    CLP.CONNECT #009 SEP, 2019 Powering Community Development CLP.CONNECT #009 SEP, 2019 Powering Community Development Dear colleagues, It’s been an unsettling summer and a testing time for Hong Kong. It is also very disheartening to see what is going on. Having adopted Hong Kong as my home and lived here for more than 25 years I know what a special place this is. As a parent it’s heartbreaking to see the despair in our city’s young people. But I believe the people of Hong Kong have a strong resilience and I hope the city’s Lion Rock Spirit can pull everyone together through this difficult period. Over more than a century CLP has grown with Hong Kong through thick and thin. We are a proud member of this community and care deeply about our home. That’s why we have made “Caring for the Community” one of CLP’s core values and put a spotlight on our community initiatives in this issue of CLP.CONNECT. The Kadoorie family have been Asia’s philanthropic leaders for generations. Their value has not only helped millions of people, but also inspired CLP to contribute to the communities in which we live and work. The cover story takes you back to the 19th century to look at how the Kadoorie family’s charitable tradition touched many lives in old Hong Kong. This year marks the 25th anniversary of our CLP Volunteer Team in Hong Kong. What started out as a frontline staff-initiated volunteer ▲The CLP Volunteer Team has been serving Hong group providing free rewiring services to underprivileged elderly Kong for 25 years.
