I am currently working on a research project about an Italian Catholic priest, Father Enea Tapella (達碑立神父) from the (Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions, PIME), who spent his good years in Hong Kong between 1957 and 1977, and was renowned with his unselfish contribution to mentally handicapped children in Hong Kong.  In those years not only support for this group of people, and their parents, were very limited, they were also subject to unfair discrimination by other people.  Father Tapella initiated volunteer groups in several parishes he served in Hong Kon
