James Lau Visits Kwai Tsing

Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury James Lau visited Kwai Tsing today.

 

Mr Lau first visited a youth centre of the Federation of New Territories Youth Foundation in Tsing Yi.

 

The centre provides facilities and services for youths and holds an annual Mainland summer internship programme.

 

He spoke with past participants of the programme who made use of job placements in Fujian to learn more about the latest developments and work culture in the Mainland.

 

Mr Lau then proceeded to the Women Service Association in Kwai Chung Estate to learn about the Neighbourhood Support Child Care Project provided there.

 

Launched by the Social Welfare Department, the project aims to provide flexible day care services for children to meet the needs of parents in the neighbourhood.

 

Mr Lau said this year’s Budget allocates additional resources to increase professional and supporting manpower for the project to strengthen training for home-based child carers.

 

He also met District Councillors.
