribution out at our Sunny Bay storage facility as the organisations arrived with trucks to distribute them far and wide. One was the Red Cross and this little child in hospital, 1 of the happy 7,000 who benefitted. We love companies that take care to place quality excess in the hands of those for whom it would otherwise prove beyond reach.
