2007-10-05   When SARS was raging in Hong Kong (...more than 100 people died...)
Chinese Premier Wan Jiabo went to HK to encourage everyone to keep up the fight.
At a huge reception at the HK Convention Center he met representatives of the whole community of HK.
Of all the thousands of schools in HK (kindergarten/primary/secondary) one school was chosen to select a student
 to represent the several hundred thousand students in HK.
 That school was the Oblate Primary School in Tokwawan....chosen because of its high academic and caring standard

Also because of its outstanding record,
the Oblate Primary School was one of not many "two session" schools
(1,000 children in morning, another 1,000 in afternoon....each group with its own staff and principal)
 given the ok by HK government to split into two separate campuses and become two full day schools.
Today,  the new campus, the new school, Saint Eugene de Mazenod Oblate Primary School,
was blessed and opened by Cardinal Joseph Zen
.....with the smiling photo of Premier Wan at the main entrance

Maybe some day Premier Wan will have contact with our little Mazenod Center for poor children in Zhaoqing,
 or Mazenod College in Melbourne,
 or Mazenod College in Perth
.... all  animated by the same spirit of service and dedication practised by Saint Eugene de Mazenod long ago
