MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER
Thank you for visiting our website to know about us and our work.
Having served the field of gifted education for about 30 years, I feel privileged to get to know many gifted and talented students. I am immensely grateful that a group of outstanding individuals, who have benefited from the gifted education services in Hong Kong, join hands with me to set up the GIFTS Charity Foundation with our vision of fostering “Giftedness Inspired Flourishing for a Transformative Society”.
The objectives of our Foundation include promoting gifted education in Hong Kong, helping teachers and parents unfold students’ potential and talents, providing support services for gifted youngsters to facilitate their whole-person development and positive well-being so as to optimize their giftedness and talents, and, above all, networking gifted and distinguished persons in their contribution to serve society and those in need.
If you share our vision, please join us or give your support to our Foundation. Together we can synergize our efforts and resources to nurture our youth and make Hong Kong a better society.
