Sunday, July 2, 1972

In conmunity service, 25 items are planned, including work camps,

rural observation and service teams, forestry work camps, and services

for the aged and handicapped. It is hoped that as a result of participation

in these activities, young people will learn how to derive personal

satisfaction from serving others.

About 120 items take into account indoor and outdoor group

activities. They include whole weeks of organised "summer clubs," where

members take part in indoor games, group songs, dances, and special

interests such as judo and karate lessons.

For the outdoors, there are holiday camps, track camps, launch

picnics, visits of observation, Army and Police camps held in conjunction

with the Department, day trips, overnight hikes, and short-term courses on

subjects such as canoeing and swimming.

Activities making up mass recreation include variety shows, competitions,

youth balls and fun fairs,

Community self-study items cover visits to factories in Tsuen Wan,

a project study at Kwun Tong, and in-depth looks at the communities in Tai

Hang Tung and the Western District.

Mr. Law Chi-kin, Senior Principal Social Welfare Officer, and Head

of the Group and Community Work Division says: "We believe we have come up

with a balanced and integrated programme for thousands of young people this

summer.

"The main aim is to give participants group experience, develop their

leadership potential, instil in them a sense of civic responsibility, and

mobilise them in community service."
