Dr Therese Wai Han Shak (石慧嫻, 1932-2010) completed her Bachelor of Arts in English in 1957 at the University of Hong Kong. She received her Master of Arts in 1972 and a master’s in Education in 1982, both awarded from the University of Hong Kong. She obtained her doctoral degree from the University of British Columbia, Canada in 1989. ^[1]

Shak set up the first adult education centre of Caritas, Hong Kong, in 1966. Since 1969, she worked as a senior administrator in the Caritas Adult & Higher Education Service. She was in charge of the Caritas Adult and Higher Education Service (明愛成人及高等教育服務) from 1969 to 1991. During her tenure at Caritas, she established 27 day-schools and evening-schools for adults as an alternative to the formal educational system. ^[1]^[2]

After moving to the UK in 1991, Shak founded the Ming-Ai Association to establish links between Hong Kong and the UK. In 1992, with support from Roman Catholic Diocese of Westminster, UK and Caritas Hong Kong, the Fung Shan Foundation financed the establishment of the Ming-Ai Association and the Ming-Ai (London) Institute (明愛(倫敦)學院). She remained the Dean of that Institute for the duration of her natural life. ^[3]
