The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council has launched its services for children with special educational needs (SEN) since 1981. Given its solid experience in SEN services, Smile With Us HK, a voluntary organisation, formed by Ms Laurinda Ho and a group of young people who care about Hong Kong, has donated HK$2 million to support the Council’s Smile Fund to help SEN children.
Ms Seiko Lee, Service Director of the Welfare Council, thanked Smile With Us HK and Laurinda for their generous support for the Smile Fund at a press conference, which would allow 150 SEN students to receive relevant subvented services early. On the other hand, the Welfare Council would continue to provide services to around 40,000 local SEN children in the days ahead.
Laurinda hoped what they have done could draw the public’s attention to needs of SEN students and assist grass-roots families who faced long waiting times for government-subsidised rehabilitation services.
