SWEARING-IN OF YOUTH TEAM COMMITTEE

The fourth swearing-in ceremony of committee members of the Wan Chai

Youth Social Service Team will take place at the Lady Trench Training Centre

on Sunday (March 25) at 3 p.m.

Mr. Ko Kai-man, the Social Welfare Department's District Community

Officer in Wan Chai, said today that the team was made up of students and

young workers who devoted much of their leisure time to organising recreational

and educational activities.

Since the team was established in 1969 its members have taken part

in summer youth programmes, work camps, the Clean Hong Kong campaign and visits

to homes for the aged and for children.

Their voluntary efforts have won recognition from local residents

and community leaders.

Mr. Ko said that he hoped other young people would be inspired by

the team's example and join in the various activities which are arranged,
