Welcome to WYKAAO
As Year 2020 is drawing to a close, the first ever online virtual gathering was held on Tuesday December 22. A better than expected 20+ members from various locations across Canada including Ottawa and Kelowna, B.C. attended. This was a causal meeting where each participant gave an update of his status and any news he would like to share. Due to the success of the event, more online gatherings will be considered in the future perhaps with a different theme in each one of them. Stay tuned!
與大家分享我的一點個人歷史：
我與香港愛德循環運動有不解之緣
Chain of Charity Movement (COCM)
香港愛德循環運動始於大約1976年，由大嶼山天主教熙篤修會莊宗澤神父和幾位熱心的天主教教友，包括劉君雅、盧桂安、林小鳳等發起。
他們有感於世界各地很多人都因為天災人禍而生活於極度艱難的環境，而身在香港的天主教徒，相對地過著十分幸福的生活，因此，他們發起每年在各天主教堂區收集已使用過的聖誕賀咭，把咭面切割出來，重新用人手貼在印有聖誕節祝福語的咭底上，在各堂區發售籌款。每年籌得的善款，不扣除開支，全數捐給一個經大家商討後所選擇，位於香港或外國，有我們認識的天主教徒參與的愛德服務。

James Tong Scholarship at WYK in support of students in need. Please click here to view the Appeal Letter by Principal Chung
Background
James Tong passed away on October 4, 2020. His wife Marita wrote a touching tribute in which she said in lieu of flowers, “James will be very pleased if you do an unexpected act of generosity in his name.” To honour her wish and in the spirit of what James had done all his life, we looked into different options by way of setting up a James Tong fund to help students in Hong Kong. We are pleased that WYK has a “Fr. Kelly Educational Fund Ltd” in place, and under this fund, we can easily set up a Professor James Tong Scholarship for Resilience” (see separate document attached) to help students in need. Recipients of James Tong scholarship, each in the amount of HK$10,000, will be WYK students from S.1 to S.6 who have shown resilience in adversity and displayed satisfactory academic and non-academic performance despite family financial hardship. Under this fund, WYK will report to us each year how many James Tong scholarships are awarded using donations to James Tong Scholarship.
