Learning, Growing, Empowering Others: My Journey with LEAP
Just like in my career, where I strive to constantly learn and improve, I’m proud to be associated with LEAP for over 20 years. Their work truly resonates with me.
LEAP’s magic lies in its unique approach. Their programmes aren’t just informative, they’re fun and engaging, breaking away from the traditional classroom setting. This makes learning about healthy habits and positive values more accessible and impactful for young minds.
Witnessing the interactive sessions myself, I was amazed by the students’ energy and enthusiasm. It’s truly heartwarming to see them learn through positive interaction and exciting activities, gaining valuable knowledge while having fun.
Beyond the fun, LEAP’s mobile classrooms create a relaxed and inspiring environment. This innovative approach fosters a memorable learning experience that goes beyond textbooks. Meanwhile LEAP’s impact doesn’t stop there. Their secondary programmes equip young people with essential life skills, empowering them to stay positive and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
Prevention is key, and I strongly believe that LEAP’s positive approach makes a real difference. By equipping young people with the right knowledge and skills early on, we can build a generation more resilient and empowered to make smarter choices.
I’m committed to continuing my journey with LEAP, supporting their future development and ensuring even more young people benefit from these impactful programmes.
Join me in empowering the future of our children and youth!
Life Buddy - Vivienne Tam
Fashion designer Vivienne Tam is world renowned for her unique creations inspired by a combination of Chinese culture and Western design. LEAP was honoured when December 2011 she agreed to support us, marking the first time she had made her collection available to benefit a charity in Hong Kong.
“I was approached by Quince Chong, Chairman of LEAP, and was touched by her passion in educating the younger generation,” said Vivienne. “I appreciate the creative concept of the mobile classroom that effectively delivers important life messages. I agree it is so important to educate children early to prepare them for life. I am very glad to be part of this meaningful cause.”
88,000 Reasons to Celebrate – a Vivienne Tam Charity Fashion Show for LEAP was held on 3 December 2011 in the beautiful garden of Taikoo House, home of Mr Christopher Pratt and Mrs Francesca Pratt, who kindly hosted the event. Over 110 guests enjoyed a high tea, the fashion show, auctions and raffle draws with prizes donated by generous supporters including Cathay Pacific, Swire and the Peninsula Group. The event, which celebrated LEAP’s programmes reaching 88,000 students for the second year in a row, raised a net total of over HK$1.4 million.
LEAP is delighted that Vivienne has agreed to become the first of its “Life Buddies”, and will support LEAP and our Health Ambassador, Andy Lau Tak Wah, in our efforts to promote health and preventive education for young people. “It is so important that we educate our younger generation to live healthy and positive lives; and adopt an eco-conscious lifestyle,” says Vivienne. “I would like to share my story with young people, encourage and inspire them to have creativity, sensibility and compassion, to become young adults who care and contribute to society.”
Vivienne’s Ming Dragon Embroidery Tote Bag was also available on Cathay Pacific flights from January to March 2012, with Cathay Pacific and Vivienne Tam kindly donating HK$700 from each purchase to LEAP. Thanks to their generosity, HK$210,000 was raised.
There is no doubt that with her talent, determination, strong values and consideration for others, Vivienne Tam is a most worthy role model for young people in Hong Kong.
