Fill
We fill first with love, then with knowledge.
Everything we do at CantoGather must first begin with love — ultimately, our CantoGatherers and CantoGatherees are siblings walking and growing with one another.
We fill our CantoGatherers with knowledge about our non-Chinese neighbours in Hong Kong.
We fill our CantoGatherees to master Chinese and with knowledge about Hong Kong and its Chinese neighbours.
