Student Sharing

Fundraising to improve sport facilities for Cambodian children was a truly rewarding opportunity. It shows that everyone, no matter how rich you are, or how poor you are, can contribute to make an impact. I am grateful that I encouraged the HKUST community to stop by and contribute, reminding them of their duties as a global citizen. I hope the children in Wat Opot can enjoy the same Opportunities as us!

This is my first time to join a fundraising event in HKUST. I feel so touched and motivated that many UST students and staff are concerned about the well-being of Cambodia children. A great thanks to their generosity.
