Wilson Gan is a strong believer in collaboration for a greater good. When one person or one organization does something for the society, it is limited to his or her own ability. However, when different individuals and organizations come together, each bringing their own unique skills, talents and abilities to the table, we can achieve greater impact. Please contact Wilson Gan for any potential collaboration ideas or proposal He looks forward to serving the community in a new and innovative way.
