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;

"Thank YOU for making the 37th Annual Terry Fox Run a great success!
Could we have asked for a more beautiful day for our wonderful supporters to participate in the Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research?
Your involvement and the leadership of Team WYKAAO have inspired both your teammates and all your friends at The Terry Fox Foundation! As a grassroots organization, we rely 100% on the efforts of dedicated individuals like you whose efforts keep Terry’s dream alive. This past year alone, Terry Fox funding exceeded $10 million for cancer research in Ontario. Your involvement this year will help ensure many vital projects continue to receive funding in the years to come – and for this we cannot thank you enough.
We hope you feel as proud as we do on this incredible day. Your involvement this year will give patients hope for a healthy future.
Ultimately, that is Terry’s legacy, a legacy of hope.
With sincere gratitude."
WYKAAO thanks our members and friends for their strong support to raise $5,165 to TheTerry Fox Foundation.
