In a few days, this little project turns six years old. Did I ever think I’d start this in Hong Kong— where the business climate can be severe to simple people like Carsten and me? No, it was a scary prospect to commit to.
And yet, I always knew it was a calling. If you have something to share, you will never be at peace until you’ve given that which others need. In the past six years, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve laughed and cried for it.
In turn, we’ve received more than what we asked for. Children we’ve watched bloom in confidence, parents and caregivers whom we have celebrated and affirmed, and the success of people we have painstakingly trained and supported. Through it all, the paradox is true— the more emptied out you are, the more filled you are, too.
In our own little way, we have succeeded in what we dreamed of— celebrating talent, building community, and fostering empowerment. This we did, while staying true to our core— being an ecosystem of expression and creativity.
2019 and 2020 were exceptionally tough years. And yet, we survived because people believed that what we do matters.
The strength and faith we’ve received from others has been humbling. It made me realise that whatever we started has taken on a life of its own. I believe that we will always find the strength and energy, for as long as we keep sight of the mission we committed to.
In celebration of our six years— and our hope for many, many more— we are putting an emphasis on our work with our community.
The pandemic has shown us how finite life can be. Therefore, what we do each day matters. How proud we are of the work we do, how we can face ourselves in the mirror with the integrity with which we’ve made our decisions, and how we care to make the world— or at least our community— a little bit better than we first found it.
Wish us luck, for we have a long way to go. And thank you for your love and support this far— you all know who you are ❤️
