During the year, we joined Youth Outreach to launch the Adventure-Based Counselling (“ABC”) project — Melco Youth Outreach – Leadership for Life — which enabled 150 deprived youths to know more about ABC over a 10-month period. Some of the participants acquired professional ABC qualifications, and 900 young people learned positive life values.
