YOUNG PEOPLE URGED TO SERVE COMMUNITY
MORE EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE TO CULTIVATE THE SPIRIT OF SERVING OTHERS AND THE COMMUNITY AMONG OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND TO OPEN MORE AVENUES FOR THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE, LEGISLATIVE COUNCILLOR MRS ROSANNA TAM SAID TODAY (SATURDAY).
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE ON YOUTH WAS SPEAKING AT THE PRIZE PRESENTATION CEREMONY AND EXHIBITION OF THE 1987-88 HONG KONG BEST AWARD OF THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH SCHEME AT THE NEW WORLD PLAZA, TSIM SHA TSUI.
THE SCHEME, KNOWN AS OYS, IS OPERATED BY THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT ΤΟ ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE ΤΟ INITIATE AND IMPLEMENT INNOVATIVE SERVICE PROJECTS THROUGH GRANTS.
MRS TAM NOTED THAT VOLUNTEER TRAINING AND SERVICE USED TO BE A POPULAR ACTIVITY AT YOUTH CENTRES AS WELL AS AN IMPORTANT CHANNEL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY SERVICE.
HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAD APPEARED IN RECENT YEARS IN THAT THE TRAINING COURSES HAD DRAWN A POOR RESPONSE, WITH THE RESULT THAT SERVICE IMPLEMENTATION WAS AFFECTED BY A LACK OF VOLUNTEERS, SHE SAID.
SHE BELIEVED THAT AMONG YOUTHS STILL AT SCHOOL THE LACK OF INTEREST MIGHT BE DUE TO PRESSURE OF SCHOOL WORK AND EXAMINATIONS WHILE AMONG WORKING YOUTHS IT MIGHT BE A PREFERENCE то TAKE COURSES THAT WOULD BETTER THEIR WORK SKILLS RATHER THAN TO SERVE OTHERS.
