Hong Kong Toy Bank Recycling Gifts Children's "Up to Standard" Replaceable Toys

The director of the Hong Kong YMCA Tung Chung Centre appeals to parents to follow the example and ask their children to meet the requirements before giving gifts.

Nandu News reporter Wang Yanan sent a gift from Hong Kong for Christmas, which is an ordinary thing for children in Hong Kong. However, some children with a bad family are redeeming their wish toys by completing the "goal". These gifts come from the "Toy Bank" set up by the Hong Kong Social Welfare Institute.

The Hong Kong YMCA Tung Chung Centre has been operating a toy bank since 2009. It collects toys donated by various sectors of the community and then transfers them to children from grassroots families. Children only need to open a account at Toy Bank to establish a personal growth plan. Get the chance to transfer your favorite toys. At present, the center has received about 80% of personal donations. There are about 300 eligible children participating in the Toy Banking Program. They have to work with parents to set goals and accomplish goals such as eating fruits daily, improving behavioral problems, and having more than 60 points on multiple meditations. Only when you reach the goal can you come to the center to receive a toy.

Yesterday was the "Demolition Gift Day". The director of the center, Bao Xiuyi, said that there were nearly 20,000 toys in the warehouse, and the annual turnover of toys was about 16,000. “The toys collected in recent years are getting newer and newer. Near the holiday season, the toy warehouse is closer to full.” However, this also reflects the serious waste of society. She suggested that parents can follow the practice of toy banks and ask their children to reach the target before they can buy gifts so that they can appreciate it.
