這學期很高興在GMBA學生Anne的安排下，25位GMBA學生在9月25日這天前往松山喜憨兒社會福利基金會的民生工坊，一同跟著喜憨兒製作義賣的手工餅乾。

早上9時30分，喜憨兒們在民生工坊門口熱情歡迎著我們的到來。首先，工坊的工作人員為我們分組，並一一介紹每個小組的喜憨小助教。接著，喜憨兒【雨青】開始向每個人講解餅乾的製造過程，並細心點出一些注意事項，例如餅乾麵團的手感，餅乾厚度等等。在小助教的協助與帶領下，我們順利完成餅乾麵團並送入烤箱烘焙。

在等待餅乾出爐的過程中，基金會的工作人員為我們介紹喜憨兒社會福利基金會的成立由來與發展過程。看著這群喜憨兒的家人們齊心協力地互相幫忙，努力發掘喜憨兒的潛力，好讓他們能獲得生命的尊嚴與生存之道，他們的愛深深感動了現場的每一個人，也為他們努力獲得的成就感到驕傲。這次與喜憨兒社會福利基金會的活動是個難能可貴的經驗，不僅讓我們獲得與孩子們相處的機會，也讓我們更多更深入瞭解他們。

隨著餅乾從烤箱出爐，活動也來到尾聲。最後，我們以一張大合照和一包包親手製作的餅乾為這一次富含意義的體驗劃上完美的句號。

Baking Cookies with Intellectual Disability Kids

Written by GMBA student Hooi Ying Chua

Under the arrangement of our very own GMBAer Anne Lu, we got the chance to attend a baking session with the Intellectual Disability Kids from Children Are Us Foundation on 25^th September 2020.

A group of 25 GMBAers were warmly welcomed by the kids at the entrance of their workshop located at Song Shan District.  We were divided into 4 groups, each with an intellectual disabled child as an assistant.

The session started at 9:30 am with a round of introduction of all the kids.  Then, one of the kids, Yu Qing walked us through the steps in making butter cookies.  She especially pointed out the notes to be taken care of during the process, such as the expected texture of the dough, the thickness of the cookies etc.  We started to make the cookies with the help and guidance from our assistant.

The whole process took about an hour until all the cookies were sent into the oven for baking.  While waiting for the cookies, a volunteer of the foundation gave a presentation about the history and development of the foundation.  We were touched by the unity of families whose kids shared the similar condition. Not only did they help each other, they also assisted their kids by exploring their potential and value of their life through the activities organized by this foundation.

It was a very fruitful and joyful session with the kids.  The session ended with a pack of our own-made cookies and group pictures.
