SUPPORT SOUGHT FOR CHILDREN'S WARD
****
THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR COLVYN HAYE, IS APPEALING TO SCHOOL CHILDREN TO MAKE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCHOOL CHILDREN'S WARD IN THE RUTTONJEE SANATORIUM.
THIS WARD OF 10 COTS IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN HONG KONG AND THE DONATIONS FROM SCHOOLS ENABLE CHILDREN ACCOMMODATED THERE TO RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THEM.
LAST YEAR, SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTED $525 138 WHICH MR HAYE DESCRIBED AS A +SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT AND A CREDIT TO ALL CONCERNED.
IN A GENERAL CIRCULAR TO SCHOOLS, HE EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THIS WARD BY INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE EFFORTS.
