Amanda’s commitment to the UN’s SDGs was first inspired by her encounters with many resourceful individuals who face, or have faced, tremendous inequality in their daily lives because the SDGs are not yet reality. She was privileged to meet these people - and learn from them - through her voluntary work with three Hong Kong-based NGOs, two with regional operations. In parallel to this, Amanda’s environmental interests have grown through seeing the threats to local habitats around her home on Lantau. And a life-long interest in History has taught her that, often, change starts with an individual and a single idea. We don’t have to wait for governments to implement the SDGs: we can start here and now.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
