Fair Trade and Homemade Cookie Booth
公平貿易和曲奇攤位
On Saturday 19th March, 2016, the University of Macau held “UM VIP Day” for the general public to visit the campus and facilities, including residential colleges, as part of the celebration of its 35th anniversary. In addition to guiding visitors to tour around the common facilities of the College, the House Association (HA) of Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) organized a charity bazaar to raise fund for families and children in remote parts of Sichuan and Yunnan that two groups of SHEAC students are going to visit respectively this summer.
College Master Prof. Iu Vai Pan visited the charity bazaar to show support to the students.

On the day, visitors were spoiled with choice: home-baked cookies, fresh orange juice, freshly made takoyaki (octopus balls) and waffles, a variety of handmade accessories, and organic planting demonstration with vegetable seeds and soil pots on sale. In addition, a local fair trade and healthy concept store was invited to participate in the bazaar. The shop offered various types of fair trade food and beverage. A certain percentage of the total revenue was contributed as donation for the fund-raising campaign. 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 own abilities to do something; working together as a team, the participating students seemed to devoid of fatigue and totally immersed in the bazaar from 10am to 6pm. Their devotion had raised more than MOP 5,000 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 in the summer. A follow-up report will be released to provide the details about the implementation and usage of these funds.
The charity bazaar drew a huge crowd of visitors to the College.

為慶祝澳門大學35週年，澳大於2016年3月19號（週六）舉辦了名為「3.19澳大校慶VIP Day」的大學開放日活動，親臨校園的市民大眾除了可以參觀書院內部公共設施和了解學生活動外，亦可參加由何鴻燊東亞書院學生會舉辦的義賣暨嘉年華會。此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。
Another collaborative achievement by SHEAC students
書院同學們再次實現另一個協作成果
近一個月的時間，從提出活動方案及流程、招募幫手、設計攤位、訓練製作現做食物，到準備材料，活動宣傳，都傾注了同學的努力與汗水。
開放日當天，天公雖不作美，卻不影響同學們熱情推銷自己烘培的愛心曲奇餅乾，鮮榨橙汁、即做窩夫餅和章魚小丸子，同時還有現場展示有機種植，以及銷售同學們較早前在書院舉辦的手工作坊自製的飾物。其中本地公平貿易健康概念商店寄賣攤位，更藉此時機向公眾宣傳公平貿易的訊息，書院亦獲得相當的百分比的善款。
Fresh waffles were very popular at the charity bazaar.

由早上十時到下午六時，積極熱心的同學們以身體力行的叫賣、宣傳與推銷為四川和雲南的小朋友們籌得超過澳門幣五千元的善款。大家都相信只要每個人都盡一份力，就能幫到有需要的人，而且同學們通過義賣活動更獲得了珍貴的友誼和幫助他人的快樂！
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。
