NEW ESTATE WELFARE BUILDING HANDED OVER TO S.W.D.
The Housing Department today (Wednesday) handed over to the
Social Welfare Department the keys of a new Estate Welfare Building
that has just been completed in the Lam Tin Housing Estate.
This is the second such building in the Estate, and will be the seventh which the Social Welfare Department is operating in different
Public Housing Estates.
As with the others, space in this new Estate Welfare Building will be allocated to various welfare organisations to provide a variety of services to people living in the surrounding area.
These services will include vocational classes and group activities,
a youth centre, a library, a day nursery and a pre-vocational training centre for mentally retarded children from 14 to 16 which the department will operate in addition to providing other services.
Situated in Kai Tin Road within the Estate, it will be known
as the Lam Tin Estate Welfare Building (West). The other Estate Welfare
Buildings already in use are located in Lam Tin (East), Shek Lei, Tsz Wan
Shan, Ngau Tau Kok and in Sau Mau Ping south and central.
