Principal, fellow teachers and students:
Right here most of our students will graduate from our school after August. You are not the little students who need a lot of guidance but you will be the pillars of our society. I am glad to share with you a topic "sacrificing yourselves to community". Contributing to society takes many forms such as donating money for non-profit making organization, using the spare time to do some volunteer works, setting up a fund to organize some activities and so on. However, why does it matter to our society?
Devoting ourselves to society can alleviate the deepest inequities of our society. Nowadays, the disparity between the poor and rich is so wide. Some rich families can bear the burden of the unaffordable-priced school fee of international schools, which accounts for over $40 000 a year. At the same time, the counterparts of the poor are concerned about their daily meals, a large part of their spending a month. The gap in Hong Kong become larger and larger and thus is so wick that the poor will be trapped and cannot move to a upper social ladder. Under the high living standard in Hong Kong, to earn the basic living has already consumed all the time of the poor. Some parents of the poor spends over a half day for working. The jobs of them most likely are cleaning workers, security workers, odd jobs and so on. They not only provide affluent environment for but also accompany with their sons and daughters under the long working hour. It is much more difficult for the poor generation to get a higher social ladder under this disadvantage compared with their counterparts in rich families. The poor still are the poor if we do nothing for them. That's why we should act now for those poor families and their next generation.
Actions speak louder than words. I don't want to share with you a theory of contributing but also today I want to introduce an energetic contributor for you to follow. What has he done? how has he done? Who is he? He is our former principel. I think all of you haven't known the story of him.
Our former principel,who is one of the founder of our school, spend all his saving for our school. After his retirement, He still comtribute himself to education. Everyday, after school, he comes to our school to give addtional lessons for our students. One day I found that he stayed the classroom with students until 7:00 p.m. I was so surprised that over 30 students still listen to the lectures of him. Students really enjoy the well-prepared lessons of him. Those students taught by him got improved greatly and fastly. His after school lessons have been coutinuing since three years ago. The attractiveness of his lesson not only provide suitable ingredients for students to grow but also build up their confidence in public exam.
Other than fostering our students, our former principal visits many street sleepers every Saturday and Sunday. Once he invited me to join his visiting and I immediately agreed to go with him. I think all of you haven't imagined how many street sleepers stayed under the roof of Culture Meseum. Some of them even had't dinners as they had no money for dinner. Principel and I took 4 big plastic bags full of lunch boxes for those without having their dinners.
