The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) received a generous donation of HK$2 million from the Friends of Hong Kong Association (FHKA) on 2 December in support of the University’s Elite Athlete Friendly University (EAFU) Fund, a scheme established to promote the dual career pathway for local athletes and to foster the sustainable development of local sports.
 
The donation ceremony was attended by FHKA President Dr Henry Tang Ying-yen, Vice-Presidents Professor Anthony Wu Ting-yuk and Mr Ng Leung-ho, Vice-President and Secretary Dr Tam Kam-kau, Vice-President Dr Eliza Chan Ching-har, Executive Director Mr Lu Fu; and EdUHK Council members and staff. EdUHK President Professor Stephen Cheung Yan-leung gave a presentation on the University’s latest development, before joining Council Chairman Dr David Wong Yau-kar in receiving the donation cheque.

The ceremony also saw the appointment of four elite athletes as the EAFU Ambassadors, namely squash player Leo Au Chun-ming, windsurfer Cheng Kwok-fai; and rowers Chiu Hin-chun and Lee Ka-man. This is in addition to last year’s appointment of former World Champion cyclist Wong Kam-po and Hong Kong karate team member Lee Chun-ho as EAFU Ambassadors, who are expected to become role models, committed to promoting local athletes’ whole-person development.
