為促進社區共融與關懷，曹光彪書院唐心兒小組與澳門唐心兒協會於2026年3月28日上午共同舉辦「冰糖葫蘆製作體驗課」，以春日甜蜜與暖意，搭建起唐寶寶與青年義工之間的互動橋樑。
活動當日，在義工哥哥姐姐的帶領下，唐寶寶們親身體驗了冰糖葫蘆的完整製作過程。小組成員分工合作，分批指導唐寶寶清洗水果、自行搭配喜愛的水果組合，並親手串成串。隨後，大家以白砂糖熬製糖漿，並為水果串均勻裹上晶瑩糖衣。製作完成後，唐寶寶們踴躍品嚐自己的作品，並熱情分享成果與喜悅，現場氣氛溫馨愉快。
值得一提的是，活動過程中，唐心兒小組成員根據現場情況適時調整流程，展現出靈活應變與團隊協作的能力。透過此次實務體驗，成員們不僅提升了社會責任感，也進一步強化了公民責任意識。
展望未來，唐心兒小組已著手策劃四月份於澳門大學舉辦小型運動會，屆時將邀請澳門唐心兒協會的唐寶寶們走進澳大校園，參與更豐富的體育活動，持續推動共融與關懷的社會價值。

To promote community inclusion and mutual care, the Down Syndrome Buddy Group of Chao Kuang Piu College, in collaboration with the Macau Down Syndrome Association, held a “Rock Candy Hawthorn Fruit (Bingtanghulu) Making Workshop” on the morning of March 28, 2026. The event used the sweetness and warmth of spring to build a bridge of interaction between young volunteers and individuals with Down syndrome (“Down babies”).
During the event, led by volunteers, the Down babies experienced the entire process of making rock candy hawthorn fruit. Group members divided tasks and worked in batches, guiding the Down babies in washing the fruit, selecting their favorite fruit combinations, and skewering them by hand. Subsequently, everyone boiled sugar syrup using white granulated sugar and evenly coated the fruit skewers with the glossy syrup. After the treats were finished, the Down babies eagerly tasted their own creations and enthusiastically shared their accomplishments and joy, creating a warm and happy atmosphere.
Notably, throughout the activity, members of the Down Syndrome Buddy Group adjusted procedures as needed according to the real-time situation, demonstrating flexibility, adaptability, and teamwork. Through this hands-on experience, the members not only enhanced their sense of social responsibility but also further strengthened their awareness of civic duty.
Looking ahead, the Down Syndrome Buddy Group is already planning a small-scale sports meet to be held on the campus of the University of Macau in April. At that time, Down babies from the Macau Down Syndrome Association will be invited to step onto the UM campus and participate in a wider variety of sports activities, continuing to promote the social values of inclusion and care.
