Detailed description
Sports Day for All - A new Guinness World Record of The Longest Handshake Chain was created by Rotarians and their family members of District 3450, Rotary Adopt A School students, teachers and the visually challenged members of Hong Kong Blind Sports Federation in this first ever territory-wide event. All funds raised were used to cover all the costs for “Sports Day for All” with surplus HK$152,000 to be used to support the blind sports programs of Hong Kong Blind Sports Federation. We promoted public awareness to students on the needs and abilities of the people with visual loss in sports training and competitions; the visually challenged regained their self-confidence through the participation and the success in sports competitions. 4700 people including over 1400 from Rotary family and 1200 from volunteer helpers. Totally 3,434 people with and without visual impairment jointly created Guinness World Record for the Longest Handshake Chain so as to build a harmonious society.
