editor’s Letter
who’s in charge?
Life as a new parent is overwhelming. Honestly, I didn’t understand the full extent of this statement until I actually became a parent. Nine months in, I’m finding my way with the support of some fabulous brands and services in Hong Kong. This month, I’m thrilled to announce the winners of our Parent & Baby Awards (I believe, the first of its kind in Hong Kong). Through the awards, we celebrate the brands that make parenting that little bit easier. In this issue, we also head to Stamford American School Hong Kong as they celebrate their third anniversary and unveil brand new facilities. Meanwhile, our founder (and current Bali correspondent) Tom Hilditch meets the Harvard grads who are redesigning education for a new age in Ubud. Join us on February 4 to meet the winners of our Parent & Baby Awards over an afternoon tea at Maggie & Rose in Causeway Bay. Tickets available on our website. Look forward to seeing you there.
