Love @ Po Leung Kuk

Toys play an important role in child’s growth. With a deluge of toys pile up at home, it is not surprising that kids tend to be attracted to novelty. Therefore, Po Leung Kuk sets up the “Mobile Toy Library”, which visits the public housing estates in Hong Kong and provides free toys and books lending service to children. The service prolongs the life span of toys, and let children learn to cherish. 

The Mobile Toy Library offers over a hundred of toys, including educational games such as chess or solitaire, fitness toys like strider bikes or scooters, Barbie dolls, LEGO, 3D English books, audio books and English picture books. Children aged 13 or below can register as members and borrow any toys or books for two weeks each time by using their membership cards, they can also enjoy the lending service again after returning the borrowed items on their next visit.   

Ms Dorothy Wong, responsible person of the project and Centre in Charge of Po Leung Kuk Cheung Hong Youth Development Centre, stated that the Mobile Toy Library aims to support children from low-income families, as the family economic constraints limit children of disadvantaged groups to obtain the appropriate toys for their growth and development. Through spreading the joy of sharing toys among different districts, Po Leung Kuk also hopes that the service would let children learn to treasure what they possess and arouse their environmental awareness. The Mobile Toy Library welcomes parents and children to donate excess toys, excluding any plush dolls, broken or damaged items. Collected toys after screening and disinfection will be donated or borrowed to members in need.
