Say hello to our GLE Summer 2016 Community Leaders
Beside each picture is a brief introduction of their interests and passions! Enjoy!
Supidsara Thantanaporn (Mink) Education is the issue that I am most passionate about.I think it's time to create a high-quality education system for the world, where enough high-quality teachers, schools, and the best education system, make the students not only learn in the classroom but outside class, too. When everyone in this world has access to a high-quality education system, then other issues like poverty or human rights will hopefully disappear, too. This is why I am really passionate about this issue, an issue that can change the world.
Sau Ching Choi (Ching) I want to be a better leader to improve society and motivate others. Eventually I'd like to do my Masters in public policy. I would like to learn how to interact well with people from other countries so we can tackle global issues together. I am passionate about education, poverty and mental health
Guanghui Chen
I was more focused on gender inequality issues before, while I am also trying to figure out a way to combine business and social issues together. Also the goal of my business career is to use business as a part of solutions towards social issues. After analyzing all these issues, "IT X education" appears as a good social business model for me. Therefore my motivation to participate in the GLE program is to learn more about tech and maybe more of entrepreneurship as well. .
Xuecen Wang (Jessica)
I think education is very important because it is like a kind of heritage and the biggest success is letting the younger generation to develop the conscienceless of self-promotion. I love to learn new things and I also like to make things easier to teach. I really hope to develop a systematic vocabulary online course based on my previous work experience and set up a student-based group helping students who want to go abroad to study.
Pengcuohuxiangjie (Caleb)
I am passionate about solving the problems related to education. I am aware of how poor education is in some remote areas in China. As I did some teaching programs in the past years, I want to do more projects in the future in the most isolated places in China.
Ryo Eguchi
I am very interested in how virtual reality, robotics, and how technology can help our society at large.
Wentao Xu (Allen)
My passion is the environment. When I was in Sri Lanka, I helped protect the elephants. I realized that the environment and nature are our responsibility.
Meiyan Lee (Lily)
Among different global issues, I am most passionate about solving the issue of animal rights. As a witness of cases about animal cruelty, I think this issue is of utmost importance .
