Shoutout to Grade 12 Alfred for his nomination for the SCMP Student of the Year Awards in the prestigious “Community Contributor Category”. Alfred was recognized as a finalist and received the Merit Award at the recent ceremony! We are very proud of his inspiring participation and impact on our community. Alfred shares:
“I have been volunteering since primary school. When I joined ˴Ƭ in Grade 9, I was introduced to HandsOn Hong Kong, a major non-profit organization, where I started by participating in bread runs and repairing second-hand electronics for those in need. Last year, I even had the privilege of joining the Youth Empowered Team as a volunteer leader. I organized board games, mobile phone tutorials, and visits to the Hong Kong Palace Museum for the elderly. I found these programs to be particularly meaningful, especially with the increasing aging population in Hong Kong. I also inspired many teenagers from our community to volunteer, allowing them to connect with different minorities in the local community. I am currently a student mentor under HandsOn, and I hope to share my experiences with those eager to make a difference. I am very honored to have been recognized as a finalist and recipient of the merit award as a Community Contributor from the South China Morning Post in the Student of the Year Competition.”
