Take and Give Knowledge Can Change One’s Life —A Giver’s Dream “My family and I strongly believe in the saying ‘knowledge can change one’s life. We read about the FIFE Fund Scheme in the Convocation Newsletter and were deeply touched, especially by the message 「受恩施恩，薪火相傳」 (paying forward). I then decided I would make a small contribution to the Scheme. My family was also very supportive of my decision. We hope that the Fund can help the recipients pursue their dreams.” Cao Zhenliang 曹振梁 (MSc(CompSc) 2010) 「作為教育工作者，我們有責任令有能力的學生得到相同的學習機會，學生不應因經濟理由而喪失 學習及個人發展的機會。基於這個理念，港大亦成立一些助學金幫助基層及第一代入讀大學的 學生參與不同的學習活動，只要符合家庭入息及資產資格便可申請。 教育不僅是知識傳授，亦是向上流動的重要途徑。我們希望藉 提供平等的教育機會，減低貧富 懸殊及跨代貧窮，為低收入學生提供更多機會裝備自己，冀望同學能盡一己力量，在課餘以至 畢業後，服務有需要的人，致力促進社會發展，為其他人製造更多機會。」 香港大學學生事務長周偉立博士 Cao Zhenliang (right) and his parents at a campus tour Convocation Newsletter (Summer 2011, page 45) Giving in Focus 26
