ANTI-LITTER DAY AT SAU MAU PING
Voluntary Effort By 1,000 Students On May 5
One thousand students from schools and organisations in the
Sau Mau Ping area have chosen Friday, May 5, as the anti-litter day
for the Sau Mau Ping Resettlement Estate.
On that day, they will go out in groups of 40 not only to give
the area a general clean-up, but also to persuade residents in the multi-
storey blocks to stop littering the neighbourhood.
The persuasion will take the form of door-to-door appeals, and
the chief line of argument will be that resettlement estates will be as
healthy, and as pleasant, only in so far as the residents themselves are
determined that they should be.
The one-day drive is being organised by the Social Welfare
Department's Sau Mau Ping Central and South Estate Community District
Offices.
Thireteen organisations and schools in the area are participating,
including the Sau Mau Ping Estate Office of the Resettlement Department.
