We had a fruitful day at the Service 100 Fiesta, with 11 students signed up showing interest for the project. It was the first time Principal Li and Liang Lu came to HKU, and they were very impressed by the international composition of students here. In fact, we made an international team as well: David from America, Principal Li Korea, Liang China, and me Hong Kong. Our next-door neighbour - Food Label team came to chat with us and were amazed at hearing Korean conversation between an American guy and a Chinese lady.
Neighbor to our left, 'Ignite Our Dream', was initiated by the red-shirt guy who came to our booth to make friends with me. He really impressed me by his humble and excellent communication. He told me that he and two other team-mates started the project of recruiting HKU students to do volunteer teaching in China in 2013 and now they have already recruited more than 70 volunteers and will set off to 4 different sites in China. They work through the Tin Ka Ping Foundation Fund. This is no coincidence that we met. I shared with him what we have been doing in promoting cooperative learning in Yu Tim, also professionally supported by the Tin Ka Ping CL Train the Trainer project.
Our biggest reward perhaps was that we got these resource persons and NGOs that can be our future partners:
