Miss Phoebe NG, Chairlady of the Organizing Committee, hoped that the photo competition would raise the public awareness towards different social issues and further encourage reflections and discussion on the issues and possible solutions.

Mrs. Susanne Wong, JP, mentioned in her remarks that, Rotary International has been dedicating in addressing global issues and bringing positive changes to the world through sustainable and impactful projects, at local and international level. In Hong Kong, Rotaract clubs involve students from various universities and tertiary institutions, as well as youth from all districts, organizing them for community services and personal development. She appreciated the energy, enthusiasm and dedication of young people, while she encouraged youngsters to make use of their creativity and problem-solving ability in addressing social issues.

Mr. Fergus TSE shared with the audience that Rotaract clubs worldwide will organize different events during the World Rotaract Week, which is 11th – 17th March, to celebrate Rotaract’s 51st anniversary. Presented in various different formats, these events aim to spread positive messages and values to the community, as well as to enhance the publicity of Rotaract’s service projects.

Over 100 entries were received from the photo competition. The selection was conducted by the judging panel, which was comprised of famous local photographers Mr. Eldon LAU and Mr. Pak-chai TSE as well as Rotary representative Mr. Menza CHU.
