| CKPC organizes a volunteer group, which targets at working with children with Down syndrome. On November 29, this group of volunteers visited the Macau Down Syndrome Association and prepared some activities for our little angels.
After our volunteers’ brief introduction on themselves, they started playing some warm-up games with the little angels. All were happy and excited with playing “hitting the balloons, love hugs and musical chair”. The children all laughed and screamed with excitement; some of them also introduced themselves and shared their interests with us.
Then, each volunteer paired with 2-3 children and drew some pictures on the name tags together which would then be put on the little flower pots. They also decorated the pots, which were later filled with soil and seeds. The plants mark the starting point of our relationship.
To end up the activities, some questions were asked concerning our volunteers’ names, names of the games played and the children’s feelings. Most of the children were excited in answering the questions and got small prizes for giving the correct answers. The activities ended with laughter and many of them said they were already looking forward to future gatherings.
