To commemorate this auspicious date, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the Home Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government and the All-China Youth Federation co-organized a project entitled, " Dragon at the Great Wall – Commemorating the New Millennium: a Vision for Youth ". What the project entailed was a Youth Conference on Meeting the Challenges of the New Millennium . The main theme of the Conference was Visualizing the Trends of Global Development and the Challenges of the 21 st Century and was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The Conference was followed by more than three thousand Chinese youth from across the globe raising a 10,000-foot-long dragon on the Great Wall, successfully breaking the current Guinness World Record for the longest dragon dance. With community support and encouragement, The Dragon Foundation was set up and takes forward the aims manifested by the “Dragon at the Great Wall”. The Foundation was established in Hong Kong and inaugurated on 12 February 2000. The Honourable Tung Chee-hwa, the-then Chief Executive of HKSAR and the Honourable Elsie Leung, the then Chief Justice of HKSAR, officiated at the Inaugural Ceremony. The Foundation was incorporated under the Companies Ordinance and registered as a non-profit making, charitable organization. The fundamental objectives of the Foundation are to develop leadership skills and nurture the innovative and creative talents of ethnically Chinese youth from around the world, while also encouraging and facilitating the creation of exchange networks amongst them. The Foundation also nurtures a spirit of service and civic responsibility towards the community. It furthermore recognises the outstanding achievements of youth in various professions. A Board of Directors for the Foundation was set up, which includes representatives of The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups and the HKSAR Government, along with prominent leaders from various sectors of the community. The Foundation’s Secretariat is administered by The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups. 1 Vision To facilitate networks among Chinese youth worldwide; to promote Chinese culture and heritage and to instil in them a spirit of service and responsibility towards the communities in which they live. Objectives The Dragon Foundation aims: to develop leadership skills to establish an exchange network among Chinese youth to facilitate the development of innovative potential to provide opportunities and ways to participate in serving the community to honour outstanding Chinese youth in various professions 2 Board of Directors Honorary Advisor Professor Sir Harry FANG Sin-yang, GBM, KB, CBE, LLD, JP (deceased) Chairman The Hon.

The Foundation really has been blessed over the past years. In spite of economic difficulties, staff constraints and sometimes logistical hindrances, the programmes that we have organised have not only been well attended, but have also proved to be successful and informative according to participant feedback. For me personally, I am particularly appreciative of how the Foundation has inspired a new generation of young people to public engagement. By serving the community or building networks across countries and languages, these young people have made a difference. That they have also been enriched by learning more of their own cultural heritage and tradition speaks to the uniqueness of the Foundation and its mission. I am also deeply grateful to all our supporters, donors, friends and colleagues. Because of your great support of and trust in the work of the Foundation, we have been encouraged and thus enabled to carry out our varied programmes. Thank you very much. I would also like to thank all the young people who have participated in the programmes. By becoming involved, you have taken up the challenge of the Dragon. You have committed yourselves to service and leadership. This is a great, but noble, responsibility and I wish you all success in the future. Finally, to the staff and management of The Dragon Foundation; it is only by your hard work and dedication that The Dragon Foundation has been able to thrive for the past nine years. With your continued efforts and enthusiasm, I have no doubt that the Foundation will continue to grow and prosper for the next decade and beyond! Thank you too very much. May the Spirit of the Dragon live on! T.L. Yang 6 Administrative Review The Secretariat Manpower at the Secretariat remained stable this year, with a simple structure and efficient day-to-day operations.

Dragon 100 Young Chinese Leaders Forum 2008 The Dragon 100 Young Chinese Leaders Forum is a flagship programme of the Foundation since 2002, bringing together 100 young leaders to reflect upon a specific theme, while also having the opportunity for travel, exchange and exposures. The theme for 2008 was “Thirty Years of Reform and Opening-up on the Mainland China”, focusing on the rapid economic development of the recent China. The participants were selected from nominations of local and overseas universities, organizations and businesses in 15 countries and places. The Selection Panel was led by Foundation Director, Mr. David Lan Hong-tsung. Members include Dr. Cherry Leung Yuen-yee, Honorary Consultant, Federation of Hong Kong GuangDong Community Organizations, and Mr. Stanley Yeung Chee-tat, Member of Programme and Fund Raising Committee of the Foundation.

  • Hong Kong Island West Rotary Club Some Remarkable Stories by Herbert K
    Hong Kong Island West Rotary Club Some Remarkable Stories by Herbert K. Lau (劉敬恒) (Rotary China Historian) 1 April 2014 The Rotary Club of Hong Kong Island West (香港西區扶輪社) used to be one of the prominent clubs in Hong Kong since its inception in 1954. Here are some of the remarkable stories that may gain your round of applause … (1) Home for Typhoon Wanda Disaster Victims in 1962 In late 1962, the Rotary Club of Hong Kong Island West built a Rotary Village that provided homes for typhoon-stricken families. Covering what was formerly a barren hillside on Mount Davis (摩星嶺), the Village (see photo) provided permanent housing for 64 families, a total of 337 persons, all were victims of the 1962 Typhoon Wanda. Typhoon Wanda was the most intense tropical cyclone on record in Hong Kong. It was the 59th disturbance in the record-breaking 1962 Pacific typhoon season, forming in August from east of The Philippines. Typhoon Wanda reached peak winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) in the South China Sea, and it made landfall on Hong Kong on September 1, producing gusts of 261 km/h (161 mph) which, in combination with a high storm surge, damaged thousands of huts and left 72,000 people homeless. Wanda left a total of 434 deaths, and it is estimated that an identical typhoon striking today would cause HK$2.6 billion (US$335 million) in losses. 1 Rotary International President Nitish C. Laharry (Calcutta, India) (first left in photo) inspected the Village during his presidential visit to Hong Kong in spring 1963.

  • JORC Report 2008
    JORC Report 2008 The Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission (“JORC”) Report has adopted a new format since 2007. Previously, our Report contained information about the JORC, gave an account of its important work during the year and described the different levels of court to give a comprehensive picture of the judicial offices within the responsibility of the JORC. Such information is now separately provided in two reports. First, a new report entitled “Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission” has been issued. This provides an account of the JORC and describes the different levels of court. It has been uploaded on our website. Secondly, an annual report which will concentrate on the work of the JORC during the year will be issued. In an effort to contribute to the protection of the environment, we will no longer publish a paper version of the “Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission” Report or the annual report. Both will only be uploaded on our Website. We hope you will enjoy reading this Report and gain a better understanding of the JORC during 2008.
