Here is a report from the Hong Kong Ming Pao on the model:

[Ming Pao News] One of the key points of the forthcoming policy address is to solve the problem of intergenerational poverty. Three new immigrant women said that their biggest wish was that they didn't want their children to take their own hardships again, but as parents, facing the requirements of computerization and multiple intelligence education, there was nothing they could do. Some NGOs have designed an "opportunity project" transformation plan to provide poor children with EQ tutoring, cram schools, and general education. Three months after the launch, the children's performance has made a great leap forward, and the barbarous boy knows how to care about others. A mother said frankly, "You give me money, you can't give me a social worker. I don't know how to help me, and the social worker will know.

Opportunity Project to help poor children

New immigrants Lin Tai, Ms. Liu, and Ms. Chen live in Sham Shui, a poor and hard-hit area? (A quarter of the population in the area are poor households). Their husbands are cleaners or unemployed. They come to life in Hong Kong after they come to Hong Kong. "I have to worry about two meals. It s impossible for my child to go home after school and buy from the street." They said in unison, "I do nt want my child to do so hard like my dad in the future. I hope they can read and do a comfortable job."

But how to make your children mature and out of poverty? Ms. Liu said with a smile, "I do nt know any traditional Chinese characters, but I do nt know how to teach in English." Understand that to be competitive, you cannot rely on hard work alone. Lin Tai said: "Make more friends, see more, participate in more activities, and not read dead books." Three months ago, they contacted the "opportunity project" service of the Boys 'and Girls' Clubs. Participation is available, after Monday to Friday after school, there are social, study, emotional counseling.

Ms. Liu's 7-year-old daughter Qingqing said she likes to teach me to be happy. Lin Tai s 7-year-old son, Long Tsai, said, If I do nt have a center, I d be acquainted. Someone teaches me to do my homework here, but the school does nt. He also said that he volunteered as a football player, like idol Bi Xian, Be sure to learn English well before you can go to other countries to talk to Bobo fans? ". Ms. Chen's daughter repeatedly said, "I don't know my homework, my sister will trouble me, but the girls here don't."

Savage kid learns to care about others

Ms. Liu said that her daughter's performance in English dictated books has improved by leaps and bounds, and the dictated books have improved from 50 to 90 points. Lin Tai said that Long Tsai, who was once a "barbaric kid", matured. "I used to rely on it, and I wanted to pour my face and cleansing water, but when I came here, he knew how to care for others. I was not comfortable. I see a doctor. "In addition, the center also arranged a 10-yuan parent-child tour group to allow children to visit the Peak and Ocean Park with their parents at a low cost.

In addition to her happy children, her mother also received help. Lin Tai was very frustrated when her husband lost his job, and the social workers listened to her.

The reporter asked if they could give them money to help them "teach" Some social workers are better Ms. Chen said: "You give me money, you can't give me a social worker. I don't know how to help me, and the social worker will know."
