REHABILITATION CENTRE FOR EX-MENTAL PATIENTS
A new hostel in Castle Peak for former mental patients will be opened
tomorrow (Saturday) by Mrs. D.C. Bray, wife of the District Commissioner, New
Territories.
The hostel is named after Mr. Woodman Lo, the founder chairman of
the New Life Farm Committee, which has been active in rehabilitating ex-patients
of Castle Peak Hospital for the past four years.
The hostel, capable of taking 20 people, has been built by residents
of the Farm with financial assistance from the Tai Ping Shan Lions Club.
It will provide a suitable environment in which ex-mental patients can
obtain guidance and learn to develop regular work habits which will eventually
enable them to find outside employment.
At the same ceremony, a car will be presented to the farm by the
Rotary Club of the New Territories.
Note to editors:
The ceremony will take place at 4 p.m.
at the New Life Farm, situated immediately behind
Castle Peak Hospital, 21 Milestone, Castle Peak
Road. You are cordially invited to send a photographer
and/or reporter to cover the event.
