On September 24, our Club welcomed Mr. Marco Kwong from UNESCO Hong Kong Association, who introduced members to the Peace School program. Mr. Kwong shared the program’s vision of promoting peace through education and encouraging young people to develop a greater understanding of peace and harmony. Our Club was encouraged to sponsor its Interact schools to participate in the program, offering students an opportunity to explore these important values and put them into practice. The meeting also featured a visit by President Victor Lau from Rotary Club of The HUB Hong Kong, who updated members on the planned Area 3 Global Grant project. His sharing provided an opportunity for members to learn more about the proposed collaborative service initiative. It was an informative and engaging lunch meeting, bringing together the themes of peace, youth development and cooperation among Rotary clubs.
On February 26, President Elect Victor Lau of Rotary Club of The HUB Hong Kong visited our Club to explain to us in detail the upcoming joint-club project. The project leverages the knowledge-base and resource network of Rotary WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) program to deliver clean water to approximately 50 families in rural Thailand. President Elect Victor Lau explained that, before committing on the project, of which our Club is a supporting partner, he and several of his Club members traveled to rural Thailand to assess the needs and feasibility of delivering and installing WASH equipment there.
