Ruth Ho Lo Tak (何路德) was awarded the noble title of Marchioness* by the Spanish Royal family early this year for her active involvement in voluntary services for over 26 years in Hong Kong, the Mainland and other places in the world.

Ruth studied in Ying Wa from Primary 3 to Form 7, and had her undergraduate and post-graduate studies in CUHK and HKU respectively.

She started teaching in 1970 in Heep Woh College and became a secondary school principal in the Tung Wah Group in 1982. She had her early retirement as she wanted to spend more time with her family, especially her dear mother who was not feeling too well at the time.

Despite her heavy schedule of work, she never forgets to spend time for the needy. Her work in the Lions clubs are reputable and has earned great respect.

She is also a Knight of the Order of the Templars of Germany.

 

*Marchioness is the second highest rank (the highest being Duke)
