Further to my earlier appeal to you for recruitment of tutors to start an online oral English program for under-privileged students in TSW, I am pleased to inform you that the program has just started with 10 tutors and 60 Forms 5 and 6 students coming from five TSW secondary schools. Each tutor takes care of four students and provides them with a one-hour group lesson each week. Some tutors serve more groups of students and offer more lessons. Lessons are conducted in a discussion format similar to oral exam. situation and are to continue until mid-May 2017 when the DSE oral exam. is over.
From Fr. Stephen Chow,
“I would like to take this opportunity to affirm the good project at Tin Shui Wai (TSW). As a Jesuit and the School Supervisor, I am proud of Daniel Mak and his team to offer their selfless services to the students at TSW, who do not enjoy as much support and attention as our Wahyanites here. And I am delighted to see that their efforts are being affirmed by the increasing requests for their services. They are, indeed, realizing their vocation as Men for and with Others. But the increasing need is calling for more generous alumni to help out.
(September 18) 2016 Terry Fox Run was again held on a weather-perfect Sunday morning. Team WYKAAO participated in the favourite run site of Markham-Unionville and had raised over $4,300 for the worthy cause, thanks to all our generous donors and supporters. Click here to see more pictures.
WYKAAO will once again participate in the Terry Fox Run this year (Sunday, Sept 18). The run site chosen is our favourite Markham-Unionville location, a major part of the route inside the Toogood Pond Park with breath-taking scenery (1km-route map, 5/10km-route map).
For a number of years, we have been proudly supporting The Terry Fox Foundation in its ongoing work to fund innovative and progressive cancer research programs. Please support our team by joining, or making a donation. Your kindness will impact the lives of so many people living with cancer.
