Making local food together

Volunteers held a local cultural tour to Wong Tai Sin Temple and shared local food together with ethnic minorities. Through the project, it is hoped to break the cultural barriers that stand between ethnic minorities and local residents, and to help the minorities integrate into the Hong Kong community.

Description

Interesting. Exciting. Meaningful. I think it is very impressive to look at those minorities and talk with them. Everybody is different. We can't use only one method to deal with all kinds of matter.

This was a rare chance to spend a day with young ethnic minority children. I learnt a lot about their cultures and got to know more about them. They are energetic and curious about everything, which I appreciated and need to learn. I look forward to meeting them in the future.
