00:00Today's opportunity is basically food packing.
00:11What we've done is we've purchased all the raw materials, all the basic food items, we've
00:17contacted two charities in the UAE.
00:19One of them is called Beit Al Kheir and one is at Ihsan Charity Association.
00:24Each one of them has listed to us what they want to offer the underprivileged and needy
00:30families.
00:31We buy them and then our volunteers basically package them into the boxes that these families
00:36will receive.
00:37These boxes have everything from flour, sugar, rice, salt, cooking oil, some lentils, canned
00:46goods, milk and so on.
00:48This is an ongoing activity for HSBC.
00:51We do this every year and we already have funds allocated for the next five years as
00:57well.
00:58This specific activity allows all our staff to be able to feel that they're connected
01:03to the community.
01:04Well, I've been volunteering for a couple of years now.
01:05I do it because I feel that's a good opportunity given to us, not only as employees, but also
01:18as other contributors to the community that we're living in.
01:22Well, it's a lovely thing for the children to learn how to give back to the community
01:25and to start at a small age.
01:28Like they say, charity doesn't only begin outside, but at home as well, and I think
01:31this is a great opportunity for children to take part in the society.
01:35I'm here for a good cause.
01:36I would like to help those people out there who don't have the funds to buy all this.
01:44So we're literally helping them to achieve all this so that they lead a better life and
01:48they can remain healthy.
01:49We're doing it for a good cause.
01:50So obviously someone's going to benefit from this and it's a good thing.
01:51I feel very overwhelmed and especially that this whole event is to do with Ramadan and
01:52it's a religious event.
01:53Ramadan is all about doing good things and giving back to the community itself and helping
01:54needy families.
01:55It's a good thing.
01:56I feel very overwhelmed and especially that this whole event is to do with Ramadan and

02:35I would recommend everyone to contribute in a way or another because remembering 5 years
02:36ago we used to have only a handful number of people to contribute and I think if they
02:37just give it a try it will make them feel good when they see it themselves that at least
02:38they did something to this community.
02:39There's a lot of people that require help so if we can't do it then who else is going
02:40to do it.
02:41It's all for a good cause.
02:42I hope people have it in their hearts to help people.
