救助兒童獎2024（個人組別）得獎者——陳卓琪

博雅思教育中心創辦人 

Twiggy Chan, Founder of Boaz International Education Institute

陳卓琪是博雅思教育中心的創辦人，曾任香港精神健康諮詢委員會成員。陳女士自小患有讀寫障礙，到16歲才被診斷出來，學業上經歷過許多痛苦，後來有幸遇上啟蒙老師，成績由被開除邊緣變到突飛猛進。年少的經歷使她決心成立教育中心，幫助境況相同的學生。她深信「只有不合適的教學方法，沒有不受教的兒童」。

在陳卓琪的帶領下，其教育中心在過去11年與香港大學和超過100間本地機構和學校合作，服務超過3,000名學生及家庭。她相信每個兒童不論背景及能力，都有權利接受所需要的學習支援，因此她資助患有讀寫障礙的基層兒童參加合共170課訓練，給予接受合適教育的平等機會。她亦與一間市場推廣公司開發了一個網上系統，使大眾能夠體驗讀寫障礙的學習困難，系統在 1 週內接觸多達124,000人，促進公眾對讀寫障礙兒童的認識。她的團隊獲得社會企業基金會撥款，開辦培訓導師文憑課程，以教育中心的獨特教學法培訓出更多導師，服務更多有需要的兒童。

Twiggy Chan is the founder of Boaz International Education Institute and a former member of the Hong Kong Mental Health Advisory Council. She has been battling with dyslexia since childhood but was not diagnosed until the age of 16. Fortunately, she encountered an inspiring teacher who greatly improved her academic performance. Drawing from her own experiences as a child with dyslexia, she later founded an education center to assist students facing similar challenges and she believes that ‘‘If the children do not learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn.’’

Under her leadership, the center collaborated with the University of Hong Kong and over 100 local organizations and schools, benefiting over 3,000 students and families over the past 11 years. Twiggy believes that all children, including those less privileged, should be given equal learning support and so, she sponsored 170 hours of dyslexia training sessions for  children with dyslexia. Moreover, her company partnered with a marketing firm to develop an online system to simulate the learning difficulties faced by dyslexic children, reaching up to 124,000 people within a week and enhancing public awareness of dyslexia. With funding from the Social Enterprise Fund, her team launched a diploma programme to train more tutors using the center’s unique teaching methods, with the aim of reaching out to more children in need.
