Member/ Volunteer Sharing

In the heart of Wang Tau Hom Estate, the Diana Boyd Wilson Centre is conveniently located on the ground floor of Wang Fai House. The centre provides a diverse range of activities for youth, including our After School Care Programme, tutoring, Boy Scout activities and special interest groups. We are equipped with numerous computer stations in the centre, a dining area and quiet area for studying. Our dedicated staff are professionally trained and are either diploma or degree holders in social work. Since the opening of the Diana Boyd Wilson Centre in the 1990's, some staff have been serving for over ten years. Similarly, this is also the case with some of our long-term club members who are now some of our most dedicated volunteers. This bonding promotes a great sense of belonging to our local community within the Wong Tai Sin district, perhaps our greatest strength of all.


 

Service Story - Diana Boyd Wilson

"I want to have lunch here!" demanded a 2-year-old boy who refused to take his mother’s outstretched hand and left the kitchen where a group of 10 children were having their lunch, much to the embarrassment of the mother. The boy’s elder brother was enjoying lunch, playfully scooping a spoon of food and held it out to the boy, enticing him to have a taste. The mother began complaining to the worker on duty, “My boy says that my cooking is not as good as Auntie’s at the Centre, and Auntie allows him to name the dishes he likes . . . .”

The After School Care Programme at the Diana Boyd Wilson Centre is very popular with the local families. The local primary schools, the Social Welfare Department and those families who have joined our service recommend the others to join our programme, and usually there is a waiting list. Conscientious and caring, the Centre staff strives to meet the demands of every child. Improvements for these primary school students are obvious: their schoolwork has improved, the problem of not handing in their homework is minimal, they have learnt to accept other children and, most importantly, they have learnt to be independent.

For every child entering our Centre, we aim at giving them practical support. Our staff members have the welfare of the children at heart and are quick to respond to the children’s needs. We also take our work for parents as one of our major tasks. We conduct regular meetings with the aim of enhancing fathers’ and mothers’ parenting skills.
