Francis Wong

Francis Wong is Executive Director of Project Little Dream and an alumni of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Francis majored in Architectural Studies and served as the Vice President of the Architectural Student Association. After graduating from the school of architecture in CUHK, he became increasing concerned with global problems of inequality and poverty, and proactively took part in various overseas service trips hoping to lend a helping hand to the underprivileged. The trip to Cambodia in 2006 and rural Morocco in 2007 has lead him to take a further step in serving the less fortunate and has subsequently motivated him to join Project Little Dream.
