曹光彪書院於2020年成立“唐心兒小組”,與澳門唐心兒協會合作,目標是為澳門的唐寶寶及家人帶去陪伴和溫暖。本年的活動主題仍以藝術體驗和手作為主。
上學期澳門經受數波疫情影響,因此小組與協會未便進行活動,但這無損義工哥哥姐姐的熱情,一直與協會保持緊密的聯繫。待本學期小城開放後,小組於2月下旬為唐寶寶及家人組織了一場藝術體驗活動。義工們和唐寶寶先進行熱身活動,一起合作傳遞汽球,還有律動跳操。接着便兩人一組一同製作馬賽克音樂盒。過程中,義工姐姐和唐寶寶一起設計和協作。最後,唐寶寶伴隨着動感十足的音樂,手捧作品走秀。結束前,他們與義工分享感受和收穫。活動在一片歡樂聲中結束。
唐寶寶的家長表示除了要感謝書院義工為他們的孩子帶來歡樂,也很欣慰有一群哥哥姐姐時常記掛着唐寶。書院和協會均期待後續的交流、活動和合作。
The Down Syndrome Buddy Group was established by Chao Kuang Piu College in 2020. It works closely with the Macau Down Syndrome Association, with the aim to bring company and warmth to children with Down syndrome in Macau and their parents. The theme for activities this year is still “Art and Life”.
In the previous semester, the Group didn’t host too many activities due to the epidemic, but it is in close contact with the Association. This semester, as soon as Macau was opened up, the Group resumed planning and organizing activities for the children. In late February, volunteers from the Group had a gathering with the children. First, they warmed up by passing balloons and doing simple exercises. Then they paired up to work on Mosaic Music Boxes. Finally, the children cat walked with their art work and shared on their feelings. They all had fun and enjoyed the activities.
Parents of the children thanked the volunteers for brining company to their children and for their devotion for the Association. Both parties look forward to future cooperation and activities.
