Who are the Unsung Heroes?

-

The Unsung Heroes is a choir made up of domestic workers. There are about 360,000 of these workers in Hong Kong. Many work long hours as “maids” despite the fact they may have tertiary qualificat­ions in areas like engineerin­g, teaching, science, accountanc­y, and more. They’ve often made the ultimate sacrifice: leaving their children and families to earn higher wages in Hong Kong, to provide a better life for their loved ones back home.
