“My acceptance at Li Po Chun UWC was one of the most important watershed moments in my life. It forged my way of thinking and allowed me a safe environment for the introspection needed to think about the purpose of my existence. I am humbled to be able to help more young people access that same opportunity I was given to discover different parts of the world through the shared experiences of friendship, discovery and intellectual curiosity.”
