CAPE CORAL, Fla., Oct. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legacy Education Alliance, Inc. (OTCQB: LEAI) (www.legacyeducationalliance.com), a leading international provider of practical, high-quality, and value-based educational training on the topics of personal finance, entrepreneurship, real estate, and financial markets investing strategies and techniques, today announced that it held a Legacy Education financial training in Hong Kong on September 15-17 in defiance of Typhoon Mangkhut, the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2018, that is now being called the strongest typhoon to strike Hong Kong since 1984.
On the days that followed the storm, most of the city’s 600 bus routes were out of service due to debris- blocked roads. Despite the chaotic transport dilemma and seemingly endless storm cleanup, something amazing happened after the storm had passed. Students began showing up for the Legacy Education financial training.
“People often ask me what types of common characteristics I see in Legacy’s most successful students,” said Anthony Humpage, the Company’s CEO who personally attended the event. “The answer is one that became even more evident to me that weekend. Students who have an undying determination to succeed are the ones who will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals. Our Hong Kong students did not let this natural disaster dictate their next steps in life. They weathered the storm, and immediately jumped back on track to becoming financially educated. Having personally witnessed super typhoon Mangkhut and its aftermath, our students’ tenacity is testament to their determination and resiliency.”
Mr. Humpage announced that he and the company also had made a donation to the Hong Kong Red Cross in support of its efforts to assist those impacted by the storm.
