The Secretary for Security, Mr John Lee, visited Kwai Tsing District this afternoon (December 14) to know more about its law and order situation and the livelihood conditions of the local community. He also called at an integrated youth service centre in the district.
Accompanied by the District Officer (Kwai Tsing), Mr Kenneth Cheng, Mr Lee first met with members of the Kwai Tsing District Council to exchange views on issues relating to the local law and order situation and people's livelihood.
Afterwards, Mr Lee visited the Jockey Club Tsing Yi Integrated Service Centre for Children and Youth of the Hong Kong Playground Association. The Centre provides professional counselling and support services for children and young people in the district in order to help them realise their potential, establish a positive attitude and develop harmonious interpersonal relationships.
Mr Lee toured the facilities of the Centre and was briefed on the services it provides. He then watched talent performances by the participants of the Moonlight Project and listened to them speak on their future aspirations during a sharing session.
Jointly organised by the Kwai Tsing District Fight Crime Committee and the Local Committee on Services for Young People of Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing Districts of the Social Welfare Department, the Moonlight Project sends midnight outreach teams to approach young night drifters and arranges for them various types of recreational activities and talent classes, leading them to build a healthy lifestyle.
