Youthful wishes: making dreams come true in 2007

We have many new initiatives for the coming year – a year in which all of us in Hong Kong will celebrate the HKSAR anniversary. There will be efforts on behalf of the underprivileged and disadvantaged who so badly need exposure to the world outside their usual limits. We will work for youth at risk and all young people with problems, emotional or practical. Leadership programmes will be refined and job training for the workplace will be developed further.

The young need encouragement and motivation to try harder. They need praise and rewards when they do well, making a commitment and a contribution to society. The Federation can help with these needs and provide opportunities for volunteer work. With you as partners we can broaden many horizons and brighten countless futures. Will you lend a hand to support our efforts? Let’s take a positive step forward into 2007 together.
Contact Bonnie in Partnership, tel 2123 9598, to talk about ideas for projects and events.
