11月末,曹光彪書院唐心兒小組成員到澳門唐心兒協會開展甜品製作活動,製作楊枝甘露、芋泥奶茶等甜品為唐寶寶送上秋日溫暖。

抵達活動中心後,大家首先進行簡單的熱身。在熱身結束後,小組成員們帶領唐心兒一起切水果,一步步耐心引導唐心兒們如何使用刀具、切芒果、剝西柚,用部分芒果和椰漿榨汁後再放入大家切好的水果,大家一起完成並品嚐了香甜可口的楊枝甘露。芋泥蒸好後,哥哥姊姊們演示如何在蒸好的芋頭和蕃薯中加入木薯澱粉和牛奶,像揉麵團一樣揉成芋圓團,再分到各位唐心兒手中,讓大家動手搓成一顆顆的芋泥球。最後,他們把煮熟的芋圓加入到哥哥姊姊們預先準備好的奶茶中,再混入煮好的西米,一杯美味的芋圓西米奶茶便做好了。活動過程中,唐心兒展現出他們對這些甜品的喜愛,興奮地品嚐自己的成品。

通過這次活動,讓哥哥姊姊們和唐寶寶們學習如何製作楊枝甘露,如何烹煮奶茶,更讓大家放鬆心情。小組成員也在積極籌劃下一期活動,持續傳遞更多的關懷與溫暖給唐寶寶們,共同傳播共融與和諧的環境,期待更多有趣的活動和更緊密的合作。

In late October, members of Chao Kuang Piu College Down Syndrome Buddy Group went to the Macau Down Syndrome Association to make yummy food with children, including dessert and taro bubble tea.

Everyone started with a simple warm-up dance. Then members led the Down Syndrome children to cut fruits together, patiently guiding them step by step on how to use the knives, cut mangoes, peel grapefruit, use part of the mangoes and coconut milk to squeeze the juice into the cut fruits, and then they tasted the sweet and delicious dessert together. After steaming the mashed taro, the volunteers showed the children how to add tapioca starch and milk to the steamed taro and sweet potato, knead them like dough to form taro balls, and then distribute them to all the children so that they could knead them with their fingers to form mashed taro balls. The children kneaded and rolled the taro balls and had great fun, just like playing with clay. Finally, they added the cooked taro balls to the milk tea, and a delicious cup of taro bubble tea was ready. During the activity, the children showed their love for the desserts and were excited to taste them.

Through this activity, the children learned how to make yummy desserts. Members of the group are also actively planning for the forthcoming activities. They continue to spread more care and warmth to the children with Down syndrome and share the positive message of Inclusion and peace in our community. We are also looking forward to more interesting activities and closer cooperation in the future.
