RESEARCH PROJECT FOR YOUNG VOLUNTEERS

A research project for young volunteers is under way at the Shek Li

resettlement estate at Kwai Chung to determine the social services needs of the

residents there.

A group of about 30 young people from the Lai Ching Club at the estate

has been distributing leaflets about the project and making visits to householders.

They have already called on about 250 families at Shek Li and plan to

visit a similar number by Friday (August 11).

The project will not only help to determine the effectiveness of

the social welfare programme already offered at the estate, but will benefit

the volunteers by getting them to know the community in which they live through actual contact with the people.

The Shek Li Estate Community Work Office of the Social Welfare Department

is sponsoring the survey.
