                  Teacher's Comment: Wil Chan, Chief Principal, HKBUAS Wong Kam Fai Secondary & Primary School

“I should thank you for all the effort and energy to provide a tremendous learning experience for our students. While standing at the gate this morning to greet kids - I heard several wonderful comments about the Xi’an learning experience as well as the Kunming excursion. I don't know the details but the parents and kids mentioned how great the learning and experience was for them.”

Why Kunming?

Among the fifty-six ethnic groups identified in China, as many as twenty-six of them can be found in Yunnan province, essentially because in historic times Yunnan was extremely inaccessible due to its remoteness and its rugged terrain. Even in modern time, great diversities among the ethnic groups make it difficult for policy makers to formulate strategies to promote educational and economic development, leaving many members of minority races in higher levels of poverty.

In this trip, we will visit separately a Yi and a Miao rural villages. Through teaching the village kids English, interacting with their families in household survey, and helping them harvesting, we will not only gain insight of their meager lifestyle, but also be surprised by their fulfilling communal and/or spiritual life.

Below are the contrast between two villages:
