On Sunday 29 March, 2015, the House Association (HA) of Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) held a charity bazaar cum carnival coincided the University’s Open Day. Apart from visiting the College and learning about student activities, the SHEAC HA hoped that it was a great opportunity to hold a fund-raising campaign for children in need – Two groups of SHEAC students are going to visit Sichuan and Yunnan during the service-learning trips organized by the College this summer.

Volunteers explained to the visitors about the earthquake disasters previously suffered by Yunnan and Sichuan. 同學們向參觀者解釋雲南景谷及四川汶川之前受過的地震災害。

Over the past month, even up until the day before the bazaar, students had been busy with the preparation and organization: from drafting proposals and workflows, recruiting volunteers, designing booth games, training to prepare made-to-order snacks, to purchasing materials, and promoting activity.

On the day, visitors were spoiled with choice: home-baked cookies and cupcakes, freshly made cotton candy and takoyaki (octopus balls), Dali rose honey, as well as a series of fun and dynamic games. In addition, a local fair trade and healthy concept store and the UM’s Entrepreneurship Society were invited to participate in the bazaar. The former offered various types of fair trade food and beverage, as well as handmade soaps; the latter offered a range of cute dolls, stationery, and small tools. A certain percentage of the total revenue was contributed as donation for the fund-raising campaign. Meanwhile, one SHEAC student performed live violin, offering visitors an alternative kind of enjoyment during the visit. Students even spoke through a microphone to attract visitors about the ongoing bazaar.

Taking it at heart to help children in the mountainous areas; using our abilities to do something; working together as a team, the participating students seemed to devoid of fatigue and totally immersed in the bazaar from noon to six o’clock. Their devotion had raised a total of MOP 8,136.1 for those in need in Sichuan and Yunnan. Through this series of activity, our fellow students also found the joy of helping others!

The funds raised in this event will be used for purchasing necessities or supporting development projects, through local non-profit organizations, for villagers and children in the remote areas of Jinggu in Yunnan and Shuimo in Sichuan. These locations are the destinations of the two forthcoming service-learning trips organized by the College this summer. A follow-up report will be released to provide the details about the implementation and usage of these funds.

這些是給有需要孩子們的愛 何鴻燊東亞書院義賣為四川、雲南小朋友籌得超過八千元善款

於2015年3月29號(週日)澳門大學在新校園第一次舉辦開放日,參觀者除了前來書院參觀和了解學生活動外,何鴻燊東亞書院學生會同時利用這次大型全校性活動的機會舉辦了一場義賣暨嘉年華會。這次活動主要為書院暑假期間進行的服務學習之旅前往的目的地─四川和雲南─的偏遠山區的家庭和小朋友籌款。

直到義賣前一天的近一個月以來,同學們從提出活動方案及流程、招募幫手、設計遊戲攤位、訓練製作現做食物、以至準備材料,還有活動宣傳,都認真投入準備工作。

The Milion puppet seemed to have already become a member of SHEAC. How could we miss him this time? 小黃人大人偶彷彿己成了書院的成員之一,這次大型活動又怎麼可以少了他呢?

義賣嘉年華當天,同學們落力推銷自己烘培的小餅乾和杯子蛋糕、現做的棉花糖和章魚小丸子、大理的玫瑰蜜,現場還為遊人們準備鬥智鬥力的小遊戲。其中特別邀請本地公平貿易健康概念商店以及澳大創業學會合作,前者供應了各類公平貿易食品飲料和手工肥皂,藉以宣傳公平貿易的訊息,後者提供了公仔、文具和各種小玩意,書院從中可獲得相當的百分比作為善款。同時,書院同學更即席表演小提琴,遊人們邊吃邊玩還可以欣賞到美妙的音樂。同學們更不時用話筒推廣義賣籌款活動,吸引不少澳大的來賓前來參觀。

Visitors enjoyed the rose honey brought by our student from Dali, Yunnan. 訪客們對同學從雲南大理帶回來的玫瑰蜜讚不絕口。

因為帶著幫助山區孩子的心,因為能夠出一分力,因為相信只要每個人都盡一份力就能幫到有需要的人,因為相信,所以堅持!同學們似乎忘記了疲勞,由中午到六點,一心齊心協力用自己的雙手協助義賣,用行動為四川和雲南的小朋友們籌得共澳門幣8136.1的善款。而且同學們通過義賣活動更體會到幫助他人的快樂和幸福!

本次活動所籌募款項將用於我們書院舉辦的暑期雲南景谷及四川汶川水磨兩項服務學習之旅時,透過當地機構組織,為偏遠山區村民和小朋友添置所需用品或資助所需發展項目,落實後將有跟進報告以保持善款去向的透明度。
