The Founder of Man Kwan Education Fund

Words from the Founder

Everyone has the root of righteousness. Students are like seeds for which schools need to direct sunlight and air so that the righteous roots grow. We founded “Man Kwan Education Fund” for aiding wholehearted students with financial difficulties so that they can concentrate on their studying and also broaden their learning experiences. This is how we put our motto “All are educable” into practice.

The Fund will be distributed to students in forms of scholarship and learning vouchers. Hundreds of students are assisted every year by the Fund. To spread the fortune of the Fund, from this year on, the Fund will also benefit Primary 5 and Primary 6 students in the community. More juveniles can be nurtured with the utmost attention and develop their talents so that their self-confidence will be strengthened and courageous to face challenges.

We will continue to organise different types of courses and activities in the future for the enhancement of students’ diverse learning experiences. It is true that our concern, acceptance and respect matter to the growth of the young generation. We hope that we can work together to bring the potentials of every youngster, who will then work out a bright future, become the pillars of Hong Kong and reward our society.

Words from the Chairperson

Our young people are the pillars of the future society. We believe that during the golden years of education, young people should focus on learning, actively build self-confidence, and equip themselves to meet future challenges. “Man Kwan Education Fund” is to help young people in Hong Kong break free from the geological and ideological shackles by encouraging students to learn outside the classroom, face the world and broaden their horizons, nurturing them to become talents. This is our mission and goal.

Over the years, in order to alleviate the financial constraints on students, we have rewarded and subsidized students to participate in learning activities in different forms, including study tours, project studies and extracurricular activities, etc., to enhance their learning opportunities and life experience, thereby cultivating their critical thinking and problem-solving ability, so that even in the face of a highly competitive society in the future, they can find their own path.

The “Man Kwan Education Fund” has been fortunate to have the support and active participation of caring philanthropists, enthusiasts, parents and students, who donate whatever they have, benefiting countless students. Although we actively promote public welfare undertakings, as far as society is concerned, the fund is just a small pile of sand in the desert, so what we hope most is to draw the attention of all walks of life, gather more resources, and create a wider, more ideal, and more equal learning platform for our future generations. With your support, we believe that one day, the sand will eventually become a pagoda.
