"My dream is to open more doors for ethnic minority ladies," Bibi Tayyaba emphasised in an interview commemorating the anniversary of the HKJC Scholarships five years ago. A Hong Kong born-and-raised Pakistani girl with a bold heart, Bibi continually strives to move closer to her goal. In 2021, she took the lead in encouraging Muslim and other minority ladies in Hong Kong to learn to swim by establishing the social enterprise "Pink Dolphin Academy". "I didn't realise that ethnic minority girls, particularly Muslim sisters, lacked opportunities to learn and practise swimming in an environment that respected their values and beliefs, until once my mother fell ill and her doctor advised her to be treated with hydrotherapy." Bibi decided to address this gap.

Bibi hopes to see ethnic minority ladies enjoy equal access, whether in the field of education or aquatic sports.

"I met Rachel from the Hong Kong swimming team at a gathering of JC Scholars and shared my ideas," Bibi recalls. The two girls agreed that anyone and everyone should be able to enjoy the fun and benefits of swimming. The first lesson was born out of their enthusiasm and Rachel took the coaching role. "We only had 10 participants on the first day, but everything worked well, and we received a great response from them. This encouraging experience laid the foundation of our future Pink Dolphin." The dolphin did not grow in one day, but it was always in her heart. Bibi later became a lecturer at The Education University of Hong Kong after studying a Master's degree at the University of Oxford in the UK. She was determined to play her part in making the community more inclusive, and the social enterprise was born.

The first batch of trainees successfully completed 10 hours of the beginner level swimming course at Pink Dolphin Academy.

Today, Pink Dolphin has grown to be a water paradise, catering to over 200 trainees of 9 different ethnicities, ranging in age from 6 to 65. "We want to keep providing a safe and carefree swimming environment for ethnic minority ladies and I hope they can become swimmers or trainers in Hong Kong themselves someday. I'm dedicated to speaking out for the ethnic minorities, so they can gain more opportunities in the community and go beyond limits."
