Because of its close proximity to Hong Kong,
Shenzhen attracts many alumni to join the events
staged by the
Shenzhen Chapter
. Professor Tony
Chan and Dr Eden Woon were excited to meet
with over 100 alumni and students at the drinks
reception in May. The charitable “Walk for Love” in
June not only highlighted the persistence of alumni,
but also raised over RMB400,000 for the One
Foundation! The Banff Mountain Film Festival Tour
and the reading sharing and marathon, initiated by
the group “Books & Miles”, received
overwhelming support from alumni in
Shenzhen.
