    Mr. Vinci WONG (right 3), the Chairman, and Board Members paid a familiarisation visit to TWGHs Jockey Club Sunshine Complex for the Elderly.

    Chairmans MessageOn an ordinary workday in April, I received a letter which was definitely extraordinary. It contained an ingenious handmade greeting card from Kitty, a TWGHs kindergarten teacher. On the cover of the card, she painted a portrait of me with rich colours in a lively style, depicting me as a Chairman full of energy and vitality. Inside the card, there were handwritten praises, blessings and encouragement, by which I was really moved and gratified. I believe, as do other members of the Board, that we cannot promote the charity work of TWGHs alone without the support of the general public, the benefactors, our predecessors and our staff. As Chairman, I am sincerely grateful for your encouragement and guidance. Your recognition is the impetus to our ongoing progression in various services, and I treasure the privilege to join hands with you all during the year to optimise our contributions for the long-term development of our society.

    In early May, I participated in the Tin Hau Fest! Yaumatei, a large temple celebration event in Kowloon revived by TWGHs. On that day, our organising team arranged a number of traditional ceremonies and activities with local characteristics, providing participants with some unforgettable moments. I joined other Board Members and the public in cheering at the rare scene of a worshipping ceremony with a giant floral tower to pay tribute to Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea. People were also amazed at the stalls of traditional handicrafts, such as sugar paintings and flower plaque making. And all the places for the free guided tours were taken up in no time. The big smiles and enthusiastic participation of members of the public were like numerous Like casted for the event. Here I would like to thank our project team members for their efforts and coordination, without which TWGHs social services could not have better integrated into the community. Plus, thanks to the event, the general public now have a more clear picture of TWGHs aspirations in preserving and promoting traditional Chinese culture, besides our dedication to meet the demand for traditional Chinese temple services.

    To steer society towards a brighter future, we must first of all properly nurture the younger generation. Adhering to the philosophy of all-round education, TWGHs promotes diversified teaching, and explores and cultivates students potential in different aspects, for the sake of a holistic development of their moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic well-being. Among others, it is the 3rd year for TWGHs to organise the Every Child is an Artist Art Education Development Programme for our kindergarten students, which is intended to enhance childrens arts literacy by means of art education and creation. It also guides children to explore things from different perspectives, in order to enhance their thinking, visions, creativity and confidence. An exhibition was organised in early May to display a number of works with infinite creativity and childlike innocence, which proved the significance of effective teaching in childrens happy learning and healthy growth. It also reminded us of the importance of upholding our original aspiration and belief in education for all, offering quality education to the younger generation who can then open up a promising future of their own.

    In addition, TWGHs has been actively promoting STEM education at our schools in recent years, with the aim to develop students computational thinking and innovation, as well as collaboration and problem-solving skills in a systematic manner. Making good use of our valuable school network, we organised the B3 STEM Challenge 2018 for TWGHs primary schools in mid-April, and specially arranged students from different schools to form teams to join, hoping to facilitate them to learn from each other. Participating students benefit greatly, not so much from the prizes as from the inspiration for their personal growth. TWGHs also proactively takes students out of Hong Kong to gain personal experience and make contacts in different parts of the world. By so doing, students can verify and apply what they have learned. They are also encouraged to think out of the box, to be exposed to different cultures, and to respect and accept one another. Indeed, related initiatives are conducive to their intelligent and moral development. At the closing ceremony of the Our Future, Our Teenagers: Belt and Road Exchange Project, I listened to the presentations by participating students, who, with great fluency and confidence, shared their wonderful learning experiences of lectures, company visits and even their journeys to Singapore and Malaysia, which adequately shows the benefits of the project to students. I am indeed happy and satisfied to witness their growth throughout the programme.

    There is a good news I would like to share with you. WEI Zhong, a Form 6 student of TWGHs C Y Ma Memorial College with outstanding performance in vocal music and piano, was honoured with the 2nd Runner-up in the Performing Artist category in the SCMP Student of the Year Awards, while TAM Yun Fung, a local elite athlete of billiard sports and a Form 6 student of TWGHs Kap Yan Directors College, was also shortlisted as one of the finalists for the Sportsperson category. Congratulations to both! Thanks to the support from the TWGHs Support and Award Scheme for Elite Sport and Art Students, we are delighted to see that these two students have been able to develop their potentials and won awards in international competitions.

    Finally, I would like to remind everyone of the TWGHs Charity Premiere of Fortuitousness: Xu Zhimo Drama Show on 29 June, which has become possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Mrs. ZHENG HUANG Xuanying and the great support of Little Horse Workshop. Please show your support for the excellent performance, as well as the fund-raising deed for TWGHs Easy Ride Transportation Service intended for the elderly. Enjoy a good show and help the needy at the same time. Dont miss it!

    TWGHs Man Mo Temple 170 Years of HeritageIt has been over 170 years since the establishment of TWGHs Man Mo Temple in 1847. As one of the renowned temples in Hong Kong, it was declared a monument by the Government in 2010.

    To celebrate the 170th Anniversary of TWGHs Man Mo Temple in 2017, TWGHs invited Mr. KO Tim Keung, a famous Hong Kong historian, to be the author of TWGHs Man Mo Temple 170 Years of Heritage, which comes with the Catalogue for the Plaques and Couplets of TWGHs Man Mo Temple. Through extensive literature surveys and studies, the book looked at not only the origin and the parliamentary, arbitration and development functions of Man Mo Temple during the early days of Hong Kong, but also the establishment of the Man Mo Temple Free School, explaining in detail the social status and functions of Man Mo Temple, so as to enhance public understanding of the history of Man Mo Temple.
