Encouraging resilience: the Felix Wong award
Dr. Rosanna Wong with the Felix Wong award winners  

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
