SOCIAL WELFARE DIRECTOR TO VISIT CHILDREN'S PROJECTS
The Director of Social Welfare, Mr. K.W.J. Topley, will be visiting
two voluntary organisations tomorrow (Friday) afternoon to see some of
their children's programmes.
He will begin his tour by calling at the Kwai Fong Children's
Centre run by the Boys' and Girls' Clubs Association on the ground floor of
Block 8, Kwai Fong Housing Estate in Teuen Wan.
The Centre has a membership of 587 children and is one of the
Association's 80 service units. Among its facilities are a library, a
girls' craft centre and an electrical workshop.
Opened in January this year, its programmes include group
activities, interest groups and handicraft classes. The programmes are
geared to provide young people with opportunities to discover and develop
their personal resources of body and mind enabling them to become mature,
creative and responsible.
After an hour there, Mr. Topley will call at the Shek Lei Playground
to watch a play leadership scheme run by the Hong Kong Children's
Playground Association.
This project is one of nine similar ones which the Association
operates in playgrounds in different areas of Hong Kong. The programmes
include group activities, ball games, sports days, outings and so on.
