About WYK
(Updated 2013-02-08)
Greetings from the Foundation! We are very pleased to report to you that this year we had gathered 333 members in the Team, the biggest ever in the Marathon history of Wah Yan. We have also received a sum of $500,000 as donations thus far. Since we had committed to appropriate HK$1 million to the two Wah Yan Colleges to support their sport development in the next three years, we appeal to you to seek further support from your friends and peers to help us achieve this goal. Every cent counts.
Later on we will collect your official runner’s kit from the Marathon Organiser, thus please attend the final training clinic as below:
Saturday, 16 February 2013
School Hall, Wah Yan College, Kowloon
* 1 – 3pm training and distribution of runner’s kit and team tee
* 3-4pm games and running tips by adidas Hong Kong
* 4pm team photo
All runners should attend this session to collect their runners’ kit, without which runners cannot attend the Race on 24 February 2013. Anyone who cannot attend could only pick it up from the School office, Wah Yan College Kowloon during office hours. Should you need further info please contact Edward Yeung on 9167 9962 or Chris Li on 9803 9691. Again thank you for your support and wishing you a fruitful and happy Year of the Snake!
Best wishes,
Marathon 2013 Organising Committee

2011年魏志立神父( Fr Naylor, S.J. )八十榮壽之際,一群華仁兒童會舊導師基於對神父由衷的敬重,以及昔日美好的緬懷,產生了出版此書的構想。
經過來自不同世代的舊導師整整一年的努力,訪談、撰稿、徵稿、以及整理失落多年的資料,此書終於面世。我們謹以此書獻給付出無私大愛的魏志立神父,感謝他大半生貢獻予香港教育和保護幼小的工作。令我們感動的是他永遠躲在大光燈後,默默耕耘,不領功,不自誇,在過去的半世紀一直堅守信念,讓年青一代擁有自由空間,獨立思維,在自我批判與修正的循環中成長。
當然,此書也獻給在華仁兒童會三十年歲月中曾參與服務的三百多位導師,藉此大家可以把失落多年的回憶碎片,好好拼整起來,描繪出昔日的青春。
