Hello
Our mark is a bloom. Each petal stands for people this work brings together, and each keeps its own colour. Choose a petal to see who it stands for.
We are local Hong Kong and ethnic minority young people in one team, supported by Fun-Tastic, a registered charity in Hong Kong.
Together we show up for the wider community: at an eye screening for seniors, at the Legislative Council, in a conversation on AI and education.

dated events on our record so far

Every number here comes from a dated event on our record.
These are our three aims. Under each one is the dated work behind it so far.
Young people, whatever their background, heard where decisions are made and trusted with real skills.
Seniors looked after by the young people of their own city: patiently, face to face, and with the right training.
A Hong Kong where refugees and people from ethnic minority communities are not only welcomed but relied on: as volunteers, as speakers, as teammates.
We have not yet worked with refugees. That is the next step for this aim.
We add an event to our record only after it has happened.
Sheung Shui
By invitation of the Lions Club, our volunteers supported free eye screening for seniors at the Eye Care and Traditional Chinese Medicine Wellness Carnival in Sheung Shui, and stayed throughout the event.
Caring for Seniors
Legislative Council Complex, Admiralty
At a forum organised by HKCECES in the Legislative Council Complex, our youth members spoke in the CECES Youth Ambassador sharing session. Local Hong Kong and ethnic minority young people stood side by side.
Empowering Youth
IAIE World Conference 2025, Hong Kong
At the 2025 World Conference of the International Alliance for Invitational Education, in Hong Kong, our Project Director, Michael Kalyan, interviewed Dr John Ivers of Brigham Young University-Idaho about education in the age of AI and quantum computing.
Empowering Youth
In September 2026 our Project Director led three trainings for Fun-Tastic’s free eye screening programme. New volunteers and secondary school students learned what a screening day asks of them, one station at a time.

students trained on 22 September 2026, at a Fun-Tastic session led by our Project Director
The figure for 22 September is Fun-Tastic’s own count: more than 20 students.
These are the four stations that volunteers rehearsed on 26 September 2026, at the Fun-Tastic training our Project Director led.
Step 1
Welcome each senior and help with the forms. Explain that the photographs are for screening only, and ask for consent.
Step 2
Check the details, clean the equipment, help the senior sit comfortably, and photograph both eyes.
Step 3
Go through the result in plain words and give advice. If something is flagged, remind the senior to see an eye specialist soon.
Step 4
Help each senior download their screening report, and introduce the benefits of Fun-Tastic membership.
AI-assisted retinal screening is a risk screen, not a medical diagnosis. It does not replace an examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
Each organisation is named with the part it played.
Give a day, bring your school or company, or donate.
No experience needed. For screening days with seniors, training comes first.
Schools, charities and companies: most of our record is work done alongside others.
Choose an amount, and we reply by email with bank transfer and PayMe details.
Volunteer, bring your school or company, or simply say hello.
