Thank you so much to Save the Children Hong Kong 香港救助兒童會 for supporting this cultural initiative, and bringing our kids together to have fun, enjoy creating traditional Chinese art, eat fabulous food and learn about the vibrant customs that make this time of year so special.

Our amazing colleague, Uzma Naveed, fled religious persecution a decade ago, leaving her engineering career to seek asylum in Hong Kong. In her powerful TEDxTinHauWomen Talk, she challenges the stigma of being a refugee, revealing struggles of dehumanisation and longing for dignity. Uzma shares her past and the painful realities of seeking asylum, sharing her journey to advocate for empathy, dignity, and the recognition of every refugee's resilience.

We are so proud of you Uzma! Thank you for being such a powerful voice for refugees all around the world.
