Exclusive Meeting with Philanthropist Mr. Chung To & Famed Artist Raghava KK

We are delighted to invite you to a special event featuring two remarkable speakers, Raghava KK and Chung To, who will share their inspiring journeys and insights with our Harvard, Brown, Columbia, and Yale alumni communities in Hong Kong.

Raghava KK, a renowned artist, will deliver a talk titled "My 5 Lives as an Artist." In this captivating presentation, Raghava will take us on a colorful and vulnerable journey, recounting how art has unexpectedly transformed his life—from cartoonist to painter, media darling to social outcast, and father. His endearing honesty and the tale of his multiple artistic reincarnations will surely captivate and inspire.

Chung To, the founder of the largest and longest-running non-governmental organization serving HIV-impacted children in China, will share his insights on "The Situation of HIV-Impacted Children in China." He will shed light on challenges of underprivileged children, including poverty, illness, and social stigma, and how his organization has innovatively and empoweringly supported these children by providing long term educational support and also summer camps in themes such as art and music.

This event promises to be a thought-provoking and enriching experience for our alumni community. We encourage you to join us in exploring the powerful stories and perspectives these speakers have to offer.
