About
- Description
- The New Voice Club of Hong Kong was founded by an English laryngectomee, Mr. O Greenhalgh with around 20 laryngeal cancer survivors in 1984. At the same time, the Club was formally registered as non-profit making organization under the Societies Ordinance. During the first phase of the establishment, the Club did not have resources, premise and staff. We could only organize monthly meeting in community centers and provide limited services to the members. In 1992, we began to receive subvention from the Community Chest of Hong Kong & the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. The New Voice Club of Hong Kong aimed at developing the self-help and mutual help spirit among the laryngectomees & the laryngeal cancer patients so as to help them to regain their normal speech & to reintegrate into the community; to fight for a better disability allowance; to launch social services; and to participate in anti-cancer activities.
- 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.
