Zoom Gathering on Overseas Study with Overseas Chapters This is a new program for students who plan to study overseas. 20 students (and some parents) joined the online gathering on 5 June. We invited 6 Old Boys located around London to share with the students their study and living experiences in the UK. Followed by casual chat and questions, our gathering lasted for an hour and ended by midnight.  We will try to accommodate students going to other locations by connecting them to the relevant OBA chapters as well. It’s certainly a good start to connect more students to Old Boys abroad! Special thanks to the following Old Boys for their time and effort – Dr Christopher Liu (77) President of UK Chapter, Eddie Chan (70), Francis Wan (03), Brian Chui (07), Alex Chan (13) and Allan Lee (18).  |
