Detailed description	The SiWu Scholarship Award was established by the late Dato’ Lim Keng Kay  (Dato’ KK Lim),  founder of Tenby Schools in loving memory of Lim Si Wu, the youngest son of  Dato’ KK Lim and his wife,  Datin Stella. The establishment of the Trust arose from Dato’ KK Lim’s deep conviction that  it is  through the education of, and interaction between, the young in their formative years,  that people of different races, cultures, religions and nationalities can come to  understand  and respect one another, working towards the Tenby Vision of “A United World At  Peace –  Through Education”. The trust provides financial support for teacher training and  scholarships  to support the education of deserving students at Tenby Schools.
