曹光彪書院唐心兒小組與澳門唐心兒協會携手合作，致力為唐寶寶送上陪伴和關懷。義工們於4月下旬與唐寶寶及家人一起動手做美食，作為本學年最後一次活動。
活動開始前唐寶寶已興奮的洗乾淨了手，然後圍在桌子旁聆聽義工的講解。講解結束後，唐寶寶分成小組，開始動手做美食。首先，唐寶寶需要稱量材料，然後進行混合和攪拌。他們都十分投入，一點一點的把材料拌勻，為了做出最順滑的糯米團。在等待糯米團蒸煮時，他們並沒有閑下來，而是馬上投入到壽司的製作。義工指導唐寶寶如何把米飯平鋪在紫菜上。唐寶寶都十分興奮，爭着選取他們喜歡的食材，親手製作。從拌入壽司醋、煎雞蛋，到鋪上醬料和食材等，均主要由唐寶寶完成。壽司卷好後，唐寶寶和家人馬上進行試食。義工也一同分享了美味的食物，大家都十分滿足。緊接着便是製作糯米磁的時間。大家紛紛戴上一次性手套，取來適量糯米團放手裡來回揉搓並包入餡料。揉搓至成型之後，再放進裝滿巧克力粉的碗中，使糯米團沾滿粉便能享用！唐寶寶似乎對這粘粘軟軟的物體很感興趣，揉搓的過程就像玩泥膠一樣，他們都十分開心。
活動結束後，義工和唐寶寶積極展示自己的成果並合影留念。本學年的活動不僅提高了義工對社區服務的意識，也培養了奉獻精神和責任感。讓每個人都能感受到自己的行動對社會成員的影響力，讓弱勢群體感受到來自社會對他們的關懷，促進建設共榮社會。

CKPC Down Syndrome Buddy Group and Macau Down Syndrome Association have joined hands to provide companionship and care to the children with Down syndrome. Volunteers organized the last activity for this academic year, which was to make yummy finger food with the children and their parents.
Before the start of the activity, the children washed their hands excitedly and gathered around the table to listen to the volunteers’ explanations. Then, they got into small groups and started to make the food. First, they had to weigh the ingredients, then mix and stir. They mixed the ingredients little by little in order to make the smoothest glutinous rice dough. While waiting for the glutinous rice dough to steam, they didn’t take a break and got right to work on the sushi. Volunteers showed the children how to lay the rice on top of the seaweed. The children were very excited to make the sushi themselves. From mixing the sushi vinegar, frying the eggs, and spreading the sauces and ingredients, the children did most of the work. After the sushi was rolled up, they had a taste of the food right away. Volunteers also shared the delicious food and everyone was very satisfied. Next, it was time to make mochi. Everyone put on disposable gloves and took the appropriate amount of glutinous rice dough, kneaded it back and forth and wrapped it with fillings. After being kneaded and shaped, they were put into a bowl filled with chocolate powder to be coated and ready to be enjoyed! The children seemed to be very interested in the sticky and soft objects, and they had a lot of fun as the process was just like playing with clay.
At the end of the activity, the volunteers and the children actively showed off their work and took photos together. The activities in this school year not only raised the volunteers’ awareness of community service, but also cultivated the spirit of dedication and sense of responsibility. Everyone can feel the impact of their actions on the members of the community, so that the disadvantaged groups can feel the care from the society and promote the building of an inclusive society.
