There were no outings for the first half of the year due to the SARS outbreak. However, the clients enjoyed themselves exploring the new Esplanade and also, Chinese New Year shopping in Chinatown. 2 of the clients also participated in SDSC organized air rifle tryout and they enjoyed themselves. We hope to see more clients participating in SDSC sports events next year and also, at least an outing per quarter as the clients enjoy going out.
