Presented by the Foundation together with The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong, Youth ImpACT Award (“YIAA”) will celebrate the innovative ideas and service achievements of 10 amazing teams of secondary school students at the Final Ceremony 2017-18 officiated by Dr. Choi Yuk Lin, JP, Under Secretary for Education, Education Bureau, Government of HKSAR. The 10 finalists were selected from more than 300 teams of students back in May 2018 and subsequently, spent their summer prototyping their pioneering service projects for disadvantaged children, senior citizens and people with disabilities. From using technology to solve daily commute problems of visually impaired people, researching on the benefits and drawbacks of Student Learning Profile, to engaging elderly people who used to be tailors to customize clothing for abandoned animals, the service projects all offered valuable learning opportunities to the finalists who will share how they have used their talents and skills to drive good.
Details of the Final Ceremony are as follows:
Date: Oct 6, 2018 (Sat)
Time: 2:30-5:30pm
Venue: Jockey Club Convention Hall, Hong Kong Red Cross Headquarters
We look forward to your support and the creative ideas from these committed and passionate young people!
