'Celebrate the Ocean' Youth Programme

14 April 2013

‘Celebrate the Ocean’ Youth Programme, one of the RHKYC Charity Foundation initiatives, was organised to take children on a boat trip from Middle Island to Stanley. Volunteers from all sections of the Club came together to join 32 children from the Tung Wah Group, the YMCA and the Aberdeen Kai Fung Welfare Association and their counsellors.

The programme comprised a visit to Middle Island sailing facilities, a spectators’ view of the Middle Island Regatta, stopping by the
Dragon Boat racing in Repulse Bay and finally to Stanley to join in the activities arranged there as part of the Ocean Film Festival on the Stanley Promenade.

Whilst on board the two junks, the children listened to the volunteers who spoke with them about water sports – sailing regattas, rowing and dragon boating. The main presentation however was on marine conservation and how changing our everyday habits can help preserve the waters of Hong Kong. The volunteers spoke on the bio-diversity of Hong Kong and showed the children how water pollution can lead to the decline in local marine and bird life. The children and the volunteers thoroughly enjoyed the day out on the water in the sunshine and the hearty meal provided aboard.

‘Celebrate the Ocean’ Youth Programme was organised in conjunction with the Ocean Recovery Alliance and the Southern District
Council and as part of the Hong Kong – San Francisco Ocean Film Festival.

We would like to thank all the volunteers for their organisation and giving their time to be part of this event for the RHKYC Charity
Foundation. Particular thanks go to RHKYC members Doug Woodring and Andrew Russell representing the Ocean Recovery Alliance and to Marcy Trent Long for organising the day’s programme.
