Update on ELEVATE 
ELEVATE 計劃最新動向


The final leg of the ELEVATE programme is currently underway and our ELEVATE students had the chance to personally meet with professionals from their dream careers to learn more about what a day in their life is like and the industry that they work in. So far, they have gotten to meet a local Indian doctor who studied in Hong Kong, an entrepreneur and copywriter, an Indian PhD candidate in Nursing and mental health professional, as well as a Pakistani pharmacist practicing in Hong Kong.

ELEVATE計劃已走向最後直路。我們的ELEVATE同學將與他們夢想職業的專業人士見面,了解更多他們的生活及行業。至今,他們已經與在港學習的印度裔本地醫生、企業家與廣告文案撰稿人、印度裔護理學及精神健康博士及巴基斯坦裔本地執業藥劑師會面。

 


Update on Online Chinese Class 
網上中文學習班最新動向


Thanks to the support of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Covid Emergency Grant, since the end of March 2022, Unison has been providing Online Chinese Enhancement classes for 50 ethnic minority children of K2 to P2 level. After just a month of launch of our project; we got some positive feedback from the parents about the classes and language improvement they noticed in their kids.

Here is what parents have to say: “The interesting thing I noticed in my kids is their excitement in learning new words through games, drawings and writing Cantonese characters. Teacher is very patient and the lesson is lively.” “When someone talks to them in simple Cantonese; they mostly answered in Cantonese too; not like before staying quiet.  Now they got talkative.”
 
感謝香港賽馬會新冠肺炎緊急援助基金支持,自今年三月底起,融樂會開始為五十位幼稚園二年級至小學二年級的少數族裔兒童提供網上中文學習班。至今,我們陸續收到家長對課堂質素及子女學習進度的正面反饋。

以下為家長回應:(原文為英文)
「我留意到最有趣的一點是,我的孩子正透過遊戲、畫畫、寫中文字而學習到新的詞語,而他對此興奮不已。老師非常耐心,課堂生動。」「當有人用簡單廣東話跟他們對話時,他們已能用中文應答,而不再如以往般保持沉默。他們現在更愛說話了。」
