Bulletin Number Three

Children with upper limb deficiencies include those born without hands or arms, and others who have had amputation. These children require special electronic hand prostheses which are very expensive and are not available in Government hospitals. The new Clinic is prepared to serve all children with such conditions in Hong Kong and aims at fitting at least ten children with the electronic hand prosthesis a year. An annual expenditure of HK$100,000 is estimated for the first year. This initial fund to cover the cost for the Clinic's first year's programme has been raised through a marathon charity run jointly organized by the two donor organizations. The two sponsors have also agreed to consider continual support for the coming years. Donation for Computer Communication Laboratory The University has recently received a donation of HK$1 million from Mr. William Mong, Chairman of the Shun Hing Group, for the establishment of a computer communication laboratory in the University. The new laboratory, to be known as ‘Mong Kwok Ping Computer Communication Laboratory', will be affiliated to the Department of Electronics. When established later in the year, the new laboratory will enable the University to further develop its research and teaching activities in the area of information technology. At a brief ceremony which took place in the University on 6th May, Mr. William Mong personally presented a cheque to the Vice-Chancellor. The Shun Hing Group has in the past rendered continual support to the University through the donation of scholarships, library fund as well as equipment to the Faculty of Medicine.
