Sowers Action Challenging 12 Hours (苗圃挑戰12小時) aims at fund-raising for the underprivileged children, orphans in Mainland China.
This year, we have 19 staff and their family members to take part in 12km, 26km or 53km marathon on Oct 22, 2017. It started from Shing Mun Reservoir (城門水塘主壩) to Hong Kong Teachers’ Association Lee Heng Kwei Secondary School (香港教師會李興貴中學) .
Million Tech has been continuously sponsoring the charity activities organised by Sowers Action and encouraging our staff to support the people in need for more than 10 years, we hope more and more children in Mainland China can be helped.
