Story
Hello world! My name is Aidan and I'm a student from Hong Kong.
Raising awareness for men's health is something that I am passionate about because it is an issue that has affected me personally. My grandfather passed away because he was embarrassed to share his struggles with cancer until it was too late.
Every year, Project Privates - a student led organization - holds Movember themed events in schools across Hong Kong. The primary purpose of these events is to inform, educate and eradicate underlying stigmas surrounding the issue of men's health. Our events have been very successful, including raising $15,000 for the Movember Foundation last year.
This year, we have decided to create a Men's Health Club in addition to our Movember events. The purpose of this club is to inform and mentor students about men's health at a more practical level. Collaborating with health officials in our schools, we have developed a series of workshops that are used to achieve this goal. Schools participating in the workshops this year (2021/22) in Hong Kong are:
- Kellett School
- Victoria Shanghai Academy
- Canadian International School
- German Swiss International School
- Independent Schools Foundation
- Sha Tin College
Regardless of how you have found us, I sincerely hope that you could contribute to this cause. All proceeds will be given to The Movember Foundation under Project Privates. The Movember Foundation (https://hk.movember.com/about/foundation) tackles many men health issues including, but not limited to, prostate cancer, testicular cancer as well as mental health and suicide prevention. I strongly believe that every contribution is a step closer toward happier, healthier and longer lives for men.
Thank you.
