STUDENTS FROM FOUR SCHOOLS IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF HONG KONG ISLAND ARE AT THE MOMENT CO-OPERATING IN A USED TEXTBOOK EXCHANGE SCHEME TO HELP THEIR PARENTS SAVE ON THE COST OF NEW TEXTBOOKS FOR THE NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR.

IN THIS SCHEME, THE STUDENTS FROM THE CLEMENTI MIDDLE SCHOOL, GRAMMER COLLEGE, ISLAMIC COLLEGE, AND LITERARY COLLEGE ARE EXCHANGING TEXTBOOKS AMONG THEMSELVES.
UNLIKE OTHER TEXTBOOK EXCHANGE SCHENES STUDENTS IN THIS PROJECT ARE ALSO BEING TAUGHT THE PLANNING, OPERATING AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES SO THAT NEXT SUMMER THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE A SIMILAR SCHEME IN THEIR SCHOOLS, SAID MR. LAM KWOK-WAN, THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT'S COMMUNITY AND YOUTH OFFICER FOR EASTERN DISTRICT WHO PLANNED THE SCHOOL PROJECT WITH THE BACKING OF THE SCHOOL AUTHORITIES.
THE OFFICE OF THE C.Y.O. (EASTERN) AT ROOM 707: CAUSEWAY BAY MAGISTRACY BUILDING IS BEING USED AS THE EXCHANGE CENTRE.
MR. LAM SAID MORE THAN 70 STUDENT VOLUNTEERS ARE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT AND FOR MANY OF THEM IT IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE PARTICIPATED IN ANY VOLUNTEER SERVICE.

HE HOPED THAT MORE SCHOOLS WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SUCH PROJECTS.
