Zoom Fundraiser: Clean the World Asia x Callisupply<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Global Handwashing Day was on October 15, a day to raise awareness about the importance of handwashing as a way to prevent diseases and save lives. What better way to spread the word by writing beautiful, positive messages in Chinese Calligraphy for people in need? Clean the World Asia is partnering with Chinese calligrapher Sam Chan of Callisupply<\/a> to curate an online workshop where you can write caring messages for low-income families and elderly in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, the low-income communities are among the highest risk to develop serious disease if infected with the virus. With social distancing measures in place, they may also suffer higher mental stress and loneliness during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This remote activity allows our class participants to learn to write supportive phrases in traditional Chinese calligraphy, while contributing to a worthy cause for the elderly. Upon registration, a kit will be sent with calligraphy materials like a brush pen and message cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam of Callisupply will be teaching the class. Chinese writing experience is not required! Once completed, the message cards will be sent back to Clean the World Asia, packed in hygiene kits along with bars of soap, a dental kit, and other hygiene essentials to be distributed to those in need in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
