Craft Makers’ Club

Do you enjoy making craft projects and being creative? Do you like helping others? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

At Mother’s Choice, we believe that everyone has a role to play and that everyone can make a difference, including the youngest in our community! We are recruiting enthusiastic students to create craftwork for our children awaiting forever families.

The Craft Makers’ Club is a fun yet rewarding way for students to spend time building, exploring and creating together while also having a positive impact on our community. It also provides support to Mother’s Choice through creative, hands-on projects that celebrate kids’ natural creativity and curiosity, while also being able to learn about the issues that vulnerable children in our community face.

Students will work on two different craft projects – they will create Christmas Cards for children awaiting forever families and Thank You Cards for our supporters.

The projects will kick off with a briefing session (Zoom) held at 4-5pm, Thurs 21^st Nov 2024 / 4:30-5:30pm, Thurs 13^th March 2025 / 4-5pm, Thurs 17^th July 2025. If you are interested, please register here or the button below. All students must join to learn what we do and understand what they need to deliver. All craft handiworks will be mailed to Mother’s Choice at 42B Kennedy Road, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong.

By the end of the project, students will learn new skills and ways of expressing themselves and develop a sense of purpose and fulfillment by making a positive impact in our city.
