No class on May 18, 2021

Thank you for the great work!

On May 14, 2021 the Education Bureau just decided to temporarily suspend all community university classes beginning on May 15, 2021 until further notice. This is because of the current condition of COVID-19.

So we won't have class on May 18, 2021.

We'll wait for the school to 

notify us when to resume class.

Thank you!
