Call for Nominations of "Hong Kong Spirit Ambassador" Hong Kong's success over the past years had much to do with our positive and can-do attitude. In face of difficulties and adverse circumstances, we remain optimistic and persistent. Most important of all, we care about others in both good and bad times.

As members of this community, we very much hope to promote the above Hong Kong Spirit to our young generations. We call on you to actively participate in the "Hong Kong Spirit Ambassador” Programme, which aims to commend individuals whose lives can exemplify the Hong Kong Spirit. Through their touching stories, we hope these ambassadors will help sustain the Hong Kong Spirit and inspire others.

Chaired by Dato Seri Paduka Sir Ti-Liang Yang (楊鐵樑爵士), the Programme has formed a Judging Panel comprised of Ms. Barbara Chan (陳敏兒女士), Chairperson of Parenting Forum; Mr. Bernard Charnwut Chan (陳智思先生), Chairperson of The Hong Kong Council of Social Services; Dr. Philemon Choi Yuen Wan (蔡元雲醫生), Honorary General Secretary of Breakthrough; famous writer Ms. Eunice Lam (林燕妮小姐); Ms. Ann So (蘇麗珍女士), Vice Chairman of Kwun Tong Federation of Parents-Teachers Association; Dr. Rosanna Wong (王鳴 博士), Executive Director of The Hong Kong Fed- eration of Youth Groups and Ms. Alison Yu Chui Yee (余翠怡小姐), a wheelchair fencing athlete.

Six to ten ambassadors will be selected with reference to their life experiences and the attributes identified for Hong Kong Spirit. The successful nominees will have the opportunities to share their Hong Kong Spirit stories at schools and different districts. We look forward to your active participation no matter as a proposer or nominee, or by sharing the news with the fellow students. Nominations are invited until 18 June 2010.
