RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR CORRECTIONAL AND WELFARE INSTITUTIONS

A basketball competition for boys in correctional and welfare

institutions has been arranged during weekends from now until the middle

of August.

Teams from the Hong Kong Juvenile Care Centre, the Society of Boys'

Centres, the Begonia Road Boys' Home, Castle Peak Boys' Home, O Pui Shan

Boys' Home and the Kwun Tong Hostel will be playing against each other.

The matches will be played at the Ma Tau Wei Girls' Home at 464,

Ma Tau Wei Road in Kowloon every Sunday morning.

On the afternoon of the last day, August 12, there will also be

exhibition matches between girls of the Hong Kong Juvenile Care Centre and

the Ha Tau Wei Girls' Home as well as staff of institutions with teams

participating in the competition.

Any social worker or youth worker who is interested in watching

the matches is welcomed to attend.

The competition is one of an annual series of activities sponsored

by the Inter-Institution Activities Executive Committee, said Mr. Leung Kai-wah,

the Executive Secretary.

Mr. Leung said the committee is responsible for organising various

indoor and outdoor competitions and sporting events each year for the boys

and girls under the care of the various correctional and welfare institutions.

"The aim is to bring them together to help develop their mental and

physical state while at the same time promoting mutual understanding and co-

operation between the various institutions," he said,
