The EmbraceLife Foundation Ltd. was founded by a group of like-minded friends who come from different sectors, age groups, living environments and occupations, sharing the same vision and mission to achieve the same goal, to help young people find hope that they may understand the value of life, and enhance the resilience of young people when facing adversities. Our Mission We recognize the importance of meeting the basic needs of young people since life itself is inseparable from the need to be clothed, to have food, to be sheltered, and to have means of transportation. We aim to assist young people in meeting their basic needs by providing to them help and supplies when they need them the most. We will also offer various vocational trainings to the young ones so that they will have the necessary tools and skills to fend for themselves, which in turn serve as important building blocks for their future development. We endeavor to help young people to build resilience and develop a dignified character while coaching them in an array of practical skills so that they will be equipped to deal with life and interact with those around them. We strive to be there each step of the way to walk with young people in their lifelong journey. Our long-term goal is to encourage young people to learn and practice the five core values of Chinese culture: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and fidelity, collectively known as the Five Virtues of Life.

Principal Chan Free Tutorial World Limited

Education

Principal Chan Free Tutorial World is a non-profit charity organization and has been recognized by the HKSAR Government. Owing to the unjust education system in Hong Kong towards financially disadvantaged students. Our intention is to serve free tutorial classes and educational support for children who are determined to pursue their dreams but cannot fulfill them due to their financial backgrounds. INTRODUCTION OF OUR FOUNDER Chan Hung (Principal Chan) held a number of positions in the Education field in the previous years, including the Founder and Principal of a secondary school under the Direct Subsidy Scheme, the Secretary of the Hong Kong Direct Subsidy Scheme Schools Council and the Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Private Schools Association. In September, 2009, Principal Chan felt that the under-privileged children’s interests were being neglected under the Hong Kong’s education system; he then abruptly quitted his job as a Principal in a secondary school, sacrificed his million dollar annual income for the purpose of devoting his time to provide volunteer education services and established the “Principal Chan Free Tutorial World”, which specifically provides free tutorial services and other educational support to the under-privileged children. Principal Chan is a famous children’s fiction writer in Hong Kong. His novel “Youth is found in basketballs” obtained championship in the Hong Kong Biennial Awards for Chinese Literature (both adolescent and children literature). He is also a member of the Hong Kong Chinese Literature Micro Novel Research Society, the Secretary of the World Chinese Literature Micro Novel Society, a member of the Hong Kong Writers’ Association and the Hong Kong Children’s Arts Society, and the chief editor of the adolescent arts magazine “The new teenager bi-monthly magazine”. Principal Chan is married with two daughters and a son; the daily expenses of the family of five are now mainly supported by the income of Principal Chan’s wife, who is a civil servant. Principal Chan is working as a columnist in a newspaper, giving seminars in secondary and primary schools and is holding writing workshops in order to earn income for the family. MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL CHAN A fair opportunity for school education does not mean the fairness in the students’ academic results, but the fair opportunity to learn. The fair opportunity to learn does not solely mean the fairness to receive education, but the fair opportunity to improve and develop during the process of learning. Enabling each student a right to school and receive a 12-year free education only provides the student a fair opportunity to receive education. However, if a student is receiving education at school but is unable to obtain from the school the necessary care and support for their learning and development, which results in the lack of improvement in the student’s intellectual, mental and physical abilities, this is not a fair opportunity to learn. A fair opportunity to learn should not be deprived only because the student has substandard behaviors, abilities or academic results. Even more so, the student should not be abandoned by the school. If the student has committed wrongdoings, he must certainly be responsible for his wrongdoings; if he does not do well in his studies, he should bear responsibility for that. However, no matter how big the responsibility, or how serious the consequence is, the student should never ever be abandoned by the school or disregarded by the teachers. Just like a child, even though how bad he is or how poor his ability is, his parents could scold or beat him, or use other methods to teach him; but in no circumstances should his parents turn a blind eye on him and allow him to get worse or even kick him out of his home. Parents should not run away from their parental responsibilities; likewise, a school should not run away from their responsibilities to provide fair education to their students. The responsibility of a school is to help each student grow. If the student has poor academic results, then teach him and make him understand. If he has poor behaviors due to certain in-born learning problems, then help him out. Nowadays, the school takes the approaches that if the student has poor results, let it be, given that the student will eventually change or quit school after being demoted twice; if the student has poor behaviors, then kick him out of the school, so that it will not affect the school’s reputation and the impression of the parents; for those students having in-born learning problems, then turn a blind eye on him so long as he is not causing any trouble to the school. The reason for the above is that, nowadays, most of the schools only focus on academic results and the school’s reputation in order to survive; all the resources are used to serve those students who are able to obtain good academic results or bring good reputation to the school. Those students with poor abilities might never be able to obtain good academic results, but they might still be able to improve on a continuous basis. Their inadequacies may be in-born, but their lack of development is influenced by other factors. The reason for their lack of development is that they are unable to receive adequate support from the school. Students with strong abilities obtain adequate support from the school, whereas, those with poor abilities do not, this is unfairness in education at school. Students with poor abilities do not need to obtain the same academic results as the students with strong abilities, but they must be treated fairly and given a fair support. For those students not getting fair support from the school, if their families have good economic conditions, the students can still get tutorials from other means, or even pursue their studies abroad. They have other choices in their path of development. However, for those poor and under-privileged children, they do not have a choice. Facing their learning difficulties, they have no one else to turn to! Providing each student a fair opportunity to learn is supposed to be the responsibility of the school. However, if the school is unable to do so, other external parties may be able to provide some help. Providing each student a fair learning support is supposed to be the responsibility of the government. However, if the government has no intention to do so, the community may be able to provide some help. This is the reason and the purpose of our providing free tutorials to the under-privileged children! Please support us, join us, and work together with us in providing support to the under-privileged children, enabling them to have the right to obtain a fair opportunity to learn!
