https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pP6CSYvRZ-EVEQmZ_muWaLLCIZPiaEr76SxyiEhxkl1FBKBekdA3GZF5-WI4yXIlr56W1SB6CDl_4bxNYgYzOkI6M1uG--8_qirGrtZ6au6AFRjNTmIiEmJbzoz-mFdiDw=w1917
 
Information, Communication and Technology (“ICT”) plays a vital role in our daily life now and in future.  At the EXCO Meeting in April 2021, it was suggested to explore the formation of an ICT interest group amongst old boys with below objectives:
 
1) to provide a platform with common language linking up old boys who are either working in the ICT industry or playing a ICT function in any other industries;
 
2) to share market updates and provide a resource to those old boys who need ICT assistance for work and personal needs;
 
3) to make use of alumni’s ICT knowledge and resources for better development of YWCOBA, Ying Wa College and Ying Wa Primary School;
 
If you’re interested in joining and even co-organizing the proposed ICT Interest Group,  please fill in the Google Form (https://qrgo.page.link/Z7BFL) with certain background and details so that we can proceed with the initiative at earliest convenience.  
 
Thanks a lot for your attention and support!!  You’re welcome to send inquiry to info@ywcoba.com whenever necessary.
 
We will keep you posted when the ICT Interest Group is officially formed and ready to serve the Ying Wa family.
 
Best wishes,

請 參 加「英 華 教 育 基 金」英 華 行 2021 傳 承 線 上 走

敬 啟者：
 
「英華教育基金」由校友會於2012年成立，集合校友、學校、校董會及家長教師會等多方資 源力量，為學校籌募經費，讓學校有更充裕的資源去提升英華學生的學術水平及各種天賦才華。英華為「直資」學校，財政需自負盈虧，亦須儲備資金作未來發展。
 
有見及此，「英華教育基金」每年都 連同書院、小學、兩家長教師會，以及校友會舉辦步行籌款活動，藉此籌募經費。 過去七年的英華行是一聯合書院、小學和校友的大型活動，希望透過此活動能加深大家的情誼。但因 應疫情關係，今年英華行將以線上形式舉行，活動名為「英華行2021傳承線上走」。一如以往，我們 將聯合書院、小學及校友一同參與。同時我們亦會邀請身在香港以外的師生校友一起參與是次活動。 雖然各師生校友今年未能聚首一堂，但藉著活動希望可以把所有英華仔的心連結一起。  
 
請參閱附件 (英華行舊生會2021)以了解活動詳情和申請程序。 無論你在世界任何地方，英華兄弟們一起來參與這個特殊而有意義的活動吧 !
 
如有任何疑問，可致電英華書院 2336 8838 與徐小姐聯絡。 
 
此致 各校友 
 
英華書院校友會主席
 
謹啓 二零二一年四月十六日

利是封

【利是封】收利是的通常較著眼於利是的「內涵」， 但派利是者則希望利是有內涵之餘，「外表」也可以特别一些、吸引一些，在佳節團聚時製造話題，更添喜慶。繼年前「英華」利是封大受歡迎之後，校友會今年再接再厲，再推出利是封🧧，不但火速售罄，而且更獲校友一致好評！日前很多校友已經順利收到了。👏🏻👏🏻這個别緻的利是封叫好叫座，得力於籌委小組的心思、安排及努力，功不可沒🥂

祝願牛年會為大家帶來新氣象，疫情也快些過去，好讓在校的師弟們，可以盡快回復正常的校園生活，精采更勝我們往日在校的時光！

p.s. 就算唔團拜都要派利是，而派利是係一個傳統嘅「動作」，「內涵」要連利是封一齊派先至夠傳統☺️

英華傳奇 : 千里尋找香港字

【Print Matters】千里尋香港字 重鑄失落傳奇

“鑄造西式中文活字的先驅者，是英國倫敦傳道會傳教士戴爾。戴爾先在一八二八年前往馬六甲的英華書院籌備鑄字，其生產正式在一八三五年展開。一八四三年，戴爾客死異鄉，同年英華書院連同其印刷設備、字模字粒遷至香港。”

“受益於香港字，英華書院校長理雅各出版《中國經典》，德國漢學家羅存德排印香港第一本兩文三語的《英華字典》，王韜創辦世上首家華資中文日報《循環日報》，數之不盡的重要刊物得以誕生，推進中國現代化進程。而翻鑄出售的活字，不但出售到全中國，更廣及世界各地，促進中西文化交流。”

“一讀內容，阿翁便知，「十九世紀的香港，只有英華書院的明體四號字」”
