INSPIRING GIRLS LAUNCHES IN HONG KONG
EATON HOTEL’S COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE
As a renowned international organisation, Inspiring Girls is dedicated to raising and broadening career aspirations for young females. The charity currently operates across 20 countries worldwide with Hong Kong being its latest addition. On a mission to empower girls aged 6-18 the charity has partnered with five schools across Hong Kong including French International School, to connect students with female role models from a variety of vocations and careers.
Named The Good Deed Tree, Eaton Hotel has extended an open invitation to participate in the creation of the hotel’s upcycled tree. Hongkongers can donate any green items up to 50x50cm, which will be stacked to create an environmentally friendly tree that will be further upcycled after that new year. Sturdy green items like old luggage, books and empty tea tins will be used in the making of the tree.
