City of Dreams Mediterranean Partners with Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind

As part of Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s collaboration with Hong Kong’s 'We Can Dream Together Foundation', City of Dreams Mediterranean provided a rental free space to the Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind and hosted a pop-up shop selling handicraft created by students at the School for the Blind.

Through the initiative, City of Dreams Mediterranean showcased and sold the handcrafted products in the integrated resort’s lobby, providing a platform for such talented individuals to display their craftsmanship to thousands of foreign and local visitors.

All proceeds from the sale of the collection of handwoven baskets went to the Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind.

The initiative was based on a partnership between Melco Resorts & Entertainment and the “We Can Dream Together Foundation”, whose mission is to help persons with disabilities discover and reach their full potential, bringing hope and a sense of purpose to their lives.

The project entails the undertaking of the “We Can Dream Together Shop”, operated in collaboration with Melco and located in Studio City, one of Melco’s prestigious integrated resorts in Macau.

Property General Manager of City of Dreams Mediterranean Grant Johnson said, "We are privileged to be working with the Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind in this initiative, reflecting our commitment to giving back to the community. It is inspiring to see the creativity and dedication the students put into their work, which we are proud to present at City of Dreams Mediterranean. Through this collaboration with the ‘We Can Dream Together Foundation’, we hope to raise awareness about the talent and capabilities of people with disabilities."

President of the Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind Christakis Nicolaides said, “The Pancyprian Organisation of the Blind expresses its warm thanks and appreciation to the ‘We Can Dream Together Foundation’ and Melco Resorts & Entertainment, which, as a pioneering organisation, took the initiative to showcase and promote the handicrafts made by the students.”
