Let's Chat Papa, Mama
‘‘Let’s Chat, Papa, Mama’ is a video series with real life stories from the ethnic minority community in Hong Kong.
The aim of this series is to address certain topics that relate to mental health and addiction issues, alternative careers, as well as the importance of education, of learning Cantonese, and of integrating one’s own faith-based practices into daily life while also immersing into local culture.
