Services for Education
To arouse awareness of the problem
of corruption, we co-sponsored with the ICAC and Apple Computer International
a special education programme. Donation was also made to the Hong Kong Red
Cross towards the distribution of educational leaflets to the public on
infectious diseases and personal health.
To promoted the interest and to advance
the standard of Hong Kong students in Mathematics, we supported the Hong
Kong Mathematical Olympiad School in training local students to participate
in the National Mathematic Competition in Mainland China.
To enhance students' awareness of
waste separation, recovery and recycling, we strongly supported the "Waste
Recycling Scheme in Territory and Vocational Institutes" Campaign jointly
organised with the Environmental Campaign Committe and the Environmental
Protection Department of the Government of Hong Kong SAR, other sister Zonta
Clubs of Hong Kong as well as the Rotary Club and Lions Club.
In 2004-2005, we sponsored the Environmental
Campaign Committee to implement the "Waste Separation and Recycling
Scheme" in all pre-schools (800+) in Hong Kong.
Jointly with the Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology, we organised in 1992 a varsity competition to
promotes the interest of post-secondary students in designing innovative electronics
devices.
To show our support for life long
learning, as from the year 2000, we have set up on a long term basis two bursaries
for female students at the Open University of Hong Kong under the name
"Zonta Club of the New Territories Bursary Awards".
In 2004, jointly with the HKU
Family Institute, we started "A Training Package for School Systems
to Help Children with Behavioral and Emotional Problems" Over 500 teaching
professionals, and their students will benefit from this programme.
Our latest project was establishing
jointly with Sowers Action (]®E¦æ°Ê) a primary school in a remote part of Guizhou
(¶Q¦{). The school has just started its operation in 2005.
