STUDENT GROUPS TO INSPECT WELFARE FACILITIES

The Social Welfare Department has invited five student

organisations to spend a few hours this summer inspecting departmental

facilities for the young, the mentally-retarded and the disabled.

Invitations have been issued to the Hong Kong University Students' Union,

the Chinese University Students' Union, the Baptist College Students' Union, the

Hong Kong Federation of Students, and the Federation of Catholic Students.

The invitation says that as some of the students plan a career

in social welfare, it is useful that they be given an opportunity to

see for themselves the Department's staff in action in various fields.

Four or five tours are planned between the end of June and the

end of August, and it will be possible to arrange transport for between

20 and 30 at a time. Each tour is expected to take in three or four

institutions.
