Fifty-four police children awarded scholarships
Another
memorable occasion for education of police children
Officiating
at
the ceremony, Commissioner Tsang Wai-hung encouraged the scholarship
winners to keep up their efforts in studying and striving for
excellence. "As you are the masters of Hong Kong of tomorrow, I do
sincerely congratulate all the scholarship winners and hope you would
keep on equipping yourselves in an ever-changing era of information
explosion in order to showcase your talents in society," he told the
police children.
He noted: "The trusts have been running smoothly over decades due to generous donations and contributions made by the chairmen and members of the Joint Management Committees and Joint Investment Advisory Boards. Their advice on proper management of the trusts has made optimum utilisation of the trusts possible.
Mr Tsang also extended his heartfelt thanks to the former Chairman of the Joint Management Committees, Mr Victor Li, for his great contribution over the past six years from 2006 to June this year.
CP is convinced that management of the trusts would further improve under the new Chairman, Mr Michael Lee, and with the support of committee members, benefit more police children.
The two education trusts have in the past 45 years benefited thousands of children of police officers at all ranks with scholarships, bursaries and grants. Donations come from the community and Force members are also an important source of income for the trusts. Force members are welcome to join a Voluntary Contribution Scheme by making a monthly donation to provide a stable and continuous source of income for the education trusts. They may make donation with cheque and official receipt will be issued for donation of $100 or more, which is tax deductible.
Call Personnel Services and Staff Relations Branch at 2860-3242 for details of making donations to the trusts.
