FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION FOR FANLING RESIDENTS
*****
A THREE-DAY MOBILE EXHIBITION ON FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION BEGINS AT THE FANLING ROTARY YOUTH CENTRE, FANLING WA! TODAY (THURSDAY).
THE AIM OF THE EXHIBITION IS TO DRIVE HOME TO RESIDENTS OF THE NEW TERRITORIES THE CONCEPT AND SIGNIFICANCE OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION.
ITEMS ON DISPLAY WILL TOUCH ON, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE GENERATION GAP, FAMILY PLANNING, THE CHOICE OF CAREERS, WAYS TO HANDLE PROBLEM CHILDREN, AND HOW WORKING MOTHERS SHOULD LOOK AFTER THEIR CHILDREN.
DURING THE EXHIBITION, A SOCIAL WORKER WILL BE ON HAND TO ANSWER QUERIES IN CONNECTION WITH FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION AND PROBLEMS OF INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
THE PROJECT IS A JOINT EFFORT OF 13 SCHOOLS AND WELFARE AGENCIES IN THE NEW TERRITORIES AND IS CO-ORDINATED BY THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT'S FAMILY SERVICE DISTRICT OFFICE FOR THE NEW TERRITORIES AND THE COMMUNITY AND YOUTH OFFICE.
FOUR SIMILAR EXHIBITIONS WILL BE STAGED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE NEW TERRITORIES LATER THIS MONTH.

THE FINES, TOTALLING $25,950, RANGED FROM $100 TO $3,000.
