RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR CORRECTIONAL AND WELFARE INSTITUTIONS
A basketball competition for boys in correctional and welfare
institutions has been arranged during weekends from now until the middle
of August.
Teams from the Hong Kong Juvenile Care Centre, the Society of Boys'
Centres, the Begonia Road Boys' Home, Castle Peak Boys' Home, O Pui Shan
Boys' Home and the Kwun Tong Hostel will be playing against each other.
The matches will be played at the Ma Tau Wei Girls' Home at 464,
Ma Tau Wei Road in Kowloon every Sunday morning.
On the afternoon of the last day, August 12, there will also be
exhibition matches between girls of the Hong Kong Juvenile Care Centre and
the Ha Tau Wei Girls' Home as well as staff of institutions with teams
participating in the competition.
Any social worker or youth worker who is interested in watching
the matches is welcomed to attend.
The competition is one of an annual series of activities sponsored
by the Inter-Institution Activities Executive Committee, said Mr. Leung Kai-wah,
the Executive Secretary.
Mr. Leung said the committee is responsible for organising various
indoor and outdoor competitions and sporting events each year for the boys
and girls under the care of the various correctional and welfare institutions.
"The aim is to bring them together to help develop their mental and
physical state while at the same time promoting mutual understanding and co-
operation between the various institutions," he said,
