Lion Rock is a sparsely topped mountain overlooking Kowloon – the home of many grassroots families. It is the symbol of Hong Kong, in particular its “can-do” spirit; the “source” of our team and the families we serve. We hope to offer a pool of resources for children in emotional turmoil to draw from.
