About
- Description
- Access HK was set up in 2001 by a group of Hong Kong students at leading U.K. and U.S. universities who felt strongly about equal opportunities and were dedicated to improving the education of children in Hong Kong. Vision: Access HK has organized a number of projects to help underprivileged children in Hong Kong. Every summer, Access HK’s volunteers, mostly students studying at overseas universities, return to Hong Kong to give a free summer school to children in need. Access HK also recruits young professionals to run a free weekend tuition program known as “Teach an Hour” and a careers program known as “A Day in the Life of…”, during which children are given the opportunity to shadow someone in a career in which he or she is interested. Access HK works with primary schools situated in some of the most economically deprived districts in Hong Kong, and strive to boost students’ learning interest and English language skills. To date, Access HK served over 1,000 children in need.
- For over 25 years FOCUS has been a trusted resource for Hong Kong parents, educators and medical professionals seeking to learn how to better support the academic and social lives of children with mainstream learning differences. FOCUS aims to improve educational and life outcomes of children with AD/HD and SpLD by expanding understanding and raising awareness of what it means to have a mind that learns differently Our mission is is to improve the education of mainstream students who are challenged by Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) by providing accurate evidence-based information, practical strategies and support to parents and professionals in education and healthcare and by improving understanding of how learning differences impact youth both emotionally and academically.
