nominated by the school took part in the annual summer
camp hosted by YICT, which has been running since 2005 and
rewards academically strong students. Within the seven days,
the students had many frst-time experiences, such as touring
YICT, visiting scenic locations in Shenzhen and experiencing city
life. Every year, YICT also arranges for two teachers from
the school to attend a two-week seminar at Tianxin Primary
School in the Yantian District. The programme is credited
with improving the school’s curriculum and broadening the
exposure of the participating teachers.
Day trip for children from AIDS-afficted families
YICT, in partnership with Hong Kong Chi Heng Foundation,
organised a fun day trip to Shenzhen for 24 children from
AIDS-afficted families in Henan Province. The children toured
the port operations at YICT, took a quayside boat trip, and
visited Dameisha Resort Park. The YICT team spared no effort
organising the event and making it a memorable trip for the
participants. The event endeavoured to decrease their sense
of social stigma and isolation, and rebuild their self-confdence
and sense of community and belonging.
HIT - A long-term supporter of HPH’s Dock School Programme
Top students of each grade at the Tsuen Wan Trade Association
School received scholarships from HIT last year. For almost 25
years, HIT has been supporting the school as part of HPH’s
Dock School Programme. In addition to providing scholarships,
HIT sponsors cultural enrichment activities and other educational
initiatives organised by the school. More recently in 2009, HIT
adopted its second Dock School, the Hong Kong Institute of
Environmental, Social
and Governance Report

year sponsored by HIT, Gerry Yim, HIT’s Managing Director,
presented certifcates and cheques to the three winning
teams. The theme for 2013 was “Overseas Ports”, and the
winning entries comprised insightful studies of ports in Korea,
Singapore and Los Angeles.
