MAN YEE LAI

I am passionate about helping people with my knowledge and skills. I have engaged in education, social service and marketing communications through my work and volunteering. With helping the disadvantaged people, I have sense of accomplishment and that is the reason why I have worked in these areas for almost ten years.

Helping children is my most favored aspect. I believe that one's upbringing can cause an ever-lasting positive and negative impacts on their personal growth. Giving them education can make them independent in future, unleashing their potential can make them have directions.

In addition, I am keen in helping people with my mathematical skills. Financial management is vital to everyone. People can understand how to make a balance between their entertainment and essential expenses.
