“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
When I was in kindergarten, I was taught to categorize the three major races, white, yellow and black. Later, I was taught to identify flags. Basically, the message I got is that Black people live in Africa, White People in Europe and Yellow People in Asia.
I was confused. How come I see Black people in Hong Kong? Of course, I asked my teacher about it, and he told me that they are Indian or Pakistani migrants. I was confused again. "Aren’t migrants being counted as Hong Kong people?" The answer I got is that migrants are migrants. I stopped asking when I see my teacher’s distorted face in red. Even I had stopped asking but I cannot get it off my head, even now, because I believe they are Hong Kong people, people born and raised in Hong Kong.
And it is what our organization believes in as well.
We believe Hong Kong people should be treated equally despite of their skin colors and cultures. However, believing is not enough. We aim to organize events and to provide services promoting cultural exchange between locals and minority groups. We hope to turn our beliefs into reality.
In the future, we will stand firm on our beliefs organizing activities to both locals and minority groups with quality. Nevertheless, such goals are impossible to achieve unless you, as a Hong Kong people, stand out. No matter which group you are in, we all, as Hong Kong people, have the power to change the current situation as long as you are ready to lend your helping hand. So, what are you waiting for?
