About

Description
Bangladesh Association of Hong Kong [BAHK] have been set up in October 2003 with support from the Bangladeshi community in Hong Kong. The main aim of BAHK is to promote Bangladeshi unity, culture and language in Hong Kong. This will also provide a venue for Bangladeshi children to learn their mother tongue, which is not taught in any local schools or institutions. BAHK is the first such centre in Hong Kong which aims to promote Southeast Asian culture and work as a bridging centre with other cultures. The centre will provide information about Bangladeshi culture (languages, music, dance etc.), promote reading and writing of basic Bengali, Arabic and other related languages. This will allow us to practice and strengthen our own culture and enhance our cultural heritage while we are in different cultural environment.
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.
