SUMMER CAMPS VISITED BY GOVERNOR
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, will visit two summer camps
in the New Territories on Thursday (July 27).
He will call first at Wu Kwai Sha, where 700 secondary school
girls are attending a six-day summer camp organised by the Education
Department at the YMCA Youth Village.
The campers are holding an Open Day on Thursday and in addition
to the normal programme of events, there will be games competitions, and
exhibitions of handicrafts and other projects undertaken in the camp.
After the visit the Governor will fly by helicopter to the
Princese Alexandra Community Centre in Tsuen Wan.
About 300 children, aged between 10 and 15, will be at play
as part of the Social Welfare Department's summer programme.
During an hour-long visit to the Centre, Sir Murray will see falk
dances, group singing, and ball games, which are all part of the 60-day
programme designed to give some constructive meaning to the leisure
of thousands of young people on holiday.
The Governor will be met on arrival at the Centre by Mr. Stephen
Law Chi-kin, Senior Principal Social Welfare Officer,and head of the Group
and Community Work Division.
