Steven Sze, general manager Herbalife Hong Kong, says, "We want to send out a strong message that our commitment towards nutrition isn't just limited to our customers. We want children to also understand the importance of good nutrition and be able to enjoy good nutrition which is vital for their development. Keeping this in mind, we knew that providing children in need with proper, nutritious food will go a long way in promoting healthy growth and development. We are glad to be able to participate in such a purposeful act of giving, which is an integral part of our corporate social responsibility."
Bridget Yu, Principal Social Services Secretary (Family, Child Care, Children and Youth) of Po Leung Kuk, said, "Po Leung Kuk places a strong emphasis on nurturing children. We are thankful to have Herbalife supporting us in the past nine years. With the dedicated efforts of our Children and Youth Services, the Community Nutrition Program will enable unprivileged children to enjoy nutritious food and also understand the importance of it. Good nutrition is the key to establishing a healthy lifestyle in early childhood. We are grateful for the continuous support by Herbalife."
