categorized from Primary One to Secondary Six. The comprehensive learning

registered charity whose main purpose is to help children affected by
their AIDS infected parents in some of the poorest rural areas in China because
of the scandalous blood selling practice. "Chi Heng" implies
"wisdom in action" with the beliefs of using knowledge to assist

thereby ensuring that no child is excluded and each child's needs are
fully addressed.
