親愛的弟兄姊妹:
感謝你們不斷在經濟上和祈禱上支持我的學業,這是我所需要的。
斯泰倫博斯大學於每年一月開始開始新學年,經已上課六個月了。頭三個月在校園裡度過,後三個月因為新冠肺炎爆發,政府下令強制停課,我需要回家,在家中藉著網上上課。網上學習是艱辛的,但仍可應付。過去我習慣於實體的課堂模式,如今變成網上授課,這對我來說是巨大的轉變。
雖然這樣,我仍能完成第一個學期及第一輪的學期考試。整體來說,我在斯泰倫博斯大學的工程系學習總算一帆風順。如今,我正等待公布成績。
今年五月,我接到香港中文大學取錄的通知,我決定九月回香港繼續升學。因此,我在斯泰倫博斯大學第二個學期開始前退學。現在,我正熱切期待在香港讀大學的日子。
因疫情之故,南非實行封國已有三個多月,現時仍未有國際航班。請為南非政府能開啟國際航班祈禱,也為我能順利回港升學禱告。謝謝你們的支持!
祝平安!

Dear brothers and sisters,
First of all, I’d like to thank you all for your continuous financial and prayer support. It is much needed and appreciated.
It has been 6 months since starting my studies at Stellenbosch University: three of those months were spent on campus while the other three were spent at home as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. The coronavirus outbreak forced the university to take a mandatory recess period meaning that I only resumed classes online in April. Online classes have been tough but bearable. It was drastic change from the interpersonal lectures to which I was accustomed. But lo and behold, I have reached the end of semester one and finished the first round of semester exams. In general, my engineering studies at Stellenbosch have been smooth sailing considering all circumstances. And I am currently waiting for these exam results to be published.
Since I will be attending the Chinese University of Hong Kong this coming September, I have chosen to discontinue my studies at Stellenbosch for second semester in anticipation. I am very much looking forward to continuing my studies in Hong Kong.
Since South Africa is currently lockdown for 3 months due to coronavirus, the border is closed at this moment. Please pray that the SA government will open the border and international flight can be resumed. And I can return Hong Kong for further studies.
Regards,
Pak Kiu
