Eight in every 10 Hongkongers who make a living by scavenging for discarded cardboard and other waste on the city’s streets are women, and most are above the age of 60, according to the largest study ever of this mostly forgotten group.
We formed a team of 5 including volunteers from United Italian Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited to find these elderlies in the community (Sham Shui Po area).
We gave out mooncakes and grocery vouchers to over 15 cardboard collectors.
