It is hoped that through the spread of love and relevant information, people in need could seek timely help with channels available for them. Also, Mr. Leong expressed appreciation to KWNC for organizing numerous life education lectures which include clinical nursing experiences of nursing teachers themselves so that the messages delivered can be more convincing and influential to the public.
KWNC Professor Zhu Mingxia expressed that the initial intention of organizing life education subject was to strengthen the mental capacity of nursing students and to equip them with positive attitudes towards life and death cases they will face during clinical study. Not until when the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau, Centre of Moral Education invited them to organize lectures and sharing sessions at schools, they discovered the needs for promoting and popularizing life education to the public. Professor Zhu believed that Hoi Fai Centre is an excellent platform with broad social networks which for sure can promote life education to more people in the community.
