Building Our Future Together: Wah Yan Hong Kong Facility Upgrades Appeal
Dear Fellow Wahyanites,
As members of the Ontario Chapter, we are proud to be part of the greater Wah Yan community. Now, our alma mater needs our support. Wah Yan College Hong Kong is undertaking an ambitious Facility Upgrades Plan (Please refer to the attachment – “WYHK_Facility Upgrade Letter” for details) to ensure future generations of Wahyanites receive quality education in an enriched learning environment.
Our school aims to raise HKD $20 million by the end of 2025, with the facility upgrades set to be completed by August 2026. This is our chance to make a lasting impact!
You can contribute in two ways:
🔹 Individually – You can donate directly by clicking the QR code link to reach Wah Yan College, Hong Kong; or
🔹 Through Our WYHK Ontario Chapter – Make a greater impact together—join fellow alumni in a collective donation by contacting Mr. Andrew Ng, Ontario WYHK Chapter Chairman, via email <shipshape@rogers.com>.
Important Reminder: Donations made in Canada will not be eligible for donation receipts.
Every contribution—big or small—counts. As Wahyanites, we believe in serving without counting the cost, and this is an opportunity to uphold that spirit. If you are unable to give financially, your prayers and spiritual support for this endeavor are equally valuable.
Let’s come together as a community and help our Alma Mater continue its legacy. If you have any questions to contribute, feel free to reach out our WYHKOAA Chairman, Mr. Andrew Ng at <shipshape@rogers.com>!

Wah Yan Boys resume activities
After over two years of the pandemic, people here seems to have accepted COVID 19 as part of life. While some people are still very concerned about exposure to the sickness, most have returned to “normal” life. Basically, all pandemic related restrictions for gathering have bee lifted.
The first gathering after the pandemic for the Wah Yan boys was held last weekend. Our president, Andrew, invited some old boys to his house for a barbecue. In all over twenty people, including our brothers from the Kowloon side participated.
There were tons of food, drinks and chats and laughter. We were very excited to see new comers as well as some people we have not met for a very long time.
Andrew said that he would have invited more people but his house can only hold so many. He is thinking about a picnic type gathering for all members. It may not happen this year, but certainly in the plan. Meanwhile, we are considering resuming the annual dinner. A date and venue is to be decided.
