MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL PARTY FOR ELDERLY
A party to celebrate the coming Mid-Autumn Festival will be held
on Sunday (September 9) for some 60 elderly people living in the Wanchai
district.
The party will be held at the premises of the Epworth Village
Community Centre's Hing Wah Division in Chai Wan.
It will include performances of a stage play and songs, games
and the presentation of gifts to the guests. The party is being organised
by the Wanchai Youth Social Service Team and sponsored by the Wanchai
District Community Office of the Social Welfare Department.
Mr. Ko Kai-man, District Community Officer (Wanchai), said this
is the first service project organised by the Wanchai Youth Social Service
Team following the end of their summer programmes.
"In addition to providing recreational activities for the elderly
people to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, this function is also intended
to give young people a chance to meet the elderly so that they may gain a
better understanding of their way of life and help promote more services
for them," he said.
Release time: 6.30 p.m.
