HONG KONG, Jan. 16, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At City Telecom (HK) Limited (HKSE:1137) (Nasdaq:CTEL), we take an active role in engaging our local community. Since 2007, we have invited the Hong Kong Red Cross to our office for a blood drive every six months. So far, we have accumulated about 314 Liters of Blood (assuming 350 ml per donation) and saved 3,584 lives (assuming 4 lives per donation)! This session, we had recorded 84 colleagues step up for our Gift of Life blood donation event.
Mimi Choy, Director of Talent Management said, "Recently, there is persistently high demand and short supply of blood in our local hospitals. We believe that every one of our Talents can help save a life, which is why we have a tradition of organizing blood donation every six months. To make the event more fun, we prepared an exclusive coupon for our donors to redeem a free meal in our Free Zone canteen. Furthermore, Talents who donate blood get to proudly sport a sticker with the message 'I've just saved 4 lives!'"
