澳門大學曹光彪書院唐心兒小組於2025年3月下旬到訪澳門唐心兒協會並作爲義工幫助澳門唐氏綜合症人士融入社會。此次活動旨在通過一系列精心設計的環節，加深社區對唐氏綜合症人士的理解和接納，消除偏見，共築包容和諧的社區環境。

2025年3月最後一個週末為澳門唐心兒協會所舉辦的「321唐心·關心社區共融推廣日」。活動期間，澳門唐心兒協會敞開大門，迎接來自四面八方的參與者。為確保活動的順利進行，主辦方策劃了兩天的活動流程，分爲五個時間段供市民即時入場參與，確保每位有意者都能有機會加入這場共融的盛宴。本次的規模不僅體現了社會各界對此活動的關注，也彰顯了社區對於多元融合的共同期待。

來自澳門大學曹光彪書院唐心兒小組的義工哥哥姐姐提前準備了豐富的攤位活動，以及協助協會人員進行義賣。開放日期間，義工陪伴唐心兒走到街道上對社會其他人士進行宣傳。在街道宣傳過程中，唐寶寶表現出很高的積極性和主動性，他們獨立與市民進行溝通，在他們需要幫助的時候義工們在旁輔助，及時給予鼓勵。

期待未來大家能夠更清晰認識唐氏綜合症群體並給予他們關愛與關懷，而唐心兒小組也將繼續懷着熱情與愛心，幫助澳門唐心兒協會以及其他弱勢群體。

CKPC’s Down Syndrome Buddy Group visited the Macau Down Syndrome Association in late March 2025 to assist in the Association’s Open Day. The event aimed to foster greater community understanding and acceptance of people with Down syndrome through a series of carefully designed activities, breaking down prejudices and building a more inclusive and harmonious community environment.

The last weekend of March 2025 marked the “3.21 Down Syndrome Buddy Community Inclusion Promotion Day” hosted by the Macau Down Syndrome Association. During the event, the association opened its doors to welcome participants from the community. To ensure the smooth running of the activities, the organizers planned a two-day program divided into five time slots, allowing participants to join at their convenience and ensuring everyone had the opportunity to participate in this celebration of inclusion. The scale of the event not only reflected the community’s attention to the cause but also highlighted a shared aspiration for diversity and integration.

Volunteers from Down Syndrome Buddy Group prepared a variety of booth activities in advance and assisted the association in fundraising. The volunteers accompanied the children with Down syndrome to the streets to promote awareness among the public. Throughout the street campaign, the children showed great enthusiasm and initiative, independently communicating with different people while the volunteers provided support when needed and offered timely encouragement.

Looking ahead, we hope the community will gain a clearer understanding of individuals with Down syndrome and offer them more care and support. CKPC’s Down Syndrome Buddy Group will continue to carry forward their passion and compassion, assisting the Macau Down Syndrome Association and other disadvantageous groups in society.
