FUSIA Communications yesterday announced the formation of its racing team for this year's Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in New York and took a group photo yesterday.

The racing team, made up of 14 CCIP students and FUSIA staff members, embodies the spirit of cooperation which spans across cultures. Each student and staff member will wear a unique T-shirt featuring a colorful design and the slogan "we're all in the same boat" symbolizing cultural diversity and the joining of unique differences through teamwork to accomplish great things.

Taking the FUSIA motto to heart, to think above and beyond, the team sees this occasion as more than just a sporting event. It's a celebration of diversity and a triumph over cultural barriers. FUSIA will take to the waters in the spirit of tradition, good-willed competition, summer joy and much more.

The goal isn't just winning. It's realizing that even after the festival is over, we're still in this global race together. And we're all in the same boat.

The team will attend two practice sessions this Sat and Sun, July 17 and 18, and race on Sat and Sun, August 7 and 8 at the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in New York at the Flushing Meadows Park.

Let's cheer them on!
