Knit a Yak Program 2009 (Hong Kong)

Event launch

To ride on the lunar year of the ox, Shokay aims to raise public awareness towards the issue of singleton elderly through a community knitting campaign launched in the East District, where lives the largest elderly population including singleton elderly (according to census in 2006, 111,400 elderly were recorded in the district, occupying 13.9% of the total).  In this community campaign, elderly volunteers are recruited to knit scarf / hat for the singleton elderly in the district.  Shokay will be providing all yak yarn used in the knitting campaign.

 

Through the knitting campaign, Shokay hopes to empower elderly volunteer knitters to make contribution to the community they are living in and to help build up a caring neighbourhood together.
