Hongkonger Evony Tsang Hau-yi is only 22 years old and has already become a driving force behind the promotion of social entrepreneurship.
As part of the Fullness Social Enterprises Society (FSES), she currently oversees more than 70 social enterprises and manages hundreds of activities and school engagement initiatives.
“In 2016, I joined the ‘Young Social ChangeMaker Camp’ during my post-exam period as a secondary school student. The camp provided invaluable learning opportunities and a platform for collaboration, allowing me to explore innovative solutions to address societal challenges,” she said.
“Being part of this meaningful activity has been a transformative experience.”
Tsang is now in charge of the Young Social ChangeMaker Camp, which aims to introduce students of all ages to the values of care and creative thinking through the concept of social entrepreneurship.
