同學們在中心工場看到學員親手製作手工藝品。
On 12th November, 2014, the Society and Community Service Working Group of Stanley Ho East Asia College successfully organized a visit to Caritas Macau Sunshine Center (previously known as Sheltered Workshop for the Disabled). This activity was intended to let students understand the living conditions of people with disabilities, so as to realize their perseverance in the face of adversity.
Center-in-charge Ms. Leong of Sunshine Center first introduced the aims and functions of the center and its history. The center provides various types of training to people with disabilities to enhance their employability for future job prospects. Then the students visited the IT department, which is mainly used to teach software used for administrative work and graphic designs. Their works, such as Christmas cards and calendar, were also showcased in the room. After that, the participants had a brief tour in the handicraft workstation, where trainees do works like souvenir making and general packaging.
Students made their own egg tart-like soaps in the workshop under the guidance of the trainees.

The students witnessed a group of trainees with different levels of disabilities completed fine pieces of handicrafts with efforts, and felt that the trainees proved their value to society.
At last, there was a DIY soap workshop guided by two trainees of the center. The participants chopped the raw materials, put the mixture into the micro-wave oven for heating, and eventually an “egg tart”-like soap was made. The students encountered difficulty in the production process, yet the trainees showed that making soaps was just a little piece of cake. At the end of the visit, the students bought some of their handmade products to show their support.

「走進」澳門明愛創明坊
2014年11月12日，由何鴻燊東亞書院學生會Society & Community Service Working Group舉辦一場名為「體驗創明坊」的熱心公益活動 ，組織同學參訪澳門明愛創明坊（前身為傷殘人士社會服務中心暨庇護工廠），意在體驗傷殘人士不一樣的生活模式，感同身受他們在逆境中生存的堅毅。
下午兩點報名參與活動的十多名同學陸續在書院大堂集合，然後搭上巴士前往活動目的地——位於台山的創明坊。
眾人來到創明坊，中心主任首先介紹創明坊的性質和歷史以及提供培訓手做技能、康復訓練、教授專業知識等服務。接下來參觀了電腦部，此處的作用在於教文書處理及平面設計，現場亦可以見到他們的作品，包括聖誕卡、日曆之類。接着參觀了中心的工場和小賣部，親眼目睹一群傷殘人士憑藉自己的努力完成一件又一件精美的作品，他們在默默地向這世界證明他們存在的價值。
Students had a group photo with their finished handmade soaps.

最後同學們在中心學員指導下親自動手做肥皂，首先得將未加工過的物品切碎，再經微波爐加熱後經過一系列「炮製」出一個蛋撻形狀的肥皂，這項手工的難度和學員們所做的作品相比實為皮毛。在行程結束之際，大家都不忘去銷售部購買創明坊學員所生產出來的手工製品，揣着濃濃的愛心作為暫時的告別。
