Community Comes First - “Awards Should Not be Your Primary Goal”
Wong Chak Lam, Brian, a third-year social work major, was selected as one of the awardees in the “Ten Outstanding University Students Selection 2023” held by the Hong Kong Ming De Association in November of last year as a result of his substantial time commitment and dedication to community services and personal development.
The
selection of awards is based on students' participation in public welfare
affairs. Wong has been involved in several volunteer initiatives to increase
his involvement in social services, such as beach cleaning activities,
corporate visits, and environmental education days.
Wong was selected as one of the awardees in the “Ten Outstanding University Students Selection 2023”.
"I'm thrilled because not only does the award acknowledge my work, but the scholarship offered also provides me with the opportunity to take part in an overseas volunteer trip," Wong expressed.
In addition, the Hong Kong Ming De Association arranged various workshops for applicants to improve their workplace skills, including resume writing, entrepreneurship advice, and public speaking. Through this, students can receive support and equip themselves to prepare themselves for joining society in the future.
