2023年8月，曹光彪書院義教團在書院招募新團員，接著做訓練，建立團隊，準備教案，進行試教。經過三個多月緊張準備，12月18至22日，17位義教團員到貴州從江縣貫洞鎮幹團美娥小學義教。
這是義教團第6次到幹團美娥小學為小朋友服務，內容包括英語、體育、藝術，最後一天也為全校小朋友舉辦了園遊會。
幹團美娥小學近年不斷增加來自從江縣西部新移民的學生，目前總共有16個班近750學生。義教期間，義教團全部團員以“班主任”角色參與早讀課，並分成英語、體育、藝術三組，集中給三和四年級上課。
義教五天共有28節課，包括不少創新和特色內容，例如藝術課做意大利薄餅手工、用音樂表達動物、用塑料水瓶和綠豆製作沙槌樂器、結合天文星座的藝術畫“我的星空”、體育和文化融合的華爾茲舞蹈、加入比賽元素的躲避球等。英語則通過課室內物品、水果和五官，以及課堂小遊戲提高學生的學習動力。
上課中遇到的最大挑戰是每班人數多，大多數班都超過40，其中四年級更接近60。為了有效控制課堂秩序，義教團每一課由全組5-6位哥哥姐姐一起出動，課堂活動也分成小組進行。
有些課室的電腦失靈，以致試教時準備好的動畫PPT等內容無法使用。小組前一晚臨時把內容變成真人演出版，並製作動物大卡紙等道具，上課時全組合作，終於順利完成教學。
團隊的充分合作，加上創意的活動設計，讓全部小朋友都能參與。貴州小朋友一如既往的熱情，積極參與，除了給哥哥姐姐寫信，也有小朋友自發製作小手工送給他們。臨別的依依不捨，眼淚盈盈地手牽手，都給團員們留下不可磨滅的記憶。
義教最後一天，院長、正副團長跟學校校長開會總結。團長匯報了這次義教的成果，校長也充分肯定了義教的價值，並期待下一期繼續以英語、體育、和藝術課開展義教。他也鼓勵大家想辦法照顧一些特殊狀況的學生，例如一些較孤獨的小朋友、好動的學生等等。
義教團每天下午都做當天總結，並實時調整教學安排。最後一天晚總結大會後，確立其中一位副團長晉升為第7期團長，並選出了兩位新的副團長。大家期待第7期再接再厲，一直義教，一直改變！
In August 2023, CKPC Voluntary Teaching Group recruited new members. After more than three months of preparation, from 18 to 22 December, 17 members of the group went to Guizhou Province to teach at Gongtuan Mei’e Primary School in Congjiang County.
This was the sixth time that the Volunteer Teaching Group had served the children of Gongtuan Mei’e Primary School. The Group gave classes on English, sports and arts. And on the last day, they organized game booths for all the children in the school.
In recent years, the school has seen an increase in the number of students from new immigrants from the western part of Congjiang County. It now has nearly 750 students in 16 classes. CKPC Voluntary Teaching Group members participated in the morning reading class and divided into three groups to concentrate on teaching the third and fourth grades.
There were 28 lessons during the five days of voluntary teaching, including many innovative and special contents, such as making Italian pizza crafts in the art class, representing animals through music, making sand mallet musical instruments with plastic water bottles and green beans, an art painting combining astronomical constellations (“My Starry Sky”), waltz dance integrating sports and culture, and dodge ball with elements of competition, etc. In English lessons, students are motivated through the use of objects in the classroom, fruits and five senses, and classroom games.
The biggest challenge was the large number of students in each class, with most classes having over 40 students, and the fourth grade having close to 60. In order to effectively control the order in the classroom, the Voluntary Teaching Group deployed 5-6 members in each class, and the classroom activities were divided into small groups.
The computers in some of the classrooms were out of order, so the animations and PPTs that had been prepared during the trial lesson could not be used. The group temporarily changed the content into a live version the night before, and finally completed the teaching successfully.
Through the team’s full cooperation and creative activity design, all the children were able to participate. The children from Guizhou were as enthusiastic as ever. In addition to writing letters to the big brothers and sisters, some children even made small handicrafts to give to them. The farewell was filled with reluctance as tears welled up and hands were held, leaving indelible memories for members of Voluntary Teaching Group.
On the last day at school, Master Lau and the Voluntary Teaching Group leaders had a meeting with the school principal. The team leader reported on the achievements of the volunteer teaching, and the principal fully acknowledged the value of the volunteer teaching and looked forward to continuing the volunteer teaching in the next semester. He also encouraged everyone to find ways to take care of special situations, such as lonely children and energetic students.
Every afternoon, the team conducted summary discussion for the day and made adjustments to the teaching arrangements when needed. On the last night, one of the Vice Leaders was promoted to be the 7th Group Leader and two new Vice Leaders were elected. We all look forward to the 7th term to keep up the good work, keep on teaching and keep on making changes!
