" Play"~ a Vital Element in Child's Development
The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) arranged 20 Caring Company representatives to visit Playright Children’s Play Association (Playright) located in Tai Wo Estate on 30 June 2009. This community visit aims at providing an opportunity for representatives from various business sectors to know more about the importance of enriching children’s life through quality play.
Ms Kathy Wong, Executive Director of Playright Children’s Play Association made a very interesting introduction on their services and their belief (including Advocacy, Play Resources, Play Outreach, Play Environments). Through a simple game (扯大攬) with a piece of paper, our participants not only enjoyed the fun, but also be inspired the value of the quality play.
In order to support their services and mission, Ms Wong also encouraged and invited all participants to use Playright Playmobile service for their company outdoor events. Friends and relatives were also welcome to become volunteers to help Playright to run different activities.
Through this community visit, the participants learnt the influential power of play and explored any partnership opportunities with social service organisations.
