SERVICES FOR THE ELDERLY IN SAU MAU PING

A dance party will be held at the Kwun Tong Community Centre on

Saturday (October 20) to raise funds to finance entertainment programmes

for elderly people in the Sau Mau Ping area.

The function has been organised by the Sau Mau Ping (South) Estate

Community Work Office of the Social Welfare Department and other welfare

agencies in the district.

One of the regular programmes run by the office for the elderly

is a social gathering which takes place every Tuesday afternoon from

3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Estate Welfare Building. Activities at the

gathering include games, tea parties, observational visits and picnics.

"These activities involve youth volunteers in long term service

to help elderly people and also create a better working relationship among

the local agencies," said Mr. Wong King-tong, Warden of Kwun Tong Community

Centre.
