CAPITAL GRANT TO SOCIETY FOR PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
A capital grant of $80,000 has been allocated from the
Lotteries Fund to the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children
for laundry equipment.
The Society operates eight creches throughout Hong Kong with
a total capacity of more than 500 places.
The daily laundry load of diapers, towels and linen is very
heavy and the existing equipment is quite inadequate.
In order to handle the heavy load more efficiently, 17 new
washing, drying and extractor machines were installed in these
creches last month.
These machines should promote efficient operation and ease
staff problems.
