Hong Kong rocks - but some people have great ideas tomake it even better 

By Jennifer Lo

Hong Kong is a multi-cultural, multi-layered city full of inspired individuals wholove their home. We don't always get a chance to express that love in a waythat improves our community; but a programme set up by the Li Ka Shing

Foundation is a chance to redress that balance. The "Love Ideas Love HK"scheme welcomes community-centric ideas from Hongkongers who want tomake the city an even greater place.A number of these schemes are being proposed or run by young people, or benefit teenagers, such as a scheme by students at Diocesan Girls' School toenhance relations between local Hong Kong teens and their cultural minoritycounterparts, or Operation Breakthrough's plan to buy a bigger bus to ferryunderprivileged youngsters to sporting events.We look at three of our favourite youth-led projects.
