Delia Memorial School (Broadway) Students Promote Health and Inclusion
On March 23, 2025, ten dedicated students from Delia Memorial School (Broadway) participated in the Meridian Health Exercise event, organized by the Community Medical Education Services Association (HK) at Domain Mall, Yau Tong. This event aimed to promote health and inclusivity among diverse ethnic groups while sharing the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine.
To prepare for this meaningful role, our students attended three workshops—each lasting about two hours—where they learned two different exercises tailored for the elderly. One exercise was designed for those who are mobile enough to stand and move easily, while the other catered to individuals with restricted movements. Despite being young and flexible, our students initially struggled with these new exercises. However, with time and practice, they adapted and became more confident. Many even shared that they felt relaxed while practicing, which was a rewarding experience for them.
This program provided our students with a heartwarming glimpse into Chinese culture and fostered a sense of connection with the community. A key highlight was how this initiative aligns with our school’s academic year plan for 2024-2025, focusing on promoting a healthier lifestyle among students and encouraging them to give back to society.
As health ambassadors, our students engaged the public, inviting bystanders to join the exercises, breaking down cultural barriers and fostering unity. In addition to their live demonstration, they were also involved in filming their healthy exercises to create an online video resource. This video will be posted in the near future, with the hope of reaching not only the elderly in Hong Kong but also the general public, further promoting these healthy exercises. The impact on the community was evident, with attendees—including expressing their appreciation for the students’ enthusiasm and efforts.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Community Medical Education Services Association (HK) for organizing this event and providing our students with this opportunity. We also wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Cheung Kwan Sheung, an associate professor at the Hong Kong University of Chinese Medicine, for his patience and dedication in teaching our students and sharing his knowledge. A special acknowledgment goes to Ms. Kwok Yin Lai, a member of the Sham Shui Po District Council, for facilitating this valuable experience for our ethnic minority students. We truly appreciate the support we’ve received throughout this rewarding experience.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the association in future initiatives that promote health, well-being, and social harmony in Hong Kong.
