HEAVY OFFICIAL ENGAGEMENTS FOR PRINCESS TOMORROW
Another heavy round of official engagements awaits Her Royal Highness
the fourth day of her official visit
Princess Alexandra tomorrow (Tuesday)
to Hong Kong.
She will visit two social welfare institutions in the morning.
Her first call will be at the Ebenezer School and Home for the Blind,
in Pokfulam, where blind children between five and 14 are sent.
She will visit the School's gymnasium, the housecraft room, classrooms
and the kindergarten.
After the tour, she will fly by helicopter to Kwun Tong for a visit
to the Red Cross Residential School which is named after her.
The School was set up ten years ago to provide primary education and
residential care for physically-handicapped children.
Emphasis is placed on children taking part in as many normal activities
as possible to prepare them for normal life after leaving the school. Extra-
curricular activities are varied and include picnics, scouting, camping and
swimming.
The Princess will be shown round classrooms and dormitories and see
children at work.
In the afternoon, the Princess, accompanied by her husband, the Hon.
Angus Ogilvy, will travel through the cross-harbour tunnel to Wong Tai Sin for
a visit to the Morse Park swimming pool complex.
