Eighty youngsters took part in a three-day 'Help People to Help Themselves' Fight Crime Ambassadors Training Camp at the Mui Wo Recreation Association Camp Site last month. It was jointly organised by Lantau and Marine Port Districts, the Islands District Council and Islands Fight Crime Committee.

The event featured various recreational activities, a barbecue party and a talk on self-assurance and drugs. Over the coming six months, the young ambassadors will take part in various fight crime activities focussing on this year's main themes: 'Domestic security, shoplifting and street deception'.

Meanwhile, over 300 Tuen Mun Fight Crime Ambassadors attended a 'Help People to Help Themselves' seminar in Tuen Mun City Hall. The ambassadors, comprising students and professionals, will help in disseminating fight crime messages in schools and housing estates.
