About

Description
The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission started the work of Ling Oi in 1970. Our halfway house helps young men who had completed a drug rehabilitation treatment to re-integrate into the society. In the 1980’s, the drug problem was getting more severe. In 1984, we started our gospel rehabilitation centre in Tan Ka Wan, Sai Kung. The treatment centre now can serve 40 young persons and the halfway house can serve 34 persons. Now, Ling Oi provides a holistic rehabilitation for male drug addicts. Our services include outreaching service, rehabilitation treatment, social re-entry halfway lodging service, family support and counseling service, and aftercare services.

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.
