【AEON "Happy Yellow Receipt" Campaign】

For the first time, The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) participated in the "Happy Yellow Receipt" campaign in collaboration with AEON Stores Hong Kong. Held on the 11th of every month from August 2023 to January 2024, customers could drop their yellow shopping receipts into the charity’s designated box. AEON would donate 1% of the receipt amount to the corresponding organization.

We are honored to be one of the beneficiaries of this campaign. The AEON vouchers raised will be fully allocated to the "BGCA Resource Bank," funding meaningful parent-child activities for low-income families and providing simple cooking experiences for kindergarten children.

To prepare a surprise Father’s Day gift, several children aged 4 to 5 from BGCA’s "SMILE" On-site Pre-school Integrated Service embarked on a solo shopping trip to the supermarket, without their parents! They selected gifts, purchased ingredients, and even wrapped presents and made snacks.  

When parents received these unique gifts, their faces lit up with joy. The biggest surprise was witnessing how the children independently completed each task, marking a significant step in their development! Many fathers were deeply touched, remarking, "Our children’s abilities far exceeded our expectations," and "We hadn’t realised they paid such close attention to our preferences."  

Supermarket shopping serves as an excellent social adaptation exercise, enriching children’s life experiences while enhancing their cognitive and community skills. Through interactions with cashiers and the checkout process, children gain real-world exposure to community environments, improving their language and social abilities. Meanwhile, preparing snacks and wrapping gifts aids in developing fine motor skills and provides a valuable opportunity for emotional expression.  

Special thanks to AEON for donating vouchers through the "Happy Yellow Receipt Campaign," making this event possible. We are delighted to see all participating families gain meaningful experiences. On this heartwarming occasion, we wish everyone a Happy Father’s Day!
