JCI North District launches campaign to integrate NFT into charity

Junior Chamber International North District (JCI North District) has launched the "Walk with care" campaign, to raise funds from NFTs created from primary and secondary school students’ paintings. With the collaboration of Christian Action Training Services and Jockey Club Cheung Wah Youth S.P.O.T. of Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, paintings from local and ethnic minority students can be transformed into NFTs for fundraising materials via local economic digital platform “Popsible”.

The event also invited Mina Cheng and Jeffrey Andrews, winners of Ten Outstanding Young Persons Election in 2019 as ambassadors.The launch of the campaign aims to gather relevant resources and materials needed for grass-roots families under the pandemic, as well as helping them to achieve their goals through a variety of activities including organising a volunteer team to deliver supplies to staffs at nursing homes that are in urgent need; designing a wish list to help grassroot families express their wishes, contacting interested parties to purchase the NFTs produced by youths.

The closing ceremony of the campaign will be held on 23 July 2022 in the atrium of Citywalk II, participants could showcase their work at the occasion.

Chan Chun, JCI North District’s president, said: “The campaign integrated the concept of NFT into charity to help grassroots to achieve their wishes via their own work. It has played an important role in promoting the popularisation of new technologies and created a precedent for social services. We hope enterprises would purchase the NFT made by the students and make their dreams come true, as well as influencing life to achieve the objective of the campaign.”

Sam Ngan, CEO of Popsible, said: “It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. We create caring NFT solutions especially for charitable organisations, and launch NFTs for the integration of reality and virtuality for local and ethnic minority primary and secondary school students, helping them to pursue their dreams, while allowing more people to experience the metaverse world.”
