Macao, 28 August 2013 – Hoping to spread love and joy among some of the less fortunate youngsters of Macau’s community, CESL Asia Group and its Social Investment Team members joined hands with 80 kids from local child care institutions and spent a cheerful morning at the Galaxy Cinemas. On August 28th, the animated comedy movie “Despicable Me 2” delighted the excited crowd, with laughter and happiness filling everyone’s heart.

Most of these children either do not have family, or are neglected by their parents who often “don’t have time” to give them proper care and attention, and so have come to child care institutions. For the 3rd consecutive year, CESL Asia has been holding its Kids Movie Day, hoping to give some of these children an opportunity to spend an unforgettable day outside the child care centers. At this year’s event, we invited a group of 80 lively children, from three different organizations: Caritas Macau, Cradle of Hope Association and Kin Wa Single Parent Families Mutual Support Center.

To the great joy of the kids, CESL Asia prepared thoughtful gift packages for each of the kids, containing food and drinks, stationeries and Hello Kitty plush toys, with some items generously sponsored by McDonald’s Macau. Up to now, through the Kids Movie Day, CESL Asia has brought over 230 children to Macau cinemas, with the involvement and participation of 30 members of the company’s Social Investment Team. We were able to provide a meaningful and unforgettable summer morning to our young friends, and at the same time improve our staff’s understanding, leadership and communication skills with the communities served by our company.

CESL Asia, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is committed to enriching its staff’s knowledge, service skills and personal traits, inspiring a close relationship with the communities it serves and encouraging its employees to be active in seeking interaction. Our company desires to contribute to growing a better and more integrated society in Macau.

To fund these activities, each year the company grants a portion of its revenue and, in partnership with and additional contributions from its team members and other likeminded organizations, provides valuable resources in support of the objectives established in the Social Investment Program.

Macau, 2 May 2013 – CESL Asia Investments & Services Limited is celebrating this year its 25th anniversary, a significant accomplishment that the company wishes to make meaningful by promoting several initiatives to distinguish the remarkable achievements of the company’s team in the past 25 years.

In this occasion of the CESL Asia’s Staff Card launch, the President and CEO of CESL Asia, Mr. Antonio Trindade announced; “We wanted to do more and better and provide a wider range of fringe benefits to our staff. We knew that we had to be creative and persuasive to find partners to make this multipurpose card distinctive from what is already commonly offered by other employers and by other credit cards available in the market. We knocked on several doors, discussed several options and, after months of joint work, CESL Asia and BNU are now offering this card to CESL Asia staff. This is a Staff Card that doubles as a Credit Card and will offer a range of benefits that are not universally accessible to our staff.”

“We are creating the best solution available to us to compete in the market where larger employers are able to offer attractive discounts on services that such companies already market as part of their business. We are loading this card not only with very attractive credit facilities and other financial services provided by BNU, but also with the best offers and discounts from local suppliers of services and products that our staff will require when looking for a loan to finance a family investment or when doing their purchases for useful things of everyday life”, added CESL Asia’s CEO.  

Furthermore, in keeping with their established credentials as farsighted and caring companies, BNU offered to donate a proportion of the income generated from the card sales to CESL Asia Social Investment Fund (CSI). “These amounts will be invested in projects related with the youth, the poor and the needy in Macau and on this basis we can work together to foster social development,” Mr. Antonio Trindade explained.
