The Friends of Cambridge University in Hong Kong

Charity event jointly organised by Cambridge University Alumni Club & St. James Settlement Rehabilitation Services

In the past year, many of you have taken part in two very successful English workshops jointly organised by Cambridge Charity Group and St. James Settlement for less fortunate primary school kids in Chai Wan and Yuen Long. This time, we are branching out to reach a different community, the mentally challenged members of our society.

This upcoming event aims to bring music, sports and other outdoor recreational activities to the mentally challenged members residing at the St. James Settlement Rehabilitation Centre. Our goal is to stimulate their creative powers, help them build interpersonal skills and build up their confidence in an interactive, fun-filled environment with lots of stimulants including sight, sound, smell and of course smiles!

Date : 4 November 2006, Saturday

Time: 8:30am - 4pm

Event: Half-day tour at the Hong Kong Music Farm in the New Territories

Activities: Different games will be organised, for example, learning how to make bread and pottery, handicrafts, singing timeless favourites with guitar

Number of volunteers required: minimum 22

Cost per volunteer: HK$280 (covering transportation to Music Farm, admission fees for participants, a yummy lunch and gifts)

Don't miss this chance to participate in a very meaningful event. For those who are interested, please email any of us before 31 October 2006 to reserve a place!
