Children from troubled
families who have to be temporarily taken care
of by Foster Care Service can contribute to the
community just like ordinary children. It will
do well to encourage their participation in community
service.
In collaboration with the students of the Hong
Kong Art School, Foundation Diploma in Visual
Art, a community service project, 'Seeing the
World through Children's Eyes' was organized for
our foster care children.
The art students arranged two creativity workshops
in December 2005. Our foster care children were
stimulated and created art pieces with the art
students together to express their views of an
ideal world.
Also, in April this year, an excursion for outdoor
drawing was arranged. New World First Bus Services
Ltd. sponsored the activity by offering one of
its buses to transport the children to and from
the excursion location. Moreover, the company
generously offered to let the children's artwork
and calendar of events be posted on one of its
buses for at least a month, so that the beauty
and innocence of these children can flow through
our busy city and be shown to the public.
