Alert:
control waste and clear our skies
|
Hong
Kong has serious environmental problems. The Council
for Sustainable Development has launched a territory-wide
movement to fight them. Help by using with recycled
shopping bags, fewer lights, less paper, lower air-conditioning.
Our schools are passing on the message.
The younger we
start the better. |

Summer
sports: a winning philosophy |
|
|
The Federation is running several
recreational sports programmes this summer. There
is the 4-day Divac Youth Basketball Camp which
offers NBA skills training by well known players
and coaches led by the famous Serbian All-Star,
Divac. Later there will be a 2-day golf camp in
Shenzhen organized with the Mission Hills
Golf Club and featuring well-known pro,
Cindy Reid. |
While enrolling the participants we learned what motivates
youngsters to sign up for camps like these, apart from
the big names. The consistent answers are fitness, weight
loss, fun and skills. Pleasing parents and impressing
peers are part of it. Learning to work together, understanding
how to deal with winning and losing are important too
but they are not fundamental to motivation. Young people
want to play well and they enjoy doing so if they are
slim and fit. That often involves having the right
coach so we look for the best people to partner us.
If you would like to partner us in sports
programmes, please contact Katy or Marina,
tel 3579 4560. To find out more, read Feature Story
where there is some feedback from the Divac Children's
Foundation and the Mission Hills Golf Club. |
