Also, the Division, as one of the organization recognized by the
American Government received from the United States Assistance
to Refugee and Migrants (USARM) a total sum of US$402,799.- or

almost 2 million Hong Kong dollars for the following projects:

Yim Tin Tsai (Tai Po) Village Project HK$1,569,719.10
Student Aid in Macau (Sheng Kung Hui) 39,600.00
College Student Work Project (HKCS) 299,060.00
United Christian Hospital's
Community Health Centers 83,558.90

To express the concern for the war victims and refugees in

Vietnam, and also to act on behalf of the member churches of
the Council the Division sent a sum of HK$5,000 to the World
Council of Churches from the Disaster Relief Fund. It has been

reported earlier that the churches in Hong Kong had raised over
HK$155,000 from the Good Friday Appeal for World Hunger. This
again shows an evidence that the Christians of Hong Kong are

increasingly concern for the needs of others and are able to
give more.

participants were divided into three regional groups for further
discussion on the theme and for forming concrete proposals. At

the second large group meeting the following two proposals received
the majority support:
