<p><strong>A New Chapter in Arts Education: AFTEC Launches “Evolving Creative Mindsets”</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>16 years of leadership distilled into a visionary guide for the city’s future</em></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>On October 28, 2025, Hong Kong’s arts education pioneer, AFTEC (The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection), officially launched its highly anticipated book, <em>Evolving Creative Mindsets: Thinking Through the Arts</em>. Held at the iconic Fringe Club, the event gathered educators, policymakers, and cultural leaders to discuss how systemic change can elevate Hong Kong’s competitive edge through creative learning. The book, authored by AFTEC CEO Ms. Lynn Yau, arrives at a pivotal moment, amidst global calls for stronger creative skills highlighted by the OECD’s latest assessments.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Yau emphasizes that arts are often seen as peripheral but are, in fact, crucial for nurturing innovation. &#8220;We need to move away from siloed thinking and build a true ecosystem where creative mindsets can flourish,&#8221; she asserts. Her insights draw from over 16 years of frontline work, showcasing real-world case studies that demonstrate how arts integration can reshape Hong Kong’s educational landscape.</p>

<p><strong>From Homework to Heart: The Personal Spark Behind a Visionary Change</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>An inspiring conversation with AFTEC’s CEO about her journey from curiosity to action</em></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In an engaging interview, Ms. Yau shares the personal roots of her passion: her two nieces’ school experiences. “I looked at their homework and thought, these answers are not bad. Why did they not get marks?” she recalls. This curiosity fueled her deep dive into primary and secondary education reform, revealing the systemic focus on rote learning that stifles creativity. Growing up in a traditional Hong Kong schooling environment, Yau realized that nurturing imagination and empathy through arts was essential for future resilience, especially in a world of rapid technological change.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>She reflects, “Harvard’s Project Zero in 2002/2003 transformed my thinking about inquiry-based learning. That single week inspired me to rethink how we motivate young people to learn.” Her conviction intensified as she saw action research as a tool to continuously refine her approach. “Every human is different; there’s no one answer,” she emphasizes, advocating for personalized, collaborative models of arts integration.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Building Creative Minds, Building a Better City</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>How arts foster well-being, resilience, and innovation in young people and professionals</em></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Yau highlights the profound impact of creative learning on mental health and social-emotional well-being. She recounts how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, arts engagement helped vulnerable youth build resilience, citing international research and her own case studies. “It took a global pandemic to start this conversation,” she notes. Her work demonstrates that arts are not just for entertainment; they are vital for mental health, fostering empathy, self-expression, and community.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>She also discusses the importance of role models, saying, “Artists and teachers must be trained together to cultivate trust and openness.” For example, her hospital collaboration with The University of Hong Kong’s medical faculty has successfully integrated arts into medical humanities, fostering empathy among future doctors.</p>

<p><strong>Reimagining Schools and Spaces: From Passive Observation to Active Engagement</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>Transforming museums, theatres, and classrooms into creative learning environments</em></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Yau advocates for dynamic &#8220;Sites of Creative Learning&#8221;; museums and performance venues that go beyond passive viewing to inspire inquiry and critical thinking. She envisions a future where such spaces become integral to everyday learning, helping students connect emotionally and intellectually with arts and culture.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Her blueprint emphasizes strategic human resource planning, proposing a “triumvirate” of audiences, schools, and practitioners to elevate Hong Kong as a global cultural hub. “Quality over quantity,” she insists, emphasizing sustainable investment in professionalized “Creative Practitioners” to ensure lasting impact.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>Breaking Barriers: Debunking Myths and Overcoming Challenges in Arts Education</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>Time, mindset, and funding—her solutions to the biggest hurdles</em></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>When asked about key challenges, Ms. Yau pinpoints &#8220;time&#8221; as the greatest obstacle; schools are often too pressed for hours to prioritize arts. “If the curriculum can be reduced by 20-30%, kids could benefit from more holistic development,” she suggests. She also stresses the importance of cultivating open-mindedness among educators and policymakers.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Regarding funding, she emphasizes that AFTEC’s work is a long-term investment, with continuous data collection and action research underpinning every project. “Supporting AFTEC isn’t just funding a program; it’s nurturing a think tank for sustainable innovation,” she affirms.</p>

<p><strong>A Vision for the Future: Growing the Creative Ecosystem Beyond Hong Kong</strong></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><em>Expanding impact through training artists, influencing policies, and fostering cross-sector collaboration</em></p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Yau’s ultimate goal is to scale up arts integration across Hong Kong and beyond. She calls for more training for artists interested in education and urges government bureaus to recognize creative learning as foundational to social and economic development. “Singapore already leads in this,” she notes, citing their early adoption as a model.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>She envisions a Hong Kong where creative thinking is embedded in every aspect of society; an adaptable, resilient city that maintains its competitive edge through the power of imagination and innovation.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Truly, Ms. Yau passionately invites the community to join her in this transformative journey: “The future starts now. We must sit side-by-side—educators, artists, policymakers, parents—and build a truly creative city.” Her book, <em>Evolving Creative Mindsets</em>, offers a comprehensive roadmap to turn that vision into reality.</p>

<p>Parmigiani is a shining example of understated beauty and superior watchmaking in a world where time is expensive and craftsmanship is an art. Every watch tells a tale of love, tradition, and creativity, which is personified by Guido Terreni, the CEO with a visionary path from Milan to the helm of one of the most prestigious watchmaking businesses.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>From Milan to the Heart of Swiss Watchmaking</strong></p>



<p>Guido Rainey’s story begins in the vibrant streets of Milan, where love and a fascination with watchmaking sparked his lifelong pursuit. Leaving Milano in 2000 for Switzerland, Guido’s passion grew into a career dedicated to the craft. With over two decades of experience, spanning legendary brands like Bulgari, he brought a wealth of knowledge, a deep respect for tradition, and a forward-thinking approach to Parmigiani.</p>



<p><strong>A Legacy Rooted in Heritage and Innovation</strong></p>



<p>Guido’s leadership is a delicate dance between honoring timeless traditions and embracing modern innovation. For Parmigiani, this balance is sacred. The brand’s philosophy centers around understated luxury; discretion, craftsmanship, and a profound respect for horological artistry. Guido’s vision: to create watches that transcend trends, that are destined to outlive their owners, and that speak softly but carry a profound message.</p>

<p><strong>The Tonda Collection: A Testament to Contemporary Elegance</strong></p>



<p>Under Guido’s guidance, the Tonda Collection has blossomed into a symbol of refined sophistication. Designed with a keen understanding of contemporary tastes, yet rooted in tradition, these watches exemplify subtlety and technical mastery. The secret? A focus on purity of design, balanced with innovative functions that enhance usability, such as dual time indicators and inventive calendar displays, delivering a seamless blend of form and function.</p>

<p><strong>Innovation with Respect for the Art</strong></p>



<p>Parmigiani’s dedication to R&amp;D is driven by a philosophy that innovation must respect the constraints of mechanical art. Whether it’s pioneering new functions like the generator or reinterpreting classic complications with a modern twist, Guido believes that true innovation elevates the craft without compromising its integrity. The brand’s color palette and aesthetic choices are subtle yet impactful, appealing to a younger generation of connoisseurs who value heritage but seek novelty.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>A Leadership Inspired by Heritage and Humanity</strong></p>



<p>Guido’s Italian roots influence his leadership, emphasizing emotion, beauty, and a holistic approach. He advocates for a harmony between technical rigor and artistic creativity, fostering a culture where craftsmanship and innovation coexist beautifully. His hobbies, motor biking and skiing, reflect his love for precision, presence, and adventure, qualities he brings to his role as steward of the Parmigiani legacy.</p>

The Magic of Dining Under the Stars at The Repulse Bay’s Wine Rally

<p>From a scent aficionado to founding Scented Niche, a hub for all niche scent and affiliated brands in 2018, Patrick has been committed to promote his passion and know-how on fragrance to audience who love distinctive fragrances.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Scented Niche believes that masterpieces take time and skills to create. There are diverse choices of perfume and affiliated products in the market, and some of their exquisite packaging also appealing.

Transforming Spaces with Passion and Precision: KS Studio Ltd.’s Exceptional Interior Designs in the Hong Kong’s Peninsula


<p>In the heart of Hong Kong Island lies a district where time folds into itself. Neither flashy nor loud, it pulsates with dignity. Here, dried seafood hangs above narrow shopfronts, incense curls above weathered temples, and older residents push carts through morning mist with a quiet rhythm that defines the neighbourhood.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image04-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88068" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image04-1.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image04-1-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image04-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image04-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image04-1-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>This is Sheung Wan, nestled adjacent to Central and spilling westward into Sai Ying Pun. It is an area rooted in tradition, refreshed by art, and animated by the resilient spirit of an ageing population whose daily labour – borne not out of necessity alone, but out of pride, habit and heart – has shaped its enduring charm.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/imgproxy-1-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88069" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/imgproxy-1-1.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/imgproxy-1-1-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/imgproxy-1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/imgproxy-1-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/imgproxy-1-1-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Historical Backbone</h3>



<p>Sheung Wan’s story begins at the very inception of modern Hong Kong. It was one of the first areas settled after British colonisation in 1842, and Possession Point, now memorialised in Hollywood Road Park, marks the literal birthplace of colonial Hong Kong. But before British flags fluttered here, Sheung Wan was already a thriving Chinese settlement, known for its maritime economy and bustling market culture.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image11.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88043" width="768" height="576" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image11.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image11-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image11-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image11-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image11-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>The streets whisper these layers of history. Old tenement buildings stand beside colonial façades. Tram bells echo through Des Voeux Road West, a stretch famous for its dried seafood vendors – a trade rooted in Sheung Wan’s seafaring legacy. You can trace the district’s origins in its smells, textures and street names: Wing Lok Street, Bonham Strand, Queen’s Road. Each one tells a story of migration, adaptation and diligence.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image06.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88045" width="768" height="576" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image06.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image06-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image06-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image06-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image06-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Age of Majority</h3>



<p>Perhaps the most poignant element of Sheung Wan’s character is its people – many of whom are ageing, yet tireless. As dawn unfolds over the harbour, you’ll find septuagenarians and octogenarians unlocking iron gates, brushing off delivery crates, and sweeping temple courtyards. These are not retirees tucked away in suburban flats; they are stewards of tradition, often running family businesses established decades ago. Their faces, lined with time, are maps of perseverance.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image01.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88046" width="768" height="576" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image01.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image01-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image01-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image01-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image01-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<p>Mrs Chan, who hand-selects scallops from massive burlap sacks outside her dried seafood shop, doesn’t rely on online inventory systems or marketing campaigns – just instinct and reputation. Mr Leung has operated a traditional herbal medicine shop in Wing Lok Street for 50 years, and his fingers move from ginseng root to deer horn with practised grace, embodying generational knowledge.</p>



<div style="height:17px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Sheung Wan’s older residents embody something rare: a lifestyle built on honest labour, personal connection and deep community ties. Their daily work is not nostalgic; it is essential. Without them, Sheung Wan would lose its pulse.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image07.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88048" width="768" height="576" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image07.jpg 1024w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image07-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image07-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image07-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/opt-Feature4_Oct2025_image07-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div>


<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Temples and Traditions</h3>



<p>Anchoring the district’s spiritual heritage is Man Mo Temple, constructed in the mid-1800s and dedicated to the gods of literature and war. Stepping inside feels like entering a living time capsule – burning incense spirals from the ceiling, red altars glint in flickering candlelight, and whispers of prayers hang in the air.</p>



<div style="height:17px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>It’s not uncommon to find elderly worshippers here in the morning, lighting incense for their grandchildren’s exam success or silently giving thanks for continued health. These mundane yet profound rituals bridge Sheung Wan’s historical past to its present, one gesture at a time.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/man-mo-temple-03.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-88050" width="720" height="540" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/man-mo-temple-03.jpg 960w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/man-mo-temple-03-373x280.jpg 373w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/man-mo-temple-03-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/man-mo-temple-03-200x150.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/man-mo-temple-03-800x600.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></figure></div>


<p>Around the corner, smaller altars and shrines tucked into alleyways honour local deities. These sacred spaces may not appear in guidebooks, but they are sacred touchstones for the community.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Creative Undercurrent</h3>



<p>While tradition anchors Sheung Wan, creativity gives it new breath. The district has quietly transformed into a hub for artists and designers who thrive amid its layered textures. At PMQ in Aberdeen Street, the former Police Married Quarters building has been reimagined as a home for innovation. Fashion designers, ceramicists and illustrators sell hand-crafted wares and host workshops alongside curated exhibitions. The juxtaposition is striking: sleek lines inside an ageing structure, just minutes from streets lined with antique calligraphy.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>Elsewhere, quiet corners boast vibrant murals, particularly along Sai Street and Upper Station Street, where spray-painted dragons and abstract portraits climb stone walls. These artworks are not just decorative; they speak to Hong Kong’s evolving identity, especially in a district like Sheung Wan that exists between permanence and transformation.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Culinary Layers</h3>



<p>Food in Sheung Wan is sensory storytelling. The district’s cuisine isn’t just about flavour, it’s about craftsmanship, memory and personal connection. A bowl of congee from a long-established eatery, like Sang Kee in Burd Street, is a cherished ritual. They don’t boast modern plating; they serve dishes rooted in ancestral recipes, made with hands that remember every step by feel. In places like this, such favourites as pork bone soup, shrimp wonton noodles and steamed sponge cake are assembled without fanfare, but with the care that only repetition and love can yield.</p>

<p>On the flip side, contemporary cafés reinterpret these traditions, blending French pastry techniques with Hong Kong culinary heritage to create chiffon cakes that feel both nostalgic and novel. The coexistence of time-honoured flavours and fresh interpretations reflects Sheung Wan’s cultural layering.</p>

<p>Whether it’s a tea-seller scooping dried leaves with a brass ladle or a young barista brewing single-origin espresso beside his grandmother’s joss sticks, food here is never just food – it’s a bridge between cultures and generations.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shops With Soul</h3>



<p>Forget the megamalls of Central – Sheung Wan’s shopping experience is deeply personal and idiosyncratic. G.O.D. (Goods of Desire) in Hollywood Road, for instance, offers witty designs inspired by quirky Hong Kong icons like neon signs, double-decker buses, and even nostalgic snack packaging.</p>



<div style="height:17px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Once the home of priceless antique shops, Sheung Wan presents treasure hunters with a more mass-market appeal. At Cat Street market in Upper Lascar Row, second-hand porcelain, vintage posters and kitschy oddities are sold at stalls manned by vendors who have collected for decades. Bargaining here isn’t just about price; it’s about stories.</p>

<p>The district also celebrates artisanship through brands like Loveramics, whose Tai Kwun shop purveys ceramic bowls that are part sculpture, part functionality. Here, the ageing art of porcelain-making gets a sleek, urban update.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Green Respites</h3>



<p>Amid its bustle, this stretch of the Western district offers rare moments of pause. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, facing Victoria Harbour in Sai Ying Pun, is a sanctuary of green. Elderly couples stroll its walkways in the early hours and practise tai chi. The park honours one of China’s great revolutionaries while serving as a day-to-day refuge for those seeking breath in a dense city.</p>

<p>Blake Garden, a small but popular space flanked by residential blocks at the back of Sheung Wan, is where old men gather for board games and gossip, and children play ball games. It’s proof that even in a city obsessed with progress, community spaces still matter.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Movement and Memory</h3>



<p>Sheung Wan moves at its own speed. While the MTR rushes people in and out, and the tram glides past dried fish stalls, the essence of Sheung Wan lies in the slower steps.</p>

<p>The Centre Street escalator, overshadowed by its bigger sister in Central, helps residents navigate the hillier parts of Sai Ying Pun. As you ascend, you pass laundry fluttering in alleyways, staircases sprayed with graffiti, and balconies holding generations of stories. It’s this vertical layering – both physical and metaphorical – that gives the district its depth.</p>



<p>To walk through Sheung Wan is to move through memory. It’s knowing that the woman heaping dried mushrooms onto her scales has been there for 40 years. It’s seeing time ripple through each stairway, each temple door, each steamer basket. And above all, it’s feeling the quiet resilience of a community where labour is love; and legacy isn’t just remembered, it’s lived.</p>
