* Speaker’s Biography:
Mr. Tony Chan sees Myanmar as his second home. He has been helping the Burmese get rid of poverty by establishing LxM, a charitable organisation based in Hong Kong, and Craving Good, an online social enterprise. The former addresses the educational needs of children in Myanmar; whereas the latter creates job opportunities for the low-income groups by selling their handmade products, hence improving their living conditions.
