Equipping
Youth in a Digital World
Technology has, quite literally, become a part of everyday life,
whether for education,
communication, business, trade, leisure or entertainment. Not
only have we become
dependent on various digital tools to make our lives easier,
we now realize that they
are an absolute necessity in order to remain competitive and
productive.
Young people especially need to be tech savvy. Therefore we
call upon all our
partners to help ensure that the youth of Hong Kong do not get
left behind in this
digital world. Please show your support and encouragement by
either providing us
with hard ware, like computers, or help sponsor training programmes.
To find out other ways to help, please contact Ms. Agnes Ng
or Ms. Connie Lee of the
Partnership and Resource Development Office at 2123 9598.
