Reporters and photographers assigned to cover the visit should assemble at Queen's Pier, Hong Kong, not later than 10.20 a.m. Transport will be provided.

The association, which formerly operated as the Rehabilitation Division of the Hong Kong Council of

Social Service 1 is located on the ground floor of

to meet recurrent costs and expenses in connection with

the participation in the Heideburg Paralympic Games.
