Encouraging
resilience: the Felix Wong award |
|
|
Imagine being a 15-year old with a brain
tumour, a 17-year old dropout who has been a gang member
since he was in primary school, or a 19-year-old who can
neither walk or write. For most of us it's hard to put
ourselves in their shoes. Now, especially at exam time,
imagine the hurdles they have to overcome to tackle Hong
Kong's exams system. |
The Federation seeks out youngsters like this who have prevailed
against the odds. We think they need all the support and encouragement
they we give. The Felix Wong Youth Improvement Scheme gives
them recognition and supportive reinforcement. They really
know what it's like to struggle and can act as role models
for others, privileged and underprivileged. They've had an
uphill battle just to stay at school. Their attitude shows
others more fortunate how to take exams, and life, in their
stride.
See this week's Feature Story, below, for an interview
with two of the award winners. For more information about
the scheme, contact Siu-man, tel 2788 3433
