WORK CAMP FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
A six-day youth camp, aimed at encouraging young people
to join in social work activities, is being sponsored by the Social
Welfare Department.
The camp, beginning on Monday (July 17), will be held on
Ma Wan, a small island off the west coast of the New Territories.
One of the projects to be undertaken by the campers will
be the construction of the first 400-foot portion of a pathway leading
from Lau Fa Village to the Ma Wan Fong Yuen Public School.
Apart from encouraging young people to be active in the
field of social work, the camp also seeks to instil in them an
appreciation of country life and to foster mutual understanding between
urban and rural youths.
