Healing Trauma with One Small Step Each Day

Yusuf Mohideen

I believe that differences are made in the ripples that amount to an ocean. Each person is unknowingly putting energy back into the world that they’ve gained in the past.

Joining Forces to Bring Back the Pleasure of Eating

Michelle Chan, Bianca Ho, Jackson Lo (Mealingful)

We aim to make every meal “meaningful” by providing delicious soft meals. If one day soft meals are as accessible as kids’ menus or as vegetarian options, our mission would be accomplished!

When Caring for the Lives of Others Transforms Your Own

Simran Narwani

I know I want to be involved in something hands on, and where I can make a direct impact on the community around me. I want to help others, make others feel happy, and feel happy myself in the process.

Building “CommUnity” Through Intercultural Language Education

Venus Wan, Florence Lau, Marco Wan (CantoGather)

We’ve seen many children go from disliking Chinese, to eagerly attending CantoGather classes … even on Saturdays! Their dedication and growth embody the impact we strive to achieve and is what we see as the start of their journeys to fully immerse in society. We will continue our endeavour to turn more “strangers” into “neighbours”.

Listen Up: This HKUer Believes That Deafness Need Not Be Debilitating

Marco Ng

In a society that is often not deaf-friendly, I’ve seen first-hand the struggles and inequities faced by deaf and hearing-impaired people. I must keep fighting for what I believe in and keep pushing my limits.

Manifesto

FOR US,

FOR ME,

 

THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT

WHEN YOU ARE ALWAYS

REACHING FOR THE STARS.

EXCELLENCE IS NOT AN AIM,

IT’S IN OUR DNA.

WE SEE NO ADVERSARIES,

TRUE COMPETITION COMES FROM WITHIN.

 

WE RESPECT THE DISTINCT,

THE DIVERSE + THE UNIQUE —

THOSE WHO LIGHT UP SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS

WITH THEIR WIDE SPECTRUM OF PROMISE.

OUR BEST WILL ALWAYS

BEAR OUR OWN FINGERPRINTS.

 

WE ARE A WORLD OF DREAMERS,

EACH UNIQUE,

ALL UNITED.

 

I AM,

WE ARE,

HKU MINDS.
