Homeschooling Chatroom: Home education in Hong Kong
Esther has worked with St. Stephen's Society for over 20 years in Hong Kong, pioneering their service with children and young people and helping drug abusers and families. She and her husband, Chan Cheuk Ho, also established a residential youth programme called "Gogetters".

She established "Go Kids", in which parents and their children explore learning together in a creative and informal environment for free.
