THE JOINT VENTURE +CLEAN THE VILLAGE DAY+ HAS BEEN ORGANISED TO AROUSE THE INTERESTS AND CONCERN OF THE VILLAGERS ABOUT CLEANLINESS AND HYGIENE IN THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT, AND TO BRING ABOUT BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THEM.
IT ALSO AIMS TO GIVE THE PROBATIONERS OF THE HOSTEL, WHICH IS RUN BY THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT, AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE BETTER AND MORE MEANINGFUL USE OF THEIR LEISURE HOURS, AND TO CONTRIBUTE IN COMMUNITY SERVICES.
THE CLEAN-UP PROJECT IS INITIATED BY TWO STUDENTS OF THE INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL WORK TRAINING, MISS CHAN WAH-YING AND MR. TO SZE-KWONG, WHO HAVE ENGAGED THEMSELVES IN A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE CHAI WAN KOK VILLAGE.
FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS, THEY HAVE BEEN HELPING VILLAGERS IN THE AREA TO APPLY FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND DISABILITY AND INFIRMITY ALLOWANCES, ORGANISING VILLAGE COMMITTEES TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND SETTING UP TUITION CLASSES FOR PRIMARY PUPILS.
TWO VILLAGE REPRESENTATIVES, MR. IP WONG AND MR. LAW SHING, AND THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE KWÜN TONG HOSTEL, MR. K.K. LIU, WILL LEAD THE RESIDENTS AND PROBATIONERS IN THE CLEANING OPERATION.
