Efficacy of the Project

The preliminary findings of the CARing Kids research and implementation team at the University of Hong Kong indicate that the cognitive abilities, empathy and hyper-active behaviour of students participating in the programme have all registered obvious improvements. The findings of focus groups also indicate that students’ self-control, care of life and reading skills have improved.
