According to the demographics of Hong Kong in 2016, approximately 80,000 people of ethnic groups are South Asian, consisting mainly of Indian, Nepalese and Pakistani. Although many ethnic minorities people are born and raised in Hong Kong and speak fluent Cantonese, the mainstream society still holds a different view on them. They are not very good at reading and writing Chinese, and sometimes they may get teased by their classmates because of their skin colours. Afifa shared her experience, ‘Once when Manish and | were going home by MTR, a lady whom we didn't know pointed at us, saying we were dirty as she thought we don’t clean ourselves nor wash our hands.’ Manish added, 'She didn’t even know us. How could she say we are dirty? Anyone who walks on the street will get dusty somehow. Everyone's just the same, We decided to ignore her and not to give her any response.’ We are all the same These children, just like all of us, are concerned about things happening in Hong Kong and would walk into the community.

They were reluctant to speak as they were not good in Chinese. Through the services of our Centre, Chinese training and identity recognition activities, they have a better understanding about Hong Kong and develop a sense of belonging to the city. Now they are willing to take the initiative to pay attention to things about Hong Kong, acknowledging that they have the same obligations and rights like others. For example, after Typhoon Mangkhut ripped through Hong Keng last year, they suggested going out to clear up the streets. | was deeply touched by this,’ said Ms Che. These children regard themselves as true Hongkongers. They love the city, they like the food here, they like McDonald's and they like the country parks. They hope Hong Kong will continue to be a nice place with beautiful nature environment. ‘We hope people in Hong Kong will stop damaging the environment, and that they will stop discriminating us, because we are just the same as them We hope that together we can safeguard the things that we have in Hong Kong, making it a better place.’ @Bets Reet eet WRG 2016 FMSBAOME HI2XHADBREBAL ( PKS RRBA) 584,383 AAAS MAL MA LHIAAON 8% MHDUEDE - CARRERAS - MA+F ACM RGB 70% BESK FODRRBESBMWERRA : SG-ORAR BREA SUAPREE HE DBRS + "BREE, MURR + SINT BRIERE TE - According to the 2016 Population By-census of Hong Kong, approximately 92% of the population is Chinese (ethnically speaking, Han Chinese).

As a means of communication, art can allow the inner voice of these elderly to be heard. Over 10 participating young instructors were given related training and afterwards they organised art classes for elderly patients of nursing homes in various districts. Through different forms of creative art of different complexity levels, they help the elders to express feelings through art. Channis, one of the instructors, shared, ‘We start by using rather simple art tools or materials such as pastels or watercolors to make it easier for them to pick up various basic skills.’ On the day of the interview, the elders were making collages. They tore off photos or pictures they like from magazines, stuck on the drawing paper and presented their works to their team members. The photos they chose might be just some ordinary scenery photos, but together the photos formed very meaningful works that showed the flashbacks of their lives! Recognising the abilities of elders Illnesses severely undermine the self-confidence of the elderly and darken their moods, Channis remembers that in the beginning many elders were reluctant even to pick up the drawing tools. ‘They thought they couldn't do anything and wouldn't know how to create...'. To deal with this passivity, Channis and other instructors have thought of a way to break the ice, ‘Social workers gave us a tip: give the elder buddies a big, big smile. They will think you are nice and be more willing to take part in the activities.” APRADRRR ES Mt» OEM RRA SGI The artworks reveal the elders’ personality and the czeation process encourages ‘them to share memories of their lives.A HEFT ABE ATARAURM OARRTREH {Bik 45UH A - The Salration Army social workers help instructors to organise large-scale exhibitions, displaying the cdr’ artworks and the stories whi, Hh BHRAST BE-NABA MAB GF alte + Miss Channis RH SBR eM SAS: RRA TS FRA > Channis RaSh MRSS » tA Be ETRRABAID “SRARBRSAN BE PHRASE SR BEMHMASR » RSUY MAME + REL RMBFSSMTAR AD,S 2, BASKTELA—GRBRARAN ED? 1 @ Smiles convey happiness, which is contagious and helps build mutual trust. Gradually, the passive elders became more proactive and willing to participate in the activities. They started creating their work as soon as they received the drawing tools and what moves Channis most was seeing some elders helped the physically weaker residents to take part in the activities. After getting along with the elders for 10 lessons, Channis has witnessed their changes and realised that getting old doesn’t necessarily mean losing creativity. ‘What the elder buddies need most is the assurance from the people around. There's no such thing as standard answer in art therapy. Every piece of work is unique and meaningful that expresses the personalities and views of the artist. During the classes, we call the elders by their names directly without addressing them “grandpa” or “granny”, as age shouldn't become a label that defines one’s abilities.’ @ ATRIA ASD LASS | ARPA REREAD ME TORS (A EBA BHEBS ) BH ° JER RES Sit SHRAAMSEN SORELLE A EB EGTA OBER + AMEE « The Project organises young people of post-secondary education qualification or above to use their knowledge and skills in response to the needs of elderly (especially dementia patients) in aging society nowadays.
