Bulletins English Ambassadors
Ourpeople
Eager to improve speaking in English? Want to meet more friends? Or simply hope to be more confident? Whatever the reason, our newly recruited English Ambassadors in Bishop Hall Secondary School have taken up the challenge to create an English-rich campus environment. Recently, the English Ambassadors were given the task to design a game for students to play during English Week. With help from English teachers and Program Mentors’ encouragement, the Ambassadors worked hard in designing and promo�ng the game. These Ambassadors have taken a huge step in challenging themselves. They may not be the best English speakers but we can a�est to their growth and improvement throughout the program.

Program Mentors have cooperated closely with the Career and Life Planning Team at the school in hopes that the school will con�nue to host this horizon-broadening event. Teachers have invited many alumni to come back to their alma mater as guest speakers to encourage and mo�vate students.
Be a Storyteller “Video shoo�ng is all about story telling,” says Amy Shuen, a professional mul�media producer who came to St. Francis of Assisi’s College (SFAC) and held a video produc�on workshop on 11 April. We have formed a Mul�-media Produc�on Club in SFAC this year, which aims to provide a performance pla�orm for students to explore their crea�vity and enhance their self-esteem. Before our students began their video produc�on, we invited Amy to share her experience in video produc�on and how to tell a good story. Students also shared their views and ques�ons about video shoo�ng. We look forward to their video masterpieces.
Student Story From silence to being active Last year, I met J from a school-based project. He started out as quite quiet but very responsible when we organized ac�vi�es together. Being in my small group this year, he is no longer quiet and is more ac�ve in learning. He even made an announcement in English, and hence I praised him for ar�cula�ng it clearly. He was very proud of his achievement and con�nues to work harder.
Dispatch from the Operation Desk AFrom Salutesilence to Teachers to being active These past months, I have been busy meeting Partner Schools on sustainability topics and with potential future Partner Schools. One thing that struck me was the very important role of teachers in supporting our work and we sometimes failed to sufficiently acknowledge or appreciate their contribution. The teachers we work with tirelessly devote themselves to educating and empowering our youth, our future. With TUF, they care and tend to our Program Mentors as well, acting as their mentors, encouraging and inspiring our PMs. For that, a big thank you for another great year working with you all! Alice Chow, Executive Director

All students yearn to have their voices heard, especially the more silent ones. I am so glad to see and help J to be more vocal.

Moments of Connecting People with Individual Mentoring
TUF stands out from other educational organizations because of its approach to individual mentoring. The rapport-based mentorship with students is what TUF values the most while providing education support and activities. Each year, Program Mentors (PMs) select at least 10 students from their English small groups or school-based activities as mentees. The selected mentees tend to have a poor learning attitude, low self-esteem and lack motivation. Through engaging activities like board games, team tasks and one-on-one meetings, PMs establish a rapport with the mentees while assessing their learning and personal development needs. The needs of each mentee, together with the mentoring goals are then recorded on individual mentoring plans. The PMs and mentees then spend one school year together working toward the goals by using sharing cards and a value checklist to increase their self-awareness, sharing articles and PM’s life stories for inspiration, discussing challenges and thinking of new approaches, etc. PMs are resourceful and trustworthy adults who walk and grow with the students. Mentorship between PMs and students are valuable and influential to students’ learning and growth. We hope to see more teachers joining us in mentoring pupils!
