MAKE TIME FOR GIVING: WATCH DESIGN CAMPAIGN

Memorable, beautiful and designed by students: this sponsored and created initiative by FIF urges people to make time for giving.

Chairman Michelle Ong drew upon her wealth of jewellery designing experience to mentor students at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Department of Design (HKPU).

Students created two beautiful and intricate watch designs, branded with First Initiative Foundation (FIF), to be sold to the public in a variety of retail outlets. All proceeds went towards FIF Design Scholarships at HKPU.

It’s time to support our community talent.
