Feng Yi Fong Scholarship Fund for Career and Technical Education
| History: |
Mr. Paul Faun created the Feng Yi Fong Foundation in honor & memory of his mother, Feng Yi Fong. Mr. Faun was well-known in Taiwan as a renaissance man. He was a prolific writer and Buddhist philosopher, as well as a talented music composer and artist. Although Mr. Faun accumulated much physical wealth, he lived very humbly choosing a life of simplicity not plagued with material possessions.
Mr. Faun was raised by his mother who was a single parent. He was very fond of her and loved her dearly, and attributes much of his successful life to her love for him. Mr. Faun describes his mother as an impoverished peasant woman, non-skilled, illiterate, and who was mistreated as a concubine slave in China. It is Mr. Faun's intention that the scholarship be used to help persons like his mother to acquire the skills needed to obtain gainful employment and to better society. He believes that a little help can go a long way especially for single parents who come from a background of financial need.
