Change HKIS:
A 'For Girls' Story
The For Girls Club was once Yoonjung’s personal project back in her freshman year, through which she hoped to fundraise money to help those in poverty with obtaining sanitary and high-quality period products. In 2021, she decided to expand this into a club, currently led by herself, Lauren Chong '23, Kate Nielsen '23 and Celeste Belin '24.
Prior to this initiative, the For Girls club also did fundraising by selling Cambodian peppers on their website and participating in events at HKIS like the Pumpkin Festival.
Through these efforts, the club was able to develop a relationship with the Cambodian consulate in Hong Kong and multiple corporations, leading to participation in the Hong Kong Trade Development Council Fair. The club also raises awareness towards period poverty through social media.
The initiative also received a lot of support from the HKIS community. Prior to presenting the issue to the school’s administration, the club presented it to Amy Smith (High School health teacher) and Theresa Lovelin (former High School nurse). With their guidance, the club later presented the issue to David Lovelin (High School Principal) and the school’s schoolwide administration. Celeste adds that they also received support from Kevin McCaughey, the club’s faculty advisor.
Yoonjung firmly believes this isn’t the entire list of teachers who will help the initiative. “Since we’re just starting, we haven’t reached out to a whole lot of teachers yet because we weren’t sure if the initiative would pass, but now since we know it’s going to happen, we’ll reach out a lot more to get support.”
For their future as a club, Celeste (the group’s only leader not graduating this year) discussed the club’s annual campaign that occurs on Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28 where they’ve held period product drives. They also plan to host Dragon Day sessions, promote the cause on social media, and collaborate with Run Hong Kong. Through all this, the members hope to work towards a community that is accepting and accommodating, starting with this huge change for health and wellbeing at HKIS.

Dragon Testimonies: Brennan Lee '23
Brennan Lee ‘23 encountered Jesus during a difficult time during 10th grade. His friends invited him to a lunchtime hangout in the High School Spiritual Life Office. Here, students had interesting conversations about faith and life with Church of All Nations youth worker Kevin Kong. Through the support of his Dad, he embarked on a journey of Catholic Confirmation at the age of 17 and continues to learn more about the faith through his church, FISH Club, and Alpha at HKIS.

Dragon Testimonies: Theresa Lovelin
For Theresa Lovelin, coming to Hong Kong and to HKIS was part of an intricate plan by God. Theresa arrived in Hong Kong in June 2017 when her husband Dave Lovelin became High School Principal. While there, she met Jesus, became a committed Christian, and was baptized at the Church of All Nations. Looking back, Theresa sees the seeds planted throughout her life and can confidently say that HKIS was an important stepping stone in her lifelong journey of spirituality.

Dragon Testimonies: Alan Zhou '31
Alan Zhao ‘31 didn’t like to miss out. It was his good friend Emmanuel who invited him to church, and when Communion took place, Alan wanted to know what he had to do to take part. The two friends joined JOY Club, the Christian after-school club, and continued to attend church together each week to learn more about the Bible. Friendship, support from his family, and God’s prompting have been Alan’s greatest gifts this year!
