"Magnet - Dim Sum / Siu Mai "

The word for Hong Kong‘s favourite food - dim sum - in Cantonese, means‚ touch the heart‘. These tiny handmade dim sum magnets carry that message in more ways than one. They‘re made in Hong Kong by people recovering from mental illnesses working in a sheltered workshop run by New Life, one of Hong Kong’s oldest rehabilitation agencies. In a safe space, people can learn skills, find therapy and make connection with others. For many who are overwhelmed by their illness and trouble in heart, it‘s a healing place indeed. Your purchase is supporting the rehabilitation of people in Hong Kong struggling with mental illness.
