CAMP FIRE PARTY TO CELEBRATE CHILDREN'S DAY
About 180 children, parents and young people will be taking part
in a camp fire party at the Social Welfare Department's Wong Tai Sin Community
Centre tomorrow (Wednesday) between 8 and 9.30 p.m. to celebrate children's day.
Performances will be given by the children and they will be participating
in games organised by young members of the centre.
The aim is to foster parent-child relationships, and provide youth
members with an opportunity for community involvement and leadership development.
A talk dealing with the role of parents will be given by Mr. Chow
Yat-yu, chairman of the Hong Kong Subsidised Primary Schools Headmasters
Association.
Children's day events are also being organised for about 500 children
by the Sau Mau Ping (South) Community Work Office of the Social Welfare
Department, in conjunction with local welfare agencies and schools.
Preliminary rounds in a children's talent contest will take place
tomorrow in morning and afternoon sessions in the hall of the Sau Mau Ping
(South) Estate Welfare Building.
Thirty entrants will be selected for the finals which will be staged
in the hall between 3.30 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 7.
There will also be a children's games day on Saturday at the estate's
football pitch between 2 to 3.30 p.m.
