NEW NURSERY SHOWS THE WAY
******
THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, MR. THOMAS LEE, TODAY CALLED ON NON-PROFIT-MAKING ORGANISATIONS TO MAKE GREATER EFFORTS TOWARDS FINANCING SUBVENTED WELFARE PROJECTS.
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE NEW KOWLOON WOMEN ASSOCIATION NURSERY IN TSZ WAN SHAN SOUTH ESTATE WELFARE BUILDING, MR. LEE SAID THE ASSOCIATION HAD SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR OTHER NON-PROFIT-MAKING ORGANISATIONS TO FOLLOW BY ESTABLISHING A WELL-EQUIPPED NURSERY SOLELY OUT OF ITS OWN RESOURCES IN THE PRESENT ECONOMIC SITUATION.
HE GAVE AN ASSURANCE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD CONTINUE TO ATTACH GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE PROMOTION OF WELFARE WORK AND NOTED THAT DESPITE ITS TIGHT BUDGET, THE GOVERNMENT HAD INCREASED SUBVENTIONS TO NON- PROFIT-MAKING NURSERIES FOR 1975-76.
HE ALSO THANKED ALL NURSERIES FOR THEIR CONTINUED CO-OPERATION WITH THE GOVERNMENT IN EXERCISING STRICT ECONOMY ON SPENDING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAINING A HIGH STANDARD OF SERVICE.
MR. LEE NOTED THAT THE NEW KOWLOON WOMEN ASSOCIATION HAD BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN WELFARE WORK AND HAD BEEN PROVIDING A VARIETY OF SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1969.
THEIR LATEST PROJECT WILL PROVIDE PLACES FOR 100 CHILDREN BETWEEN TWO AND SIX YEARS TO BENEFIT WORKING MOTHERS LIVING IN TSZ WAN SHAN AREA.
