Ariel firmly believes in the power of service to others, believing that it not only transforms lives but also fosters personal growth.

Driven by a commitment to make a difference, he has dedicated his time to various social service initiatives that empower communities in Hong Kong. From volunteering at local animal shelters, participating in beach clean-ups, to advocating for mental health awareness among the elderly ethnic minority, Ariel has gained a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by various groups through these experiences.

His journey as a student intern at a local nonprofit organization has also deepened his commitment to making a positive impact. Through outreach and home visits, Ariel gained invaluable insights into the daily struggles of families, while witnessing the transformative power of quality education. That experience fueled his dedication to empowering the vulnerable communities by enhancing their access to education and the necessary resources. On the other hand, he has also become aware of the challenges faced by nonprofits, and that he is eager to apply his technical skills to support different stakeholders.

With the support of the Scholarship Program, Ariel looks forward to furthering his education and expanding his knowledge. He is excited about the opportunity to join a community of like-minded Scholars and mentors as he continues his journey of service.
