About Us
Ching Ching Ho is a well-known Australian actor, director, and producer, but he's also known for having a thing for working with kids.
He's currently doing just that in his home state of Victoria, where he's working with students from pre-school to high school as part of the state's Creative Learning Partnerships program, the BBC reports.
The idea is to give kids a taste of what it's like to be an artist, so they can then apply to become one of the 1,500 "creatives" who've worked at 1,200 schools since 1982, according to a press release.
