On the joyous Mid-Autumn Festival, as you enjoy the moon with your family in a park, have you thought of those elderly people living alone? This Mid-Autumn Festival, you and I can both make it more meaningful! When you purchase a box of “CUHK Mooncake”, a mooncake will be delivered to the solitary elderly, letting love spread to people in need.

The University has joined hands with Caritas La Vie, a local social enterprise which provides job opportunities for the mentally disabled through its baking workshop, to produce “CUHK Mooncake”. This year, we have specially invited Professor Ng Yuet-lau, the renowned Lingnan School painter and Honorary Fellow of CUHK, the renowned Lingnan School painter and Honorary Fellow of CUHK, to contribute exquisite ink paintings to portray university’s spectacular views in the packaging box.

Each box is sold at HK$300 and includes four low sugar white lotus seed paste mooncakes with double egg yolks. Each contains 10.8 grams of sugar only. For each box sold, CUHK will deliver a free mooncake to the elderly living alone in Shatin and Tai Po. Proceeds from the mooncake sales will be donated to CUHK 60A University Development Fund.

You are also welcome to join CUHK·Care Service Team to visit the elderly with CUHK Mooncake before the Mid-Autumn Festival. CUHK·Care Service Team will work with charity organizations at Shatin and Taipo to organize a number of visits to the elderly. Please click here for details.
