We had two exciting events in January and February this year. On Sunday 28th January at 10.00am we grouped together along the harbour for a family walk from Wanchai Ferry Pier to Central Pier. It was a wonderful turnout with children of all ages and plenty of our four legged friends joined.
On Wednesday 21st February between 6.30pm - 8.00pm we hosted our first parental workshop in collaboration with The Child Development Centre (CDC) at their centre in North Point. The workshop was delivered in both Cantonese and English and provided an opportunity for families to learn a number of positive behaviour strategies to adopt when faced with challenging behaviour from their children
With help and support A Little Bit Extra is planning and hoping to change lives in Hong Kong and all across Asia. With Hong Kong as our base what we achieve in this magical city will positively affect lives across the region as the charity expands.
Your donations will assist in changing the lives of children and families who will be able to use our resources and services throughout the year. Funds raised will also be used to create programmes, events and activities to enrich the lives of our families.
