Publication
of the report of the Study on Family Needs in Tin Shui Wai
After months of hard work, the finalised report of the
Study on Family Needs in Tin Shui Wai has finally come out
in mid-November 2004. The report, a joint effort of HKSAS
and the City University of Hong Kong, is forming an integral
part of Operation Tin Shui Wai which was launched by us
in June 2004 to promote family and community harmony in
the new town.

Those who wish to acquire
a copy of report may ring up Miss Felix Chu at 2341 6249.
Summary of the Study on Family Needs in Tin Shui Wai
Operation Tin Shui Wai brings
joys and warmth to children of Tin Shui Wai at Christmas
time
With the generous
sponsorship of the Towngas, 100 primary students from Tin
Shui Wai were invited on 18 Dec 2004 to visit the Space
Museum at Tsim Sha Tsui. Apart from examining the interesting
exhibits, the children watched an exciting movie on the
universe at the space theatre. The children then went
to Towngas's café for a delicious Christmas buffet
lunch and joined renowned artists Lam Fung and Tong Ning
in a series of interesting games. They also had a good time
baking cookies under the guidance of the volunteer chefs
from Towngas.

Director
Peter Kwan is thanking Towngas for sponsoring
the
programme for children from Tin Shui Wai.

children and artists Tong Ning and Lam Fung.

Let's
decorate the "living" Christmas trees together!

Hey,
our first lesson on baking cookies.

Cheers!
A good time for all of us!
It

for Tin Shui Wai. The event attracted some 2,000 children
from Tin Shui Wai.
