曹光彪書院在2020/2021學年成立唐心兒小組,面向院生招募義工,主要為“澳門唐心兒協會”的唐寶寶(患有唐氏綜合征的孩子)服務。在這一學年,小組成員共策劃和組織數次活動及服務,包括教授唐寶寶製作聖誕小屋、新年賀卡、進行簡單的肢體遊戲、舉辦節日派對、協助電影《心兒》放映會等。作為本學年的最後一次活動,小組成員邀請了唐寶寶及其家人回訪書院,讓他們了解和認識義工哥哥姐姐生活、學習的地方。

唐寶寶和家人到達書院後,即受到劉潤東院長和義工的熱烈歡迎。首先由院長介紹書院之行星部落以及其他書院特色和活動,接着唐寶寶便在義工的帶領下參觀書院基礎設施以及各書院品牌。參觀過後,他們分成了兩組,分別到Infinite Coffee*學習在飲料上拉花,以及到Pi Studio*拍攝溫馨家庭照。然後,兩組唐寶寶在Nebula Studio*成員的指導下製作了精美相框。最後,他們和家人在義工的陪同下到書院飯堂享用午餐,為是次回訪畫上句號。

澳門唐心兒協會理事長劉笑歡女士表示,十分感謝書院安排是次參訪,讓唐寶寶和家人有機會走進大學,走進書院,體驗書院的特色活動。她還感謝唐心兒小組為協會的唐寶寶服務,並肯定同學的付出和努力。書院和協會均期待後續的合作。

The Down Syndrome Buddy Group was established by CKPC in AY2020/2021, which recruits volunteers from the college and aims at serving the buddies from the Macau Down Syndrome Association. Throughout the academic year, our volunteers have organized different activities, like handicraft workshop, festive gatherings, games etc. In early May, our volunteers invited the Down Syndrome buddies to pay a visit to our college to learn about the place where we study and we live.

The buddies were warmly welcomed by College Master, Dr. Lau, who then introduced our planet tribes and distinctive college brands and activities. After that, they had a tour around the college and they split into two groups; one learnt how to work on latte art at Infinite Coffee while the other took family photos at Pi Studios. Finally, the buddies got together again to work on an artistic photo frame under the guidance of Nebula Studio (the three being unique college brands run by students). The visit came to an end after a loving and hearty meal at the college dining hall.

Chairman of Executive Board from the Macau Down Syndrome Association Ms. Lau thanked the college for organizing such visit, which gave the buddies and their family a chance to walk into the college and into the university. She also appreciated our volunteers for their devotion and service. Both the Association and the College look forward to future cooperation.
