9 民政事務局局長演辭 Speech by Secretary for Home Affairs Mr. David HO, Mr. Quincy LUI, Advisory Board Members, Directors, ladies and gentlemen, It is my great pleasure to join you all for the handover and inauguration ceremony for the Board of Directors of Po Leung Kuk. First of all, I would like to thank the Board for your dedication and to congratulate the incoming Board on your appointment. For over a century, Po Leung Kuk s commitment to our society has won high praise from the general public. Throughout its long history, Po Leung Kuk has kept abreast of the latest developments and catered to the aspirations of the community to better serve Hong Kong. The problem of youth drug abuse is a good recent example. Po Leung Kuk has taken prompt action and launched wide-ranging programmes within a short time to help address the issue. Po Leung Kuk schools have adopted the Anti-drug Campus policy and enhanced various anti-drug measures. An inter-school video competition, Fruitful Life, has also been launched to instill positive values in our young people. For the community at large, the Energetic Youth Club will soon be up and running to provide venues for healthy youth activities. Also, Po Leung Kuk is planning new treatment and rehabilitation services that will assist young drug users in rebuilding their lives. Good family relationship is a main driver for social harmony. Over the year, Po Leung Kuk strived to promote family values to forge closer and harmonious relationship amongst family members. I have attended the Kuk s Charity Three-Legged-Race not long ago and was deeply impressed to see family members forging ahead shoulders to shoulders with harmonious strides. I am also pleased to note that Po Leung Kuk Tin Ka Ping Family Joy Centre has been well received by residents of the Shatin District. The Kuk has further extended the service this year to Sheung Shui. Its self-financed Ching Ho Integrated Service Centre at Ching Ho Estate, to be opened soon, will provide a range of support services to families of the district. I hope that the Kuk will keep on providing services to help promote family and inter-generation harmony within the community. Po Leung Kuk is widely acclaimed for its education services. It offers its students a diverse range of activities that promote healthy development and positive values. Among them, the Po Leung Kuk Leadership and Discipline Training Camp programme has achieved encouraging results. Last year, the programme was extended to include students outside the Po Leung Kuk and share the idea with the wider education sector. 08 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

10 The Kuk has also introduced a One Student, One Volunteer Service scheme in its secondary schools. This gives students opportunities to serve the community and develop a greater sense of responsibility to society through voluntary work. The SAR Government has just announced the acceptance in principle of the key recommendations of a consultancy study to promote the development of football in Hong Kong. I am glad to note that Po Leung Kuk shares the same vision. Its plan to set up a football training centre at a holiday camp in Pak Tam Chung with a football pitch and ancillary facilities will certainly help promote football among our youngsters. Besides, the Kuk has also received a grant of over $30 million from the Chief Executive s Community Project for the Po Leung Kuk Jockey Club Tai Tong Holiday Camp. With the grant, more dormitory units and training and recreational facilities will be built to provide a base for the Leadership Training Camp. The local economy has been adversely affected by the global financial tsunami. Responding to the needs of the community, the Kuk set up canteens at its six district elderly community centres, providing free meals to the elderly and those in need. It also established a social enterprise which creates job opportunities for the disadvantaged to enable them to be self-reliant and contribute to society. The Board s success in raising a record of over $200 million last year is testimony to your hard work and to the Kuk s good reputation in the city. I have every confidence that Chairman LUI and the new Board will keep the good work going and lead Po Leung Kuk in the pursuit of excellence in serving the society. I wish you all a very successful year ahead. Thank you. Inauguration of Po Leung Kuk Board of Directors

15 己丑年董事會主席何志豪先生交代講辭 Speech of Mr David C H HO, Chairman of the Board of Directors Welcome to the Inauguration Ceremony of the Board of Directors. We are delighted to have the Hon TSANG Tak-shing, JP, Secretary for Home Affairs and the Hon Matthew CHEUNG Kin-chung, GBS, JP, Secretary for Labour and Welfare, to officiate at the ceremony. Having served as Chairman of Po Leung Kuk for a year, I can really appreciate that to cater well to the diverse needs of the society is definitely no easy task. I was very fortunate to have the full support of my fellow Directors of the Board throughout the term. With our concerted efforts, we made significant achievements in pushing through quite a number of new services and initiatives. On my part, what motivated and drove me to exert my best during my busy days in the Kuk were our service recipients. Every time when I saw our residential children going to and from schools, or exercising and playing happily in the playground, I felt energized. Every time when I saw police cars coming and bringing to the Kuk children who lacked parental care, I always reminded myself that I had to work even harder since there were many people in the community who needed our care and attention. Today, in the presence of our distinguished guests, I would like to share with you what we had accomplished during the year. I firmly believe that with your unfailing support, our work can go a long way in helping the needy. Nurturing Leaders of Tomorrow From this January onwards, we have put in operation a new Po Leung Kuk Leadership Camp working in collaboration with a leading service provider in this field. The Po Leung Kuk Leadership Camp Programme was first launched in 2006, initially for students of our affiliated secondary schools. Through several days of training and follow up work, we managed to develop students perseverance and leadership skills. In light of the success, we extended the programme to students of our primary schools. As at to-date, the total number of participants in the programme has exceeded 11,000. As Chairman of the Kuk, I received numerous personal letters from students, parents and teachers thanking the Kuk for giving the students such an opportunity. The students told me how they had overcome difficulties and gained friendship at the training camp. Teachers were gratified to see how the programme had turned their students into responsible and forward looking youngsters. Parents told me how they were pleasantly surprised with the outcome that the programme had turned their children from spoilt kids to polite and thankful young men/women. And for me, I personally witnessed how the students demonstrated strength and team spirit during training, how their parents, teachers and the student themselves moved to tears on camp graduation days. In implementing these programmes among our affiliated schools, the Kuk has to sponsor some $4 million a year. Last year, we were pleased to have received a grant of over $30 million from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to build a leadership training base in our Jockey Club Tai Tong Holiday Camp. I am sure these investments will pay off since those who have participated in the programme will in the future contribute back to the society in their different capacities. 14 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

16 The new Po Leung Kuk Leadership Camp will no doubt continue to grow and prosper. The extension of the camp to students beyond the Kuk and employees of other organisations will enable more young people to reap the benefits of such an invaluable experience. Serving Others is the Goal of Life; Helping Others is the Root of Happiness Po Leung Kuk is committed to serving the community and we expect that our next generation will share this same value in life. The motto of the Po Leung Kuk schools is Love, Respect, Diligence and Integrity among which love comes first. We hope that all our students would have a loving heart that leads them to care for the underprivileged. Last year, we introduced the One student, One Volunteer Service scheme to encourage our students to take part in volunteer work and to cultivate their sense of mission and responsibility through service. The scheme has now been successfully implemented in all our secondary schools. So far, a total of 15,700 students have registered as volunteers. I hope our energetic and zealous youngsters will form a collective force in spreading the message of a caring and harmonious society. Striding Towards a Bright Future As youngsters are the future pillars of society, we have great expectations of them. We were troubled by the recent trends in the society which made our young people vulnerable to undesirable influences. The Kuk took various positive steps to address this issue. To counter the growing problem of adolescent drug abuse, the Kuk implemented a policy of drug free campus among our affiliated schools. This entailed the incorporation of drug education into our regular curriculum and extracurricular activities, the stepping up of our efforts in school inspection, teachers training and liaison between the school and parents. We put up a proposal for the consideration of the Government to set up a drug treatment and rehabilitation centre to assist young female drug abusers through a range of programmes including intensive counselling, social and education support. On the other hand, to encourage our young people to spend their leisure time constructively and to engage in worthwhile activities and pursuits, we have plans to set up in Yuen Long a Dynamic World for the Young. The plan is to convert containers into a centre where young people can organise their own groups to perform, do street dancing, read comic books, do exercising or sell small trendy items. The containers can also lend themselves to graffiti. We expect this centre to be operational in August Moreover, we are planning to build a football training centre at our Steven Lo Kit Sing Pak Tam Chung Holiday Camp. The centre will include a standard 11-a-side football pitch, hostels and various ancillary facilities. At the same time, we have also set up a Football Development Fund to support the operation of the Centre and to sponsor those young people with talents but cannot afford the fees to undergo quality football training. We hope that these efforts will help promote football and also encourage the public to take part in this healthy sport. Inauguration of Po Leung Kuk Board of Directors

17 己丑年董事會主席何志豪先生交代講辭 Speech of Mr David C H HO, Chairman of the Board of Directors Services for Women and Children The name Po Leung Kuk literally means an organisation for the protection of the women and the young. Last year, we obtained a government contract to operate a refuge centre for women the third one operated by the Kuk, and the fifth one in Hong Kong. The Kuk is the largest operator of refuge centre for women in Hong Kong. Apart from providing immediate and safe accommodation for women and their children faced with family violence, we also offer them skills training so as to help them re-integrate into the society. For those women in our centres we provided them, through our Furniture and Equipment Support Scheme, with brand new or second-hand furniture and household appliances donated by the public when they moved into their new dwelling allocated by the Government. Further to our launching of overseas adoption service a year ago, the Kuk was accredited by the Social Welfare Department this January to operate local adoption services. Now we can help identify permanent, stable and loving local families for children who are eligible for adoption, so that they can grow up in the warmth of a family. Separately, we obtained another service contract to operate the second early learning centre for young children. Services for the Disadvantaged Helping the disadvantaged is always our first priority. Last year, the local economy was adversely affected by the global financial downturn, and as a result, many citizens suddenly faced with financial hardship. In response to needs, we set up community canteens in our existing district elderly community centres, providing cheap and free hot meals to the elderly and the financial vulnerable. As for the handicapped persons, the Kuk succeeded in obtaining a government contract to operate the Kwai Chung Integrated Rehabilitation Service Centre. By far the largest rehabilitation centre operated by the Kuk, it provides 320 residential places and 215 day care places with an annual operating cost of over $42 million. We also received Lotteries Fund amounting to $54 million for its renovation and purchase of furniture and equipment. The centre is expected to be operational by the end of Better to Teach a Person How to Fish Than to Give him a Fish As this old saying suggests, it would be more effective to help the disadvantaged to be self-reliant. To achieve this, the Kuk provided them with vocational training and job opportunities. Last year, the Lick Heng Cleaning Service (a social enterprise) started operation. Another social enterprise, the Grandway Food, which will mainly be engaged in the sale of frozen food, will be in operation later in 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

18 During the year, we explored the feasibility of setting up further social enterprises, developing businesses making best use of available skill sets. These included car beauty services and organic farming, which if materialised would create more job opportunities for the disadvantaged. A Blue Sky for Our Next Generation Apart from providing a wide range of quality services to meet the needs of the community, the Board of Directors also focused on environmental protection. Thanks to the efforts of our predecessors, most of our service units are already equipped with recycle bins. In addition, our Yao Lin Sun College, Celine Ho Yam Tong College, Law s Foundation College, Tong Nai Kan College and Ma Kam Ming College have received funding support from the Environment and Conservation Fund to take forward various eco-campus projects. At the headquarters level, we promulgated the Kuk s environmental policy and set up the Kuk s Going Green Committee. Other than promoting environmental awareness through various activities, we also systematically brought elements of environmental protection into different aspects of our work. Ranging from building works to the choice of paper for our publications, we took into consideration the green factor. Po Leung Kuk meetings are already paperless, with attending members reading documents from the computers. Meanwhile, the Annual Report and the Inauguration Booklet which you are reading now were printed on environmental friendly (FSC) paper and in limited quantity, replaced by discs as far as possible. To assist us in our pursuit, the Environment and Conservation Fund has in principle approved a funding allocation of over $30 million in support of 71 green projects to be implemented over a period of 3 years. In this March, with the support of Environmental Protection Department, we held the Po Leung Kuk Evolving into a Green Organisation Kick-off Ceremony to announce our determination to go green. Of the 71 projects, some would be for the two holiday camps of the Kuk which included the installation of energy efficient electrical appliances, renewable energy installations and greening projects. Our two environmental friendly holiday camps will in future provide a platform to promote green living among the public. Colourful Fund Raising Activities Other than subventions from the Government, we have to rely heavily on donations to fund our services and new initiatives. As in the past, the Kuk organised a series of fund raising activities in , with some innovative ones including: The Po Leung Kuk Sa Sa Charity Night held last December was our first fund raising activity held in the official residence of our Chief Secretary for Administration. The night raised over $6 million in donation proceeds. Inauguration of Po Leung Kuk Board of Directors

19 己丑年董事會主席何志豪先生交代講辭 Speech of Mr David C H HO, Chairman of the Board of Directors Masquerade Charity Ball, held in the same month, was the first activity planned and organised by the second generation of our Board Members entirely on a voluntary basis. Guests attending were required to masquerade celebrities in town. In February this year, we held the Three-Legged-Race charity event. Apart from raising funds, the event also promoted family harmony and healthy living by inviting the participation of family members, particularly from cross-generation. As many as 752 teams were formed, breaking the world s Guinness record with the greatest number of people playing Three-Legged- Race at the same time. The Annual Charity Ball held in March this year raised funds for the newly established Football Development Fund. With the enthusiastic support of donors, we raised over $7 million. This set a record for the greatest amount of donations raised for our annual balls, and in fact a record for the greatest amount of donations raised in any single fund raising activity. I am indeed delighted to report that the total charitable proceeds this year reached a record high of over $210 million. Here, on behalf of our beneficiaries, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all our donors for their ardent support. Conclusion In the past year, my fellow board members and I did our very best to serve the Kuk and the Hong Kong community. I wish to thank our Advisory Board, all related Government Officials, members of the public and all our staff for their selfless support without which Po Leung Kuk would not have been able to record the achievements today. Finally I would like to wish the new Board of Directors every success under Chairman Quincy LUI. I am sure that it will continue to serve the community and excel in furthering the Kuk s mission. 18 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

25 庚寅年董事會主席呂鈞堯先生就職講辭 Inaugural Address of Mr Quincy K Y LUI, Chairman of the Board of Directors On this occasion of the Inauguration of the Board of Directors for , we are delighted to have the Hon TSANG Tak-sing, JP, Secretary for Home Affairs, and the Hon Matthew CHEUNG Kin-chung, GBS, JP, Secretary for Labour and Welfare as our officiating guests. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our guests and friends for coming here today and for their flowers. Having served Po Leung Kuk for eight years, I am fully aware that every Po Leung Kuk Director is vested with an important mission. As the elected Chairman, I understand that I have to take on even greater responsibilities. Thanks to the wisdom and hard work of our predecessors, the Kuk has now evolved to become one of the largest charities in Hong Kong, serving over 400,000 citizens in the areas of welfare, education, recreation and culture. These achievements constantly remind us of the need for continuous improvement of our services for there are many people in the community who need our attention and care. Under the leadership of Chairman HO, the Board of successfully launched a series of initiatives in the past year including the new Leadership Camp, the One Student, One Volunteer Service scheme, reading plans, the community canteens, a social enterprise, improvement plans for the camps, proposal to set up a football training centre and various environmental projects, etc. The Board is committed to take these worthwhile projects further, but here, we wish to briefly introduce to you our work plan for the year and would like to appeal for your continuous support. Social Services We hope every citizen could enjoy a fruitful life and be given the opportunity to do his best without being adversely affected by his financial or physical conditions. Bringing out the Children s Potentials; Making Life more Interesting At present the Kuk operates a total of 25 kindergartens cum nurseries, serving young children from different walks of life and ethnic background. To complement the provision of care and education services, our institutions also organise various activities to enrich the children s experience which is very important for their all-round development. To strengthen our efforts, we have plans to set up an art centre for the young children of our kindergartens cum nurseries. The centre would hold regular activities and exhibitions to give these children greater exposure to the learning of art so as to bring out their potential and to cultivate among them a good personality. Also for the development of young children, we recognise that toys and games are essential for their intellectual and emotional growth. It is unfortunate that many families cannot afford toys for their children. To address the issue, we intend to launch a mobile toys service 24 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

26 by converting a big van into a toy library which will visit different locations in the territory, including public housing estates, hospitals and children s homes. Needy children can go to the van and pick the toys they like making use of the free toy-on-loan service. It is hoped that these children can have a chance to enjoy playing with toys which in turn would help develop their imagination and creativity. Cultivating a Positive Attitude; Building a Promising Future Apart from intellectual development, we hope to cultivate in our children a positive attitude towards life so that they can help themselves to become responsible and contributing members of society. We have applied to the Government to operate the Child Development Fund. Using our Ching Ho Integrated Services Centre in Sheung Shui as the base for this project, we would work with children from a disadvantaged background in Tai Po and North Districts, helping them to plan for their future. We will identify for each of the participating children their respective mentors who would assist them in drawing up their personal development plan and setting targets relating to education or vocational needs, followed up by provision of the necessary training programmes. Through these efforts, it is expected that these disadvantaged children would be able to have more personal development opportunities. On the same note, we also have plans to launch a Positive Youth Fund which will provide sponsorships to young people in realising their dreams, which may include publishing short stories, producing records or comic books, making handicrafts and web game design as well as performing. In parallel, we will launch the Capacity Building Programme for adolescent girls. This programme will involve the joint efforts of social workers, psychologists, medical professionals working as a team to design the most suitable services for our teenage girls and these could well include health check, group activities and individual counselling. These two projects aim to promote positive messages to our youngsters so that they are more ready to resist the bad influence in the society and be able to keep themselves away from deviant behaviours such as drug abuse, bullying, compensated dating, gambling and indulgence in net surfing. Concern for Women s Welfare; In line with the Po Leung Spirit The Kuk s objective is for the protection of the young and the innocent. Service for women has been one of the Kuk s earliest areas of work. At present the Kuk operates three of the five women s refuge centres funded by the Government. We will implement the Empowerment Programme for Women and Children to provide further support for the women and children in our centres. With the provision of more information and skills training, it is hoped that these women and children could find their own interests, develop their potential and broaden their outlook in life, which in turn would help them re-integrate into the society. Inauguration of Po Leung Kuk Board of Directors

27 庚寅年董事會主席呂鈞堯先生就職講辭 Inaugural Address of Mr Quincy K Y LUI, Chairman of the Board of Directors Home Care to Facilitate Ageing in the community The Kuk operates a number of elderly homes which provide residential and nursing care services. We also organise a variety of activities at our elderly centres to facilitate our elders to live an active and interesting life. Among the elders whom we contacted, many expressed their desire to stay at home and enjoy the care and support of family members and neighbours. However their carers may not always know the best ways to take care of the elders. To address the problem, we are going to launch a scheme which involves the provision of home care and medical services to the frail elders in the community by a group of visiting medical and para-medical professionals. The elders family members would also be trained on caretaking skills thus providing strong support to the elders who age at home. We also have plans to turn our Tin Ka Ping Rehabilitation Support Centre into a community rehabilitation day care centre which will provide day time caretaking, nursing, rehabilitation training and social activities for the physically and mentally challenged. Educational Services We operate over 100 educational services units with a student population of over 40,000. These children and youngsters are the future driving force of our social development. Hence in nurturing our young, we not only have to impart them with knowledge and skills, but also to cultivate their creative thinking and positive attitudes and develop their perserverance. All-round Education: Pillars of the Future For the year ahead, we will continue to provide leadership training to the students of our affiliated schools so as to build up their confidence, team spirit and sense of responsibility. Moreover, in taking forward our One Student, One Volunteer Service scheme, we will forge closer links between our schools and the various social services units (including ours) so that the students could have the opportunity to work in a wider spectrum of services and hence be able to gain a greater variety of experiences. We will in particular, encourage our students to apply what they have learnt whilst doing their volunteer work. These may include performing for the elders or taking up the liaison and logistical work in organising charitable events. Apart from bringing immediate benefits to the service recipients, the volunteer work would also enable the students to see it for themselves how their knowledge and skills could help others. Also, through their contact with people from different walks of life, they can have a better understanding and appreciation of the daily life of the disadvantaged. Through this experience, the students 26 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

28 can learn to be more empathetic and tolerant. That is exactly what we expect of from our next generation. Multifarious Activities to Develop Students Talents We have put in a lot of resources in organising activities for our students. This year, we will organise a series of activities to promote English drama among our schools. These activities will integrate the elements of art and learning of a language which on one hand will stimulate students interest in learning English, on the other hand, will help uncover students talent in drama. It is planned that later in the year, we would organise inter-school drama shows or contests so that the students will learn from each other and improve together. There is also a plan to set up a Po Leung Kuk Orchestra with members from the best students of our affiliated schools. The Orchestra to be led by a good conductor, will undergo regular training and be given various performing opportunities. The Kuk will co-organise with the Education Bureau an international visual art competition cum exhibition in the year. The event will offer students an opportunity to showcase their talents and the local students a chance to meet and exchange with students overseas. Creativity can be applied to different aspects of our daily lives. This year, we plan to set up a Development Fund to promote innovation and technological development. We will encourage our students to put up proposals on technology, arts or any other subjects to bid for sponsorship under the Fund. Support to School to Enhance the Quality of Teaching In terms of teaching support, the Kuk will apply for funding from the government to engage additional educational psychologists for our affiliated schools, and to implement on-line learning plans to enhance teaching and learning. For our secondary schools, the Kuk will strengthen support for the teaching of liberal studies through organising joint-school study tours and visits, topical studies, forums and competitions. For our primary schools, we have just obtained a grant from the Quality Education (QE) Fund to implement an online platform to promote diversified assessment for the learning of science. For pre-school education, the Kuk will engage an external Inauguration of Po Leung Kuk Board of Directors

29 庚寅年董事會主席呂鈞堯先生就職講辭 Inaugural Address of Mr Quincy K Y LUI, Chairman of the Board of Directors consultant to carry out a review of the exisiting curriculum. We would also make best use of funding from QE Fund to implement a project to promote the language development of our young children through the use of Cantonese story teaching kits. Other than these projects, we will work closely with our schools so that we can provide timely assistance and support to meet their teaching needs. The quality of teachers is the key to our delivery of education services and we have always attached great importance to the professional development of our teaching staff. We will step up our support in this area by organising a series of seminars/talks on various subjects, with Legal knowledge on Campus as our first attempt to be followed by other topics including Designing School-based Curriculum and Financial Management, etc. Corporate Management Human Resources Development and Concern Apart from serving the community, the Kuk has great concern for the well-being of our own staff. The Kuk has a current workforce of over 6,000, mostly front-line workers including teaching staff in schools, nurses and care workers in our social services units. Other than daily routine work, many of them have to face with unexpected incidents in their dealings with students/service recipients. To ensure that they have a healthy body and a healthy mind to meet with the work challenges, the Kuk will tailor-make training activities for them to help relieve their work pressure, boost their enthusiasm in work and to enhance the working relationships among colleagues in the work place. Initiating Our Green Initiatives- Moving Towards a Green Organisation The Kuk promulgated its environmental policy last year and received funding support from the Environment and Conservation Fund in the amount of about $30 million to implement 71 environmental projects over a period of 3 years. For this year, we aim to concentrate on projects which mainly include green roofs, energy saving electrical appliances and renewable energy and food waste decomposer installations. In addition, the environmental projects at our two holiday camps which amount to over $13 million will also commence in the year. We will monitor closely the implementation of these projects. A consultant will also be engaged to advise us on how best to conduct carbon audits and to assess the overall effectiveness of our efforts. Such information would be useful for setting the future direction of our environmental protection work. 28 保良局庚寅年董事會就職特輯

30 Conclusion I am honoured to have the trust and support of my fellow colleagues to be elected as the Chairman for I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of and Chairman David HO for what they have achieved. I look forward to the continued support of the Government officials, our advisors, our predecessors and the public at large.
