LADY MACLEHOSE TO VISEF KOWLOON WELFARE AGENCIES
Lady MacLehose will visit three welfare agencies in Kowloon
tomorrow morning (Tuesday) in her capacity as President of the Community
Chest of Hong Kong.
She will be accompanied by Miss Susan Hume, Social Secretary of
Government House, and Mr. Colin Morrison, Executive Director of the Chest.
During her tour of St. Thomas' Day Nursery, Un Chau Street Day
Care Centre and St. Joseph the Worker Clinic, Lady MacLehose will see for
herself the daily work of the welfare agencies.
St. Thomas' Day Nursery located at 45 Berwick Street, Shanshuipo,
provides a feeding programme and medical care for children suffering from
malnutrition,
The nursery accommodates some 60 children who are given two
balanced meals a day as well as milk drinks. A doctor pays weekly visits
to the nursery to keep an eye on the progress of the children under care.
The Un Chau Street Day Care Centre, situated at the Un Chau Stroet
Estate, is one of five day care centres run by the International Rescue
Committee.
The centres provide health and recreational service to children
of working mothers, and help to prepare them for school.
