The Tai O Centre was established to serve all the children and young residents on Lantau Island, helping them to develop their potential and enhance their knowledge of the outside world. With the support from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, we provided a 3-year project, "Caring Tai O Community" to promote a community care across different generations in Tai O. We believe that every Tai O resident can contribute to their own community, even little kids or women with lower socio-economic status would do so. It becomes utmost importance to empower such women and children through various skills and knowledge trainings.
Objectives
- To provide resources that enable
children in Tai O to utilize their personal potential
- To help children attain well-balanced
moral, academic, physical, social, and aesthetic development;
- To offer mothers and fathers support
and information that will empower them to fulfill their
parenting roles;
- To encourage children, youths, and
their families to care for the Tai O community and participate
in community activities.
Service Targets
6 to 24 years old children, teenagers and their parents
Service Highlights
- Continuous growth of the
Community
Aiming at development of a sustainable community, we provided
Information Technology and English classes to enhance the
youth's employability. Civic education, leadership programs
and volunteer services were held throughout the year to
promote a sense of belongings towards the community. We
also collaborated with other organizations to provide voluntary
services for the community. Our partners included many established
companies, for instance, the Kowloon Golden Miles and PCCW.
- Empowerment of Women
Our services are recognized increasingly among the local
families. Those mothers with lower socio-economic status
were particularly enthusiastic to equip themselves with
various skills and knowledge. To enhance their family functioning,
we provided more parenting programs in the future.
- Tai
O Cyber Learning Centre
Our work to alleviate the digital divide for Tai O has been
awarded as the "Outstanding Partnership Project" in the
Caring Company Scheme 2006-07 by the Hong Kong Council of
Social Service.
- Serving Bui O Students
On a mobile basis, we extended to serve the children of
Bui O which is a remote community located in between Tai
O and Mui Wo. We have provided various counseling group
services to support the children.
- Enrich the Life Exposure
of Tai O youth
We mobilized the teenagers to perform band show at Stanley,
learn hardware assembles at Tuen Mun and to visit the physically
handicapped at Kwun Tong. For those who lead their lives
in Tai O, these activities can broaden their horizons
- Future Plan
We would excel ourselves towards the concept of "Caring
Tai O community" and enhance the parents' role in the families
by providing suitable training on communication and information
technology. It is hoped that they can reciprocate the society
continuously.
Member's Sharing
Mrs. Chan, mother of Ka Kai - We do not have a computer at
our home. My daughter Ka Kai is studying primary one and needs
to use the computer to do her homework. At first, it was a
big problem for us. We are grateful that Tai O Centre of HAC
started the Cyber Learning Program so that we can make use
of the facilities to browse through websites. After attending
the computer classes provided by the Centre, I learnt the
techniques in using the computer. Now I know how to check
the learning progress of Ka Kai over the internet. The facilities
also enhance the communication between the school and me.
