Mr. Paul Leung, officer in charge of the Unit, says the nine disabled
engaged in April by the Cosmos International Garment Manufacturing Company
Limited reflects the factory's continuing interest in this field. Since
the factory's first contact with the Unit in September 1969, it has employed
43 disabled, 30 of whom are still with the factory and are happy with their
work.
"The management hopes that we will continue to supply them with
trained workers, and to make placement easier, it has even provided training
material to the World Rehabilitation Fund Day Centre so that our trainees
wishing to join this factory will find it easier to move from practice to
actual work," Mr. Leung says.
"This is co-operation brought to a very high level of enlightenment,
and I hope it is the forerunner of similar gestures by other industrial
organisations in Hong Kong."
He is particularly pleased that the management maintains close
contact with the unit regarding problems arising out of its engagement of
the individual disabled, and he would also like to see this practice duplicated.
