Dear Wahyanites,

Cheung Chung Pan

Everyone who has a heart should be touched by the generosity of all of you who have shown great concern and love for fellow Wahyanites. Your response to our appeal to help Cheung Chung Pan has worked wonders. Chung Pan will leave for Taiwan on November 18th for a series of tests and biopsies. The first operation will be carried out on the 27th. He may have to spend Christmas in Taiwan.

Chung Pan’s mother told me this morning that his condition had worsened and he could not walk. His left foot was so bloated that he could not put on his shoe. The mother has arranged for a Rehab Bus to take Chung Pan to the airport where he will be wheelchaired to the departure gate. I believe corresponding arrangements have been made in Taiwan to transport him to the hospital.

We have received HK$648,902.69 in donation, which is more than sufficient to cover the initial medical expenses. Money is still coming in. We plan to continue supporting Chung Pan during his rehabilitation period and we shall use the surplus to set up a separate account under the Fr. Kelly Educational Fund for the relief of Wahyanites (WYHK and WYK) in need in the future.

You have given the Cheungs hope. The family is very grateful to you all. The mother breaks into tears whenever she speaks to me and she reminds me time and again to thank you. The school is thankful too. For your exemplary kindness and collaborative effort have taught our boys a good lesson in love, care and the power of unity of purpose. Deeds speak more forcefully than words.

Try to feel for Chung Pan in his shoe(s). Let us pray for his early recovery.

Best wishes,
Norman So
Principal

Meeting the King of Olympus and the Seven Sisters

Near the end of the year, stargazers seek for the belt of Orion and the Queen Cassiopeia. Big Bear (Ursa Major) will have already set before sunset, but it’s time for the Queen to guide you north.

Whilst Jupiter, King of Olympus, is watching from the west, seeking for the beauties of the seven nymphs in the north, you may see Venus just nearby Jupiter.

It may be too early to search for the famous Winter Triangle (Sirius, Procyon and Betegeuse), but it’s a good time to meet the infamous king staring on young girls.

Recent update: We also accept walk-in registration at 1pm on that day.

An all-round education includes the nurturing of the mind and the body. One of the most important aims of the Charity Running is to bring this message across to our students, so that they are encouraged not only to gain knowledge and academic achievements in their studies, but also to build up a healthy body and to nourish their mental strength through physical exercise. Before they are ready to face all kinds of challenges in society, students need to acquire some valuable qualities such as fortitude and patience, which can best be cultivated through the habit of continual physical training. In view of this objective, the School has organized this sport event to raise our students’ awareness of fitness and health.

Last year, the Wah Yan One Family Foundation organized a walkathon and united the two Wah Yan in a meaningful project. Again, earlier in February this year, Prof. Sydney Chung Sheung Chee, the SARS hero of Hong Kong and a WYHK71 graduate, led a Wah Yan team to participate in the Standard Chartered Marathon. The two events have successfully promoted unity and the Wah Yan spirit. Following the two events, the Charity Running aims at furthering this spirit. We expect that all Wahyanites will be proud to be part of the family.

Dear All,

I have good news to announce. Up till today, we have received HK$535,600 towards the medical expenses of Cheung Chung Pan. I should be most grateful if you would upload the news to your respective networks so that we all share the joy of a meaningful task accomplished. We should now put our heads together to think of a plan to start a charity fund for the relief of Wahyanites in need.

Peace of Christ!
