In the past four years, a total of 763 disabled were admitted into
the Centre for training or sheltered work, and 221 were placed in "open"
employment.
At tomorrow's ceremony, Mrs. Marden will present certificates of
merit to 12 manufacturers as a recognition of their community spirit in
engaging the largest number of disabled for their factories.
Many industrialists, commercial firms and government departments
have also taken on the disabled for a variety of tasks.
"It is hoped," says Mr. Ko, "that these awards will stimulate other
employers to do the same."
After the ceremony, the Centre will be opened to the public, from
11 a.. to 12.30 p.m., and then again from 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.
Note to Editors:

ceremony covered. This is to start at 10.30 a.m. The Centre is located at 487 Kwun Tong Road,
