Founded in 1992 by world-renowned ophthalmologist Professor Fred Hollows and his wife Gabi Hollows, The Fred Hollows Foundation works to restore sight and create positive change. The Foundation established its first overseas office in Hong Kong in 2015, supporting eye health initiatives across Asia and beyond.
Launched in Hong Kong in 2012, the Humanity Award embodies Professor Hollows’ belief that “the basic attribute of mankind is to look after each other.” Together with its offices in Australia and New Zealand, the Award has recognised over 4,000 Primary 3 to Primary 6 students who demonstrate kindness, empathy and community spirit through meaningful actions.
Every act of kindness deserves recognition.
Schools of the Humanity Ambassadors will be offered an Eye Health Talk delivered by The Fred Hollows Foundation.

Fostering Inclusion, Revealing Community Diversity
Fifteen students initiated the "We are Family" program, inviting ethnic minority students to participate in Chinese
cultural activities, including lion dancing and crafting herbal sachets. Together, they wrapped different styles of zongzi (rice dumplings) from various countries, placing visionenhancing ingredients to create "Bright Vision Zongzi." This initiative allowed ethnic minority students to experience care and warmth while learning about Chinese culture and the traditional wisdom of food-as-medicine to promote wellbeing and eye health. The students not only successfully promoted inclusion but also raised awareness about eye health, upholding the mission of The Fred Hollows Foundation.

from Baptist Lui Ming Choi Primary School
Sharing Talents and Joy To Inspire More People To Help Others
Two years ago, Ngai Shun established his stall "Happy Sunson" where he taught people to make "Happy Cakes" at various flea markets, sharing joy while raising funds for charities to support children in need. Additionally, he created a book about organ donation to help his peers better understand this topic and encourage those around him to register their organ donation wishes in the Centralised Organ Donation Register.
Ngai Shun shared his talents with others, allowing everyone to experience joy together. His spirit of empowerment and helping others embodies the value of a "Ambassador of Empowerment". "I can utilise my effort teaching people to make
musical cakes in order to spread happiness, as well as inspiring others to help people." he said
