【保健養生】- 中醫保健講座

【保健養生】在我們的青葱歲月，「英華」這兩個字與病痛通常扯不上任何關係；不料到了我們更能體會「寸陰是惜」的今天，「英華」又給我們輕鬆上了一課，也讓同氣連枝的兩間學校校友，在短短約一個小時內，獲益良多。
英華書院及英華女校的校友會邀請了YWC的校友中醫師徐澤昌博士(2003屆)為校友主持中醫保健講座，講座已於上周五（8月19日）晚上，在YWC的多用途活動室圓滿舉行。
當晚主持林漢傑(2005屆)及徐博士以清談形式，帶領現場及線上，一起探討都市人經常面對的健康困擾，包括痛症、更年期前後，以及脫髮等問題。徐博士不但為兩校校友破解了不少健康迷思，還即場提供了許多保健養生實用貼士。
講座答問環節，反應最為熱烈。兩校校友提問非常踴躍，林林總總的問題涵蓋新冠肺炎患者的調理、耳鳴、食療等。可惜當晚時間所限，即使校友意猶未盡，校友會亦唯有待日後再邀請徐博士，與校友一起探討了。
是次講座更獲YWC校友贊助與中西醫、保健養生、食療、纖體、美顏等內容相關的書籍，現場免費贈閲，以供兩校關注健康的校友參考。
是次活動是兩校校友會近年首次攜手合辦的活動，大家覺得如何呢？請留言告訴我們吧！🙏🏻我們很期待下次在校友會其他活動遇上您！😊

英華行 2022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。

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，今年的英華行仍會以線上形式舉行，活動名為「英華行2022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。活動詳情如下:
