Sponsored
by the Civic Education Fund, the competition was launched in
June to promote the theme of coping positively amidst adversity.
Each participant was to write an adverse situation from various
nature such as sickness, family break-ups (or being in a dysfunctional
family), school dropouts and unemployment, stress on public
exams, challenges faced by being new immigrants, drug abuse,
and even illegitimate teenage pregnancy. The stories reflect
many real life difficulties that our youth are facing nowadays.
There are
five schools that have won the competition and they are: Amoy
College, Jockey Club Government Secondary School, Kwun Tong
Vocational Training Centre of Hong Kong Christian Service, Pentecostal
Lam Hon Kwong School and the Mission Covenant Church Holm Glad
College.
The
winning teams were given a training session in broadcasting
before they recorded the dramas in our studio. They were very
excited for their winning dramas would be produced on a CD and
copies of which could be distributed to secondary schools or
to the general public upon request. We hope this CD will help
spread the messages to the teenagers that it is important for
one to maintain an optimistic attitude amidst adversities; and
with such attitude it is possible for anyone to create a beautiful
life from adversities.
The prize presentation will be arranged in December of this
year.
