Experience an extraordinary Christmas Bazaar
FSES will host its first Christmas Market from December 11th to 12th for two consecutive days. There will be over 10 social enterprise booths covering a wide range of goods and services at the market. As such, Furry Green transforms leftovers from grocery stores into pet food, Wedo Global has collaborated with a group of ethnic minorities as sewing Ambassador in producing stylish mask and head sets, Hair Rejuvenation Clinic who hires hearing impaired and offers herbal hair treatment products, and Green Ladies & Green Little sells quality second-hand clothing. FSES strongly encourages consumers to shift one-tenth of their expenditures towards consumption at social enterprises as it is one of the ways to fulfil their social responsibility. This will make the Christmas season more meaningful! What’s a better place for families to celebrate Christmas, come join us at the Shop Social Christmas Bazaar!
TECM’s 10th ambassador, Ms Kelly Chen, assisted in setting up the market in person, and casted in a short film for the SE Christmas Market.
