"Asia's World City" is a representation of Hong Kong that is perhaps lost on the vast majority of migrant youth in the city, who live below the poverty line, attend segregated schools and don't benefit from proper health care and education, all while trying to hurdle the many language and cultural barriers thrown up in front of them.

Pradyumn Dayal wants to change that and he aims to do it through a campaign.

"Move4Migrants is all about empowering ethnic minority/migrant youth so they can be integrated into local community," says the 16-year-old Hong Kong-born Indian.
