Governor's monthly anti-drugs visit
The Governor, the Rt Hon Christopher Patten, will visit the Wu Oi Long Ke Detoxification and Rehabilitation Centre in Sai Kung tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon.
This is the second in a series of visits following the anti-drug summit to keep the Governor abreast of the community involvement in the fight against drug abuse.
Wu Oi Christian Centre, founded in 1973, offers religious detoxification and rehabilitation programmes to drug abusers and helps them reintegrate into society.
Many of the Wu Oi staff are former drug abusers who have stayed on after recovery to look after new comers and help them face their problems.
The Long Ke Centre caters for up to 70 drug abusers. The detoxification and rehabilitation programme comprises a twelve month treatment and a six month follow- up programme.
The Long Ke site is provided by the Government at nominal rent.
Attention News Editors:
You are invited to cover the Governor's visit to the Wu Oi Long Ke Centre tomorrow. A press coach will leave the CGO car park at 1.30 pm sharp for Sai Kung and return to CGO at around 7.30 pm. Private cars will not be admitted at the High Island Reservoir.
Please note that there is a 25-minute walk on a rough hill path from the reservoir east dam to the Centre. It is therefore advisable to travel light and wear shoes suitable for walking.
