基督教香港信義會社會服務部

星期日除咗行街、睇戲、食飯之外,仲可以好似禮頓建築(亞洲)有限公司嘅同事咁選擇做義工。2012月6月10日,佢哋就去到基督教香港信義會社會服務部,沙田多元化老人社區服務中心,同一班精靈老友記歡度星期日嘞!

Apart from shopping, watching movies, hanging out with friends on Sundays, are there any other alternatives? Volunteers from Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited visited the Shatin Multi-Service Centre for the Elderly of Evangelical Lutheran Church Social Service to spend a meaningful morning with the elderly on 10 June 2012.


為使活動盡善盡美,禮頓建築嘅同事同社工事前開會商討安排。
Good preparation is half of the success. Volunteers met with social worker and planned their visit with great care.


探訪當日,義工們分工合作,作最後準備。
Teamwork prevails! On the day of visit, everyone worked together as one.


小小心意,唔成敬意!滿車嘅禮物全部送俾老友記!

老友記已經喺度熱切等待!

「我知!」「我舉手先架!」
“I know!” “Me! Me!”


比完常識,再玩「世界之最」。睇下邊個手掌最細先。
“The Best of the World” – let’s find out whose palm is the smallest.


兩隻手可以兩邊拉到幾長呢?
How far can those arms stretch?


贏咗嗰組當然有禮物啦!
The champions are presented with a lot of gifts.


義工個個企定定,眼仔碌碌,咩事呢……?

賽馬會匡智新翠工場

多年來,中國銀行(香港)(「中銀香港」)「愛心活力義工隊」積極參與社會公益活動。2012年3月31日,該義工隊一行近80人前往賽馬會匡智新翠工場,協助匡智會學員製作馬賽克相架。

BOCHK Dynamic Volunteer Team actively participated in various community services over the years. On 31 March 2012, around 80 BOCHK volunteers visited The Jockey Club’s Hong Chi Sun Chui Workshop to help the students there make mosaic photo frames.



中銀香港義工聚精會神地聆聽社工介紹,學習和掌握與智障人士相處的技巧。

BOCHK volunteers listened attentively to the social workers to learn the skills of communicating with the intellectually disabled.



熱情融化隔膜,大家轉眼已經打成一片。

Who needs an ice-breaker when everyone is so friendly!



一拼一貼,彼此關係更加接近。

The more we worked, the closer we got as a team.



你設計,我剪裁,大家團結一致,合作無間。

You design and I execute. What a wonderful team we make!



快樂的一天瞬間過去!大家會繼續將愛心傳遍社會每個角落,幫助更多有需要的人士。

A happy day was well spent. Let us continue our efforts to promote love and care to the needy.

明愛賽馬會梨木樹青少年綜合服務中心

來自敦沛金融控股有限公司嘅義工,唔單止有顆助人為樂嘅善心,仲有難能可貴嘅童心!2012年3月24日,成班「大細路」去到明愛賽馬會梨木樹青少年綜合服務中心,同一班小朋友玩遊戲、做手工,大家打成一片,樂也融融。

A group of kidult volunteers from Tanrich Financial Holdings Limited shared a lot of fun with their young buddies from the centre of “Caritas Jockey Club Integrated Service for Young People - Lei Muk Shue” by playing games and making Mosaic photo frames together on 24 March 2012.



除咗講解活動流程之外,社工亦同義工講及參與活動嘅小朋友嘅背景。佢哋父母工時長,親子時間相對少。對基層家庭而言,青少年中心能夠發揮「託管」嘅作用,以各式各樣嘅活動同設施作招徠,令呢班小朋友能夠享受童年樂趣。

Social worker briefed the volunteers on the service and background of these young beneficiaries. Coming from low-income families, these youngsters join the centre’s activities and use its facilities as their parents work long hours which result in little family time and lack of parenting.



「大細路」同「細路哥」彼此相見歡!
 
The kids and the kidults got on like a house on fire.



分組遊戲比賽開始!

Let’s get the games underway!


 
「Draw Something」真人版——每組輪流喺白板上畫畫,其他組別估中再用英文講出答案為之贏。

“Draw Something” live version! A group would draw an item while other groups compete to give out the answer in English.


「我知!我知!」個個都舉手,呢題一定好易啦!

“I know! I know!” This must be a simple one for all.



「我哋就係今日嘅大贏家啦!Yeah……」

“We are the champion, yeah~~~”



 緊張刺激嘅遊戲之後,大家搖身變成藝術家,用馬賽克設計自己心儀嘅相架。

After the game, everyone became an artist to design their own stylish Mosaic photo frame.



「我嘅設計係要展現凌亂美!」

“My design is to show the beauty of messiness!”



「我哋嘅設計靈感來自日常生活——整齊。」

“Our designs are inspired from our everyday life -- TIDINESS”.



各具創意、特色同個性嘅相架,急不及待要馬上用嚟裱起大家通力合作嘅愉快回憶。

The happy memories were captured and framed in the unique frames.



開心時光話咁快就過,下次再玩過啦!

Time flies when you are having fun. Let’s have more fun next time!
