The College Student Work Projects Student Retreat was held
         from February 7th to 8th 1976, at the YWCA Youth Camp  in Lantao.

         There were 81 workstudents participating.  The main purpose of the
         camp was to enable new College student Work Projects students to

         understand the objectives of the CSWP scheme and to provide an
         opportunity for present CSWP students to exchange experience and
         concerns.



                We are grateful for the continued  interest and support to this
         program from the Church World Service,  the U.S.  Aid for Refugee
         Migration of the American Consulate General,  "Bread for the World"

         in Germany, the World Council of Churches and the Rotary Club of
         Kowloon North.



         CHRISTIAN SERVICE TOUR PROGRAMME


          (1 )   Adults and Overseas Visitors

                        During the year over 350 people joined our tours.  It

                 is interesting to note that among the people who have attended
                 our tours,  a large percentage of the participants were profes-

                 sional social workers,  college professors,  Government servants
                 and other professional people.  They were from the local
                 community as well as from abroad.



          (2)    Hong Kong Youth

                         In order to provide opportunity for students and youth
                 in general to understand the needs of their community a

                 "Know Your Community Tour" has been sponsored by the Hong Kong
                 Christian Council.  These tours operate five days a week for
                 a period of two months  in the Summer.  These were first

                 offered  in 1974.  The response to the Summer tours was
                 encouraging.  The number of participants  in 1975 was 840.
                 This led to the decision to repeat the  service again  in the
                  Summer 1976.
