What a reunion after 16 years! Karen Leung, our YCIS Hong Kong alumna from class of 2003, was one of the first groups of students to go through the tremendous changes Yew Chung had. Recently, she finally had the chance to meet with a former senior management member of ours, Dr Gary Morrison, whom he was the reason for those changes happened in Yew Chung!
From Shanghai to Seoul and now in Hong Kong, Ho Jun has settled in various cities. Through Ho Jun’s story, you will be able to know more about the field of finance and the experience of settling in different cities. He showed us with his very own experience on what it’s like to take new risk and what it takes to achieve our goals!
I have joined this Foundation for more than 6 years now, and feel a strong sense of belonging and shared identity, because I know how difficult it is to find an organization that is so well aligned with my own values. I readily witness how Dr Betty Chan, who is of similar age tomy mother, and Professor Paul Yip, fully devoting their lives to education, which is deeply touching. So naturally, I wondered how I could contribute too?
I studied at YCIS-HKfor 13years, enrolling at age two-and-a-half in Kindergarten and stayed until Form 5 (IGCSE completion), which was our highest grade level back then. Yew Chung, as my dear alma mater, will forever be a part of me, evoking deep emotions. My two sons are now also enrolled at YCIS-HK, in the Early Childhood section, so we are truly a Yew Chung Family.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Drs. Richard Charles and Esther Yewpick Lee Charitable Foundation for providing me with scholarship, which has gone a long way to relieve the financial stress on my family and I, especially my mother. It has not been easy for my mother to support two children on her own. This scholarship has allowed me to concentrate on my studies and be more actively involved in College life without a heavy burden hanging over me.
Celebrating the 2019 YCEF Founder’s Day in joy and laughter, members of the Yew Chung Yew Wah Alumni Advisory Board, together with our alumni from all over the world, sent their good wishes and blessings to their alma mater. We would also like to take this opportunity to introduce the work of the alumni network to our Yew Chung Yew Wah community! Let us celebrate this momentous occasion in unity and send the warmest regards to our schools!
