FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hong Kong, 4 December 2023 - The Star Anise Group, a Hong Kong-based talent and professional development business for lawyers, compliance, and business support professionals in key financial hubs across Asia, is proud to announce its recent community outreach initiative. The group, which incorporates three core brands, Star Anise (legal and compliance recruitment), SALT (leadership and development), and Yuzu (alternative legal services), has committed to providing English and career-related workshops to Form 4 students at its partnering government school in Hong Kong.

A team comprising Allan Campbell, Jackson Chan, and Chris Tang recently visited The Hong Kong Teachers Association Lee Heng Kwei Secondary School in Taipo, a partner school under the Project WeCan scheme. The team taught a class of students English applying a series of fun-packed games to drive up the energy and interest. This event marked a significant step in the group’s continuing commitment to the scheme following a successful year in the preceding academic year with the same school.

Allan Campbell, reflecting on the company's collaboration with Project WeCan, expressed, "I am thrilled to bring my past professional experience to this remarkable initiative. Our alliance with Lee Heng Kwei Secondary School presents Star Anise with a chance to invest in the forthcoming generation that will play a pivotal role in enriching the Hong Kong community. I am a firm believer in experiential learning and the joy of learning. It is my hope that we can equip students with new skills and the self-assurance to realize their utmost potential. Ideally, they will be inspired to reciprocate and contribute to society in the future."
