There's a lot happening these days in the news with Hong Kong, and I wanted to share some of the amazing work that happens here that doesn't make the headlines. The Music Angel Orchestra (www.myohk.org/a...) is an ensemble comprised of young musicians on the autism spectrum. Teachers work together in order to give these individuals an opportunity to express themselves musically and to show that their capability for personal excellence is greater than the "labels" society place upon them. The Moon Represents my Heart is a classic Chinese love song--it depicts a type of gentle love that sheds light within the darkness of night. Seeing work like this, these citizens of Hong Kong shine bright amidst the challenges in their way. It also reminds me that there are amazing humans around the world who are doing all they can to improve the lives of children, living an excellence that is only engendered through selflessness, humility and a whole lot of patience! :)
