Description
Keith Addison and Midori Hiraga founded Handmade Projects NGO in Hong Kong in 1998 to organize the Journey to Forever project, moved into the old Beach House canteen in Pui O village on Lantau Island and made it the project headquarters.
"I left South Africa 25 years ago, for political reasons," he says. "I worked for the black press there, until 1976, the year of the Soweto Uprising. It was led by schoolkids. All over the country black schoolkids went on strike and took to the streets in protest at the apartheid system.
"The response was vicious -- the police shot at least 2,000 black schoolchildren that year. It wasn't really a surprise, I'd seen it coming, but it was a hell of a shock just the same. And it didn't leave any hope for peace -- you can't expect people to be reasonable after you shoot their children in the streets. So I left, and came here to Hong Kong. I've spent most of my time around here and in Europe since then.
