What an upgrade from the current version of tutormentorconnection.org! It’s fantastic that (eventually) my work will actually be used by real people to satisfy their needs. That the site aims to improve the lives of impoverished children only adds another level of reward to this project.

Here are some photos from the current gallery exhibition in Hong Kong.
