SUPPORTING EDUCATION
 
 
2016 - 2018
Be the Change
 
"Be the Change" ("the Society") is a registered non-profit society which was set up to help underprivileged ethnic minority children in Hong Kong with extracurricular education. This Society offers tuition in English, Chinese language and Mathematics to enable the ethnic minority children (studying in mainstream Hong Kong schools) to succeed in entrance examinations and thus pursue higher education which can further lead them to becoming self sufficient and responsible individuals. The vision of the Society is to ensure that these children are well equipped to meet the challenges of education, work and life.

In March 2017, the members of Rotary Club of Tsim Sha Tsui ("our Club") visited the Society’s centre in Tsim Sha Tsui to see volunteers tutoring the children in their academic studies. Our Club provided financial assistance to support their Chinese tuition classes. In addition, our members also helped to recruit more Chinese tutors as the society had expressed that the children learning Chinese was a major challenge.

Real Madrid C.F. Sports Clinic

Real Madrid C.F. is one of the leading Football Clubs in the world. The Spanish Club held a sports clinic in Hong Kong where selected young children in Hong Kong had the opportunity to undergo intensive football or basketball training. This training wasn’t only to improve the kids’ physical fitness, it also taught them certain core values in participation, team work and mutual respect.

Rotary Club of Tsim Sha Tsui ("our Club") sponsored thirteen (13) under-privileged children from two organisations, “Be the Change” and “Caritas” to join the Sports Clinic.  Furthermore one child sponsored by our Club was selected to join the youth clinic of the local Oriental Football Club to continue his training, which is a dream come true for him!
