The Li Ka Shing Foundation has teamed up with The Walt Disney Company to provide 24,000 foreign domestic helpers with complimentary tickets to view Toy Story 5, marking a significant collaboration aimed at supporting Hong Kong's migrant workers. This initiative, spearheaded by the charitable foundation established by the influential Li Ka-shing, will see screenings of the latest animated film held across six cinemas in Hong Kong over four consecutive Sundays in August.
Attendees will enjoy complimentary popcorn, beverages, and a Hong Kong Disneyland souvenir. Registration for the screenings, which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, will commence at 9pm on Wednesday via the Klook online ticketing platform.
This year's program expands on previous years, with the foundation noting that over the past three years, they have successfully hosted around 13,000 domestic helpers at Hong Kong Disneyland. For 2023, Disney has taken a substantial step forward, ensuring that thousands more helpers can partake in the festivities. The foundation expressed gratitude to Enrich HK, Mission for Migrant Workers, and the Indonesian Migrant Workers’ Union for their contributions in arranging this event.
In a similar vein, the foundation and Disney previously orchestrated a program in the earlier part of the year that allowed 5,000 domestic helpers to visit Hong Kong Disneyland. This expanded effort extended its reach to include workers from various nationalities beyond the Philippines, such as Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Thailand.
The perk package for each participant included a one-day admission ticket to the park located on Lantau Island, vouchers for two full meals and a special snack, and a transport Octopus card with a total value exceeding HK$1,000 (approximately US$128). Comparatively, last year's initiative offered a one-day park entry, a HK$80 transport allowance credited to the participant's Octopus card, and meal vouchers valued at HK$365.
