Dr. Tse Yuen-man, an alumna who volunteered to serve in the SARS wards, contracted the disease while attending to patients and passed away in May. In late March, CUHK alumni established the WE CARE Foundation to provide timely relief to frontline workers in PWH. The foundation was later extended to cover other public hospitals. The Million Thanks Campaign website set up by CUHK alumni also collected close to 2,000 messages of thanks, encouragement, and blessing to health care workers in Hong Kong. Plans are underway to put these messages in a CD which will be presented as souvenirs to hospital workers. There is now a world-wide CUHK alumni network of over 70 alumni associations to foster linkages between the University and its graduates. The CUHK Convocation, with all CUHK graduates as its members, started legislative procedures to have its Chinese name changed. In 2003, the CUHK Convocation established a 'CUHK Convocation Outstanding Services and Creativity Students Awards Foundation' through fund- raising, to provide three awards each year to undergraduates with outstanding performances in social services, university services, or creativity. In addition to operating a kindergarten, a primary school and two secondary schools in Hong Kong, the Education Foundation of the Federation of CUHK Alumni Associations was planning to open another new kindergarten. Meantime the foundation continued to raise funds to support education in poverty-stricken areas in China. Apart from soliciting alumni donations to sponsor books and tuition fees for individual school children, the foundation established three more alumni primary schools in 2002-3. Together with seven other primary schools being planned, the total number of the schools sponsored by the foundation in mainland China will soon reach 20. 8 6 香 港 中 文 大 學 年報 CUHK Annual Report 2002-2003
