Tak Mak received our 2006 Wah Yan Ambassadors, Alwin Wong (WYCHK) and Angus Lee (WYK) on August 10. The Ambassadors were accompanied by former directors, Alan Leong (01), Falco So (02) and Albert Fung (02) who were all UT undergraduates then. Tak Mak gave them a briefing on cancer research.
Father Coghlan writes, "From July 1st to July 4th 1999 I spent four wonderful days in Toronto celebrating the 75th and 80thanniversaries of Wah Yan College Kowloon and Wan Yan College Hong Kong respectively.
