In conmunity service, 25 items are planned, including work camps,
rural observation and service teams, forestry work camps, and services
for the aged and handicapped. It is hoped that as a result of participation
in these activities, young people will learn how to derive personal
satisfaction from serving others.
About 120 items take into account indoor and outdoor group
activities. They include whole weeks of organised "summer clubs," where
members take part in indoor games, group songs, dances, and special
interests such as judo and karate lessons.
For the outdoors, there are holiday camps, track camps, launch
picnics, visits of observation, Army and Police camps held in conjunction
with the Department, day trips, overnight hikes, and short-term courses on
subjects such as canoeing and swimming.
Activities making up mass recreation include variety shows, competitions,
youth balls and fun fairs,
Community self-study items cover visits to factories in Tsuen Wan,
a project study at Kwun Tong, and in-depth looks at the communities in Tai
Hang Tung and the Western District.
Mr. Law Chi-kin, Senior Principal Social Welfare Officer, and Head
of the Group and Community Work Division says: "We believe we have come up
with a balanced and integrated programme for thousands of young people this
summer.
"The main aim is to give participants group experience, develop their
leadership potential, instil in them a sense of civic responsibility, and
mobilise them in community service."
