On 13 June 2020, Solerìco hosted its second beach clean-up fundraiser at Sam Pak Wan beach off Discovery Bay. The beach was incredibly dirty when we arrived, but our group of around 20 volunteers did an amazing job getting the beach into much better shape. All the while we raised thousands of HKD for our Himlayan Plastics Project. 

Thank you all!

On 7 September, Solerìco hosted a fantastic beach clean-up at Sam Pak Wan, notorious for being one of Hong Kong's dirtiest beaches. 

We had a great group of 16 volunteers attend, and we ended up filling 16 large bags full of plastic trash which were picked up by the Environment Department. Even better, the money we raised from the tickets to the clean-up went directly to our Nepal Plastics Removal Programme in the Himalayas.

Thanks to all for your support!

Cait, Jack and our board member Martine Vanasse, presented Solerico and our Nepal Clean Irrigation Initiative to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong in June 2018.

"It’s a match – senior managers at Hong Kong banks ‘speed date’ to find volunteering opportunities

Skills-based secondments an opportunity to lend a helping hand – and learn on the job. 

Speed dating is not something you would expect three senior Hong Kong-based managers at large international investment banks to fit into their work schedule. But to find a suitable charity or non-governmental organisation for them to volunteer their time and skills with, it was worth the effort, they said."
