Congratulations to Laurence Lai and Emma Ouyang for Valedictorian and Salutatorian positions!

Laurence Lai and Emma Ouyang, members of NHPCA and part of New Hyde Park Memorial High School’s graduating class this year, received Valedictorian and Salutatorian respectively, ranking 1 and 2 out of 299 students in the graduating class. Congratulations to both of them for this outstanding achievement!

They are both hardworking students who, in addition to studying hard for their grades, participate in many different extracurriculars- Laurence is also a web editor for NHPCA. In addition, both Laurence and Emma were semifinalists for the NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.) Only 1% qualify per year; they are part of these 16,000 students for their grade group.

You can read more about both of them on the New Hyde Park Memorial High School Website here.

Brief Summary

We are the New Hyde Park Chinese Association, NHPCA (http://nhpca.org ), a non-profit organization with about 500 members from New Hyde Park, Garden City Park, and Garden City area. Since January, our leadership team had been closely monitoring the epidemic condition in China and Italy, thus our organization were well planned for the outbreak at the beginning of March when we initiated donation among our members. Within a couple of weeks, our organization received a total amount of $15,849.00; 2,200 facemasks; 120 N95 masks, and 50 boxes of gloves. We’ve donated to nearby hospitals, police stations, fire stations, post offices and our community residents. Everyone’s generous donations reflects the love and cohesion of the Chinese community in the New Hyde Park neighborhood. The association spent $13,060.49 on anti-epidemic supplies like disinfectants, masks, thermometers and gloves. The remain balance is $2,788.51 is currently reserved as our community assistance fund.

To summarize the work that we have accomplished:

In the early stage of the epidemic where the frontline medical staffs were severely deficient in PPE’s, NHPCA immediately responded and donated FDA approved N95 masks, isolation gowns and protective goggles for facilities including St. Francis Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Glen Cove Hospital. The medical staffs said the masks solved their urgent needs. Later on, we also purchased thermometers and covers for the St. Francis Hospital. 

We also acknowledged that many other frontline essential workers such as police officers, firefighters  and mail carriers didn’t have enough protective equipment.  We donated thousands of facemasks, gloves, and disinfectants to them. To promote self-protection for our neighborhood, the association also initiated on Facebook and organized volunteers to distribute facemasks, disinfectants, gloves and other protective equipment to our local residents and bus drivers at the Chef Wang Chinese restaurant parking lot. We created a web page for front line workers to apply for protective equipment online.

The charity of the Chinese community has been highly praised by local residents and donors, as they have left messages on Facebook and appreciated the Chinese community for their generous dedication.

Activities organized by NHPCA was briefly summarized as following:

On 3/19, 200 N95 masks were donated to Glen Cove Hospital.

On 3/27, 12,000 gloves, 1,000 masks, and three large boxes of hand sanitizer were donated to the New Hyde Park post office.

Since late March, our online PPE application channel had received requests of 145 N95 masks and 20 medical masks from medical staff, all of which had been fulfilled timely.

The virus is ruthless but love heals and will bring us together. We want to also take this opportunity to thank all friends, our fellow members and volunteers who donated money, PPE’s and their efforts in this difficult time. Our work will carry on and together we will overcome the pandemic
