Bill Koo
VIVA
Hey everyone, it's Bill. I'm a Year 12 student at Diocesan Boys' School. You might have seen me doing pitches with VIVA Forum Initiative, or chairing at various MUN conferences. As someone who's involved in volunteering and SDG action, I'm passionate in helping out my community and the wider society. That’s why I’ve worked with organisations from VFIHK to HKSAEE, we try to host TED circles and tutoring sessions to engage impact and empower change. When I'm not burying my head in revision and rushing deadlines, I like to design clothes and sip warm coffee. See you all in March!
