Hong Kong Island West Rotary Club Some Remarkable Stories by Herbert K
Hong Kong Island West Rotary Club Some Remarkable Stories by Herbert K. Lau (劉敬恒) (Rotary China Historian) 1 April 2014 The Rotary Club of Hong Kong Island West (香港西區扶輪社) used to be one of the prominent clubs in Hong Kong since its inception in 1954. Here are some of the remarkable stories that may gain your round of applause … (1) Home for Typhoon Wanda Disaster Victims in 1962 In late 1962, the Rotary Club of Hong Kong Island West built a Rotary Village that provided homes for typhoon-stricken families. Covering what was formerly a barren hillside on Mount Davis (摩星嶺), the Village (see photo) provided permanent housing for 64 families, a total of 337 persons, all were victims of the 1962 Typhoon Wanda. Typhoon Wanda was the most intense tropical cyclone on record in Hong Kong. It was the 59th disturbance in the record-breaking 1962 Pacific typhoon season, forming in August from east of The Philippines. Typhoon Wanda reached peak winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) in the South China Sea, and it made landfall on Hong Kong on September 1, producing gusts of 261 km/h (161 mph) which, in combination with a high storm surge, damaged thousands of huts and left 72,000 people homeless. Wanda left a total of 434 deaths, and it is estimated that an identical typhoon striking today would cause HK$2.6 billion (US$335 million) in losses. 1 Rotary International President Nitish C. Laharry (Calcutta, India) (first left in photo) inspected the Village during his presidential visit to Hong Kong in spring 1963. -

Social Welfare Development in Hong Kong and the Role of Religion During the early colonial period of Hong Kong,social welfare and charity were mainly provided by religious groups and local Chinese philanthropists.The role of the govern- ment in delivering social services was passive and minimal because of the lack of financial 웋 Christian groups offer 70%of the total social services in Hong Kong.Adding Buddhism,Taoism,and other religious groups into the calculation,social services offered by religious groups in Hong Kong could be over 70%. -

JORC Report 2008
JORC Report 2008 The Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission (“JORC”) Report has adopted a new format since 2007. Previously, our Report contained information about the JORC, gave an account of its important work during the year and described the different levels of court to give a comprehensive picture of the judicial offices within the responsibility of the JORC. Such information is now separately provided in two reports. First, a new report entitled “Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission” has been issued. This provides an account of the JORC and describes the different levels of court. It has been uploaded on our website. Secondly, an annual report which will concentrate on the work of the JORC during the year will be issued. In an effort to contribute to the protection of the environment, we will no longer publish a paper version of the “Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission” Report or the annual report. Both will only be uploaded on our Website. We hope you will enjoy reading this Report and gain a better understanding of the JORC during 2008. Andrew Li Chief Justice Chairman of the Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission Membership of JORC 1. In 2008, the Chief Executive re-appointed two members of JORC and appointed one new member to JORC for a term of two years from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2010.
