More Information

Isn't it a pity to throw away your umbrella just because of minor damages after use under strong wind and heavy rain? You might have some umbrellas that can be reused if they are repaired. Why not learn the skills and repair them yourself?

 

We are pleased that the Green Team has invited Mr. Joseph Kam, Founder and Chief Instructor of "Umbrella Reborn", to lead a workshop for us. He is very experienced and has organized 60+ workshops and trained over 2,000+ people to repair umbrellas. In different media interviews, he also shared about giving a second life to umbrellas. In HKUST we have organized two workshops already which trained about 80 staff and students.
