Henry Fok Pearl Jubilee College successfully held the ‘Service Learning Trip in Guangzhou’

Henry Fok Pearl Jubilee College (HFPJC) and the Macau Volunteer Youth Association jointly organized the ‘Service Learning Trip in Guangzhou’. The College delegation, which consisted of College members and Fellow, Ms. Sara Chang, visited Guangzhou from 28 to 29 October.  During the trip, they had a sharing session with the volunteers from Guangzhou Volunteer Association, provided community services to local children, and visited the patriotic education base.  The trip was fruitful and members gained a lot of memorable experiences in these two days.

The delegation first visited the Guangzhou Volunteer Association and received a warm reception from the local volunteers.  The two groups shared interesting experiences among each other and got inspired by the experiences from other senior volunteers.  The delegation then visited the Guangzhou Second Social (Children) Welfare Home and had some interactive artwork session with the residents.  Together, the two groups made some creative clay paintings which displayed the notion of childhood innocence.  Li Yujie, a student from HFPJC said, ‘Although the children have physical disabilities, they are positive and optimistic and smile at life. God may have closed a door for them, but he has given them a keener perception of other areas’;  Another HFPJC student, Long Zhouchun said, ‘For children with special needs, do not have the opportunity to experience the wonderful world outside. However, I think maybe they are in a special environment jointly built by the government and caring people, and they will feel the beautiful side of the world!’

The delegation also visited the former site of Whampoa Military Academy and the 1911 Revolution Memorial Hall. Through detail descriptions by the onsite curators, members learned about the sacrifices and contributions made by their ancestors during the revolution and national reunification. While being deeply moved, they firmly believe that the ancestors’ patriotic spirit will pass on to the younger generation and our members are dedicated to serve and contribute to our Country.

 

霍英東珍禧書院成功舉辦”廣州服務學習之旅”

霍英東珍禧書院與澳門義務青年會合辦“廣州服務學習之旅＂，書院導師曾結萍帶領院生於10月28-29日到訪廣州與義工機構交流及參與服務，以及參觀愛國教育基地，行程豐富，收獲滿滿。

代表團首先到訪廣州志願者協會，獲當地志願者們的熱情接待，雙方互相分享和交流做義工的經驗和心得，也從資深義工的經歷分享中對生有所啟發和感悟。

代表團其後到訪廣州市第二社會（兒童）福利院參觀並與福利院院友互動，合作製成黏土畫，作品富有創意和童真。院生李榆婕感慨：孩子們雖然身體有殘缺，但是他們積極樂觀，笑對生活。上帝可能給他們關上了一扇門，卻給予了他們對其他領域更加敏銳的感知力；院生龍周純表示：對於特殊兒童來說，他們沒有去體會外面精彩世界的機會。但我想也許他們身處在一個由政府與愛心人士共同構建的特殊環境裡，也會覺得這個所能觸及到的有限的世界是美好的！

代表團於翌日參觀了黃埔軍校舊址和辛亥革命紀念館，透過講解和陳列展品，明白先輩為革命和國家統一所作的犠牲和貢獻，深受感動之餘，也明白祖國取得今天偉大成就的來之不易，堅定了日後要繼承革命先輩衣鉢，為祖國強大貢獻力量，成為新時代的接班人。
