Sophia Zhang

Hi, I’m Sophia, a Y12 student at ESF Sha Tin College and the founder and director of Refugee Connect. After volunteering at the Refugee Union and conversing with refugees and asylum seekers, I learned more about their hopes and dreams, their challenges and struggles, and I believe there are a lot of incredible stories waiting to be told. That is what motivated me to start Refugee Connect –– to raise awareness amongst locals about this talented community of people, and to try alleviating some of the challenges they face in asylum.
