Brightening Future Generations with a Spark
Huang Yufei wrote to HKS Education Fund in 2023, when he was a second-year PhD student at Westlake University, expressing his gratitude for the support given in continuing his education. Mr Huang, raised in Mianyang, Sichuan, received a grant from HKS Education Fund dedicated to education and community rebuilding due to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. This early exposure to philanthropy had led him to join the university’s public welfare club and further understand the vision of HKS Education Fund, including re-investing in society.

Shaping Children's Character and Quality - The Power of Music
During the observation class, I heard the children’s choir singing with great team spirit. Their music was filled with purity, charisma, dreams, and aspirations for the future. Their collaboration was seamless, echoing and supporting each other during the parts. This well demonstrated that music could nurture their aesthetic ability and artistic literacy while also shaping their character, building their integrity, confidence, and persistence on their path of growth.

Children with rebellious behaviour are no longer skipping classes and now happily assisting their parents with household chores at home.
