In our humble beginning, we were producing merely 20 meal boxes a day. And through five years of solid work, we have undergone a remarkable growth into an organization of over 100 staff, which collects 4,000kg of surplus food, and produces and distributes meal boxes to over 6,000 recipients through 130 partner organizations daily. We are grateful to be in a role to serve our community, and for the friendships and many partnerships we have built along the way—generous donors of food and funds, devoted volunteers, and dependable partners, all of whom have contributed tremendously to making Food Angel what we are today. For this, we would like to extend our deep gratitude to our donors, volunteers, and partners. Our Food Station will commence operation in the fourth quarter of 2016. Located in Lai Chi Kok, Food Station will serve as the centralized site for food collection, processing, and storage, as well as food pack production. By streamlining our operation, we expect to enhance space and time allocation at our two central kitchens and to enhance both their capacity and production quality. We will also rent an extra floor at Fung Sing Building to set up a “Food Angel Experience Centre”, to be opened in 2017. At this Centre, the public will learn about the importance of cherishing food and caring for the needy. We shall continue with our three proned mission of food rescue, food assistance, and education. We invite all of you to join us in realizing our goal, “Waste Not, Hunger Not, With Love”. Mr. Antony Leung Chairman, Bo Charity Foundation 惜食堂年報 Food Angel Annual Report 2015-2016 1 食物回收計劃 Food Rescue Program 2011 惜食堂是小寶慈善基金於 年展開的食物回收及援助計劃,宗旨為 「停止浪費、解決飢餓、以愛相連」。 團隊致力向本地飲食界回收仍可安全食用之剩餘食物,分別送往位於 柴灣及深水埗的中央廚房,通過嚴格的食物安檢程序,將食物烹煮製成 營養均衡及充滿愛心的熱飯餐及食物包,最後由物流團隊免費派發給 社會上有需要食物援助的人士。 6,000 惜食堂每日生產約 個熱飯餐(內含蔬菜、肉╱海鮮和五穀)及 21,000 食物包,要達到這目標,我們平均每日需回收到約 棵菜心 8 600 4,000 1,200 (或相等份量的菜蔬)、 隻豬或 隻雞或 條魚及 公斤白米。 食物捐贈伙伴對我們的幫助及支持至為重要。 Food Angel is a food rescue and food assistance program launched in 2011 by Bo Charity Foundation with the mission of “Waste Not, Hunger Not, With Love”. The program rescues edible surplus food from different sectors of the food industry that would otherwise be disposed of as waste. Following strict safety protocols, the rescued food items will then be prepared as nutritious hot meals in our central kitchen and be redistributed to serve the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong. Food Angel prepares around 6,000 hot meals (standardised with vegetables, meat/ seafood, and grains) and food packs a day. That requires an average of 21,000 choy sum, (or an equivalent amount of vegetables), 8 pigs or 600 chickens or 4,000 fish, and 1,200kg of rice. As you can see, support from our food donors is most important to our operation. 麵包回收 Bread Rescue 在回收麵包方面,「愛包行動」計劃連結義工及本地的麵包店攜手 合作,將未出售的新鮮麵包直接運送到鄰近的社會服務機構,供受 惠者翌日享用。 As for our bread rescue initiative, volunteers from our Bread Angel Program collect unsold products from bakeries at their closing time and deliver them directly to our beneficiary organizations for their consumption on the following day. 2 惜食堂年報 Food Angel Annual Report 2015-2016 Although we are only running a small-scale pork stall here, there are always surplus stocks at the end of the day.

Hotel Integration was one of the principal components in the delivery of a Problem-Based Learning program entitled “Human Resources Management (HRM) in the Tourism and Hotel Industry.” Qualitative analysis The design and implementation focused on promoting student-centered learning. Data were Human Resources Management collected from students, teachers and HR staff, and qualitative analysis undertaken to identify Hospitality and Tourism Education similarities and differences in their views. The paper presents dendrograms representing these views and discusses participants' experiences of the project. In the analysis, feedback was classified into four categories; Planning, Implementation and Management of the Project, Project Evaluation; and Consideration and Improvement of Future Learning Activities.

  • Hotel Icon Sets New Design Standards
    HOTEL ICON SETS NEW DESIGN STANDARDS Celebrated Hong Kong Designers Collaborate on Landmark Project Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui East, Hotel ICON is a testament to the creativity of Hong Kong designers. Celebrated local architects and artists, including Rocco Yim, William Lim and Barney Cheng, collaborated on the project. The innovative designs reveal the breadth of their talent and reflect the cultural heart of the city, making Hotel ICON a true Hong Kong landmark. A premier hotel, Hotel ICON also operates as a research and training facility for the esteemed School and Hotel of Tourism Management (SHTM). Rocco Yim, co- founder of Rocco Design Architects Ltd, designed Hotel ICON and had the added challenge of integrating the School’s academic facilities and faculty members’ residences into the design. His objective was to create a cohesive, unified design that could cater to the functional needs of both the SHTM and the Hotel and allow the two to retain operational independence. To take advantage of the harbourside location, Rocco used an all-glass exterior, allowing an abundance of natural light and offering guests spectacular views of Victoria Harbour. For Hotel ICON interiors, William Lim, Managing Director of CL3 Architects Ltd, explores the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. Using circular themes and motifs, William brings a sense of space and harmony to the interiors. The twirling staircase and circular seating in the lobby evoke a mood of fluidity and contemporary elegance. Mixing modern trends with traditional elements, William adds cultural touchstones to his design. The elaborate handcrafted iron gates flanking the lobby’s Green café, for example, pay tribute to a fading artform, as well as Hong Kong’s architectural traditions.

That enduring achievement is evidenced recently by the School’s world No. 1 rankings in both the Hospitality and Tourism Management category of ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2017 and the Hospitality, Leisure, Sport & Tourism subject area of the CWUR Rankings by Subject 2017.
