CHANCE FOR YOUTH TO +REACH OUT+ ******
YOUNG PEOPLE IN YUEN LONG WILL BE ABLE TO REACH OUT+ BY PARTICIPATING IN THIS YEAR'S SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMME IN THE DISTRICT, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE YUEN LONG DISTRICT SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMME CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE, MADAM LEUNG SHING-TAK, SAID TODAY (SATURDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE YUEN LONG SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMME THIS EVENING, MADAM LEUNG SAID THE PROGRAMME WOULD GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT A GOOD OPPORTUNITY +TO GET TO KNOW HONG KONG+.
SHE SAID THAT OWING TO THE RELATIVE DISTANCE OF YUEN LONG FROM THE URBAN AREAS, YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT, ESPECIALLY PRIMARY STUDENTS IN THE MORE REMOTE VILLAGES, HAD LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER DISTRICTS.
+ IN VIEW OF THIS, WHEN WE WORKED OUT THE SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMME, SPECIAL EFFORTS WERE MADE TO INCLUDE VISITS TO VAR IOUS PLACES OF INTEREST IN THE URBAN AREAS, SUCH AS THE SPACE MUSEUM, A SOFT DRINKS FACTORY AND A BAKERY, SHE SAID.
THESE VISITS ARE AMONG SOME 135 ACTIVITIES BEING ARRANGED BY 29 ORGANISATIONS WITH FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE ROYAL HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB AND THE DISTRICT BOARD.
A YOUTH CONCERT BY THE HONG KONG CHINESE ORCHESTRA, PERFORMING POPULAR TITLES INCLUDING THE BUTTERFLY LOVERS+ CONCERTO, MARKED THE OPENING OF THE DISTRICT'S PROGRAMME.
OTHER OFFICIATING GUESTS AT THE OPENING CEREMONY WERE YUEN LONG DISTRICT BOARD CHAIRMAN. MR TAI KUEN- DISTRICT OFFICER, MR JAMES WILSON, AND VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE REGIONAL COUNCIL MR MA NING-HE 1.
