李嘉誠基金會推出「香港仁愛香港」公益行動，啟動首個活動「Love Ideas ♥ HK集思公益計劃」，旨在凝聚全港市民愛心，齊來創造一個處處有關懷，人人樂助的社會。「Love Ideas ♥ HK集思公益計劃」是一個網上平台，歡迎全港市民提交具創意的愛心項目；與此同時，期望市民在網上踴躍投票，支持他們認為最具意義的項目。獲得最多選票的愛心項目將由基金會撥款資助推行，讓獲選的項目得以實踐，一起建設更美好的社區。
香港智營創立短短半年之內，能在數千個申請項目中脫穎而出，實在感到非常榮幸，也因爲我們的青年培訓項目得到社會的認同深感欣慰。未來的一年，我們將再在活動加入更多的元素，並且擴大我們服務的對象，以表達對大家的謝意。
The Envision Hong Kong’s four projects have all been selected in "Love Ideas ♥ HK" of Li Ka Shing Foundation. The organization was established by the alumni of the University of Hong Kong to engage young professionals in youth development activities. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all members who have given greatest support to us.
“Love Ideas ♥ HK” is the first programme of “Love HK Your Way!”, a public philanthropic campaign initiated by the Li Ka Shing Foundation (LKSF) to engage Hong Kong citizens in a united effort to improve our community. Through an online platform - www.loveideas.hk – Hong Kong residents can submit innovative and creative ideas or vote for projects that encourage compassion and improve the lives of those who live in our community. Projects receiving the most votes will be awarded grants by the LKSF to carry out their plans of making Hong Kong a better place to live, learn, and grow. With this first programme, “Love Ideas ♥ HK”, the larger “Love HK Your Way!” campaign issues a call to arms for everyone in Hong Kong to come together and make a difference through the combined powers of technology, charity, and community awareness.
With less than half year history, it is our great honor for the Envision Hong Kong to be able to stand out in thousands of applications for this award. We feel so proud that our youth empowerment programs can be recognized by the society. In 2011, we'll continue to improve our programs by adding more new elements and expanding our services to more youth.
