"Under this project, a few hundred social welfare units will be open to members of the public for visiting. Members of the three tiers of assemblies, prominent community figures and Government officials will also be invited to visit some units. It is hoped that the visitors will develop a better understanding of the services provided by the units and the channels through which they may enrol as volunteers.
"Visitors will each be provided with a 'passport', which will be stamped with the chop of the respective district after each visit. Anyone whose 'passport' contains three or more chops may be eligible for a souvenir pin.
"To add colour to the project, design entries for the nine districts are now being invited. Each district will select the best chop design for use in the Volunteer Trail project. The winners will be awarded. The one who produces the best of all designs will receive an additional prize.
"The chop designs should encourage mutual care in the community and highlight the characteristics of the respective district. They should measure 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches.
"Each participant can submit a maximum of three entries for each district. All entries should reach the organising committee of the Volunteer Trail by March 31," the spokesman said.
The nine districts are: Central, Western, Southern and Islands; Wan Chai and Eastern; Kwun Tong and Sai Kung; Kowloon City and Wong Tai Sin; Sham Shui Po and Yau Tsim Mong; Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing; Tuen Mun and Yuen Long; Sha Tin; as well as North District and Tai Po.
Entry forms are now available at the various District Offices and from the organising committee of the Volunteer Trail at 13th floor, Duke of Windsor Social Service Building, 15 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Enquiries can be made on 2864 2929.
