Joanna Cham<br />

Acting Vice Principal<br />

Appreciated acts of kindness: When I first arrived at my university in the UK, I<br />

carried two big luggage with me. I took the train from the airport and then<br />

hopped on a bus to get to my college. Being in a new city, I was not sure which<br />

stop to get off (there was no Google Map back then!). Eventually, I got off too<br />

early and arrived at the wrong college with my two big suitcases. Luckily,<br />

another student saw the state I was in and kindly guided me and helped to<br />

carry one of my suitcases all the way to my destination. It was a small but<br />

significant act of kindness by a stranger, one that I remember over 15 years<br />

later.<br />

Vice Principal<br />

Kindness means: A selfless act. It is related to altruism if you want to research<br />

the psychology and biology behind it!<br />

Acting Vice Principal<br />

Appreciated acts of kindness: When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I hadn’t<br />

yet learnt to check the Observatory each day during the rainy season. I<br />

forgot to take my umbrella one day and, while waiting at the pedestrian<br />

crossing, found myself in a sudden downpour. When I was just about to<br />

make a dash for it, a perfect stranger sheltered me with his umbrella, and<br />

walked with me across the road towards my building entrance. Blessings<br />

to all good Samaritans in HK!<br />

Kindness means: Finding happiness in the care and wellbeing of others.<br />

Appreciated acts of kindness: I really appreciate when a person that I<br />

don't know asks me if my day is going well so far. Even if that day had<br />

not been going well until that moment, this very small thoughtful act will<br />

boost up my mood for the rest of the day.<br />

Sedat Ozkan<br />

Acting Vice Principal<br />

Kindness means: Kindness is a mark of faith. The believer is gracious,<br />

for there is no goodness in one who is neither kind nor friendly.<br />
