Team WYKAAO played some very respectable matches in the New Horizon Lions Club Charity Table Tennis Tournament on Sunday May 27 at My Table Tennis Club. Our team came second in group round robins, lost in the quarter final to the number one seeded team (that went on to capture the first runner-up of the tournament in Community Category). Salute to the team members for their great effort!

Message from Daniel Mak (WYHK '71), Project Co-ordinator,
"Thanks to the support of both WYPSAs and Wah Yan alumni, our free English tutorial project in TSW (天水圍) has progressed well and coming Feb. 2018, we shall start our 7th intake of under-privileged students in TSW and 2nd intake of ethnic minority students in Tuen Mun for our onsite tutorial program. We are now recruiting new tutors from the WY community to fill vacancies left behind by those serving alumni who want to take a break.
Since the start of our project in 2015, over 700 under-privileged students have benefited from our service and nearly 60 alumni have helped out. The continuous success of our project depends on our ability to come up with sufficient volunteer tutors who are willing to sacrifice a few hours of their free time every week for ten weeks to help the needy and, at the same time, uphold the ‘Men for and with Others’ spirit they have inherited from their Jesuit education. Details of our onsite program and the role of tutors are in the link below;
