An encouraging role mode

“My mentor Mr P H Mak is patient, responsible, hard-working and also knowledgeable. By meeting and having meals with my mentor and his wife, I learnt more about dining etiquette and table manners. My mentor always talk to us and listens to our concerns. He always encourages us to be positive and gives us guidance. I am so grateful for his encouragement and care. Having him as a role model, I am also trying to help others as much as I can.

Before Christmas, a group of mentees gathered at Mr Mak’s home and had dinner together. We also decorated the Christmas tree together.” Deng Yiqi.

Hu Hongying: “Mr Mak gave me lots of advice both on my studies and life in general. Learning from his experience, I appreciate the importance of co-operation with other people, especially with hall mates. Once I came down with a fever and cough, Mrs Mak helped me to find some herbal medicine, which I found deeply touching and, as I am studying far from home, it gave me more motivation.”

Mentor: Mr Mak Pak Hung
