The Gold Award Presentation 2023 was successfully held at Government House on 12 December. We were honoured to have The Honourable John Lee Ka Chiu, GBM, SBS, PDSM, PMSM, Chief Executive of the HKSAR, to be our Guest of Honour and presented certificates to 35 Gold Award Recipients and 7 Ten Years Long Service Volunteers! We appreciated Mr. Andy Kwok Wing Leung, JP, Chairman of Award Council, Mr. Victor Pang Wing Seng, MH, Vice-Chairman of Award Council, and Award Council Members for witnessing the wonderful moments of our awardees. We showcased our commitment to environmental protection during the award-sharing section by presenting a Christmas tree assembled plastic bottles collected from “GREEN@COMMUNITY”. This served as a meaningful way to promote the message of environmental protection and bring a festive atmosphere to the event attendees. Two Gold Award Recipients shared their personal experiences, inspiring other recipients to apply the knowledge and skills gained from their Gold Award journeys, and together, continue to uphold the spirit and beliefs of AYP.
