Christmas gifts are not necessarily toys, they can be a warm companionship and growth experience. The "Fun Fun Week" event held for three consecutive days during Christmas created a growth activity that combined learning, interaction and games for about 100 primary school students and 40 secondary school students to help them build correct values and healthy living habits from an early age. More importantly, I hope to reach out to primary school students in the community through activities, let them know about Jesus and the brothers and sisters of the church, and then encouraged them to participate in church activities from an early age, such as joining the Adventurer Club. "Fun Fun Week" is organized by Hong Kong-Macao Conference of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, co-organized by Hong Kong Adventist Hospital - Tsuen Wan and Kowloon Sam Yuk Secondary School, and supported by the charity and the Government's Partnership Fund for the Disadvantaged.
Some parents said that the activities would help enhance the correct values of their children and make them feel cared for and supported. Some parents also pointed out that there are very few activities of the same type designed for children. The most gratifying thing is that their daughters have changed after participating. They feel that their daughters are more proactive than ever in sharing what they have learned and felt, which will help promoting parent-child relations. Volunteers for secondary school students refer to activities that enable them to learn how to get along with children, thereby improving communication skills, patience and empathy. The participating primary school students all laughed and said that the event was interesting, and they looked forward to participating again in the future.
Through singing and various game activities, participating in story performances, making food by yourself, handicraft workshops, etc., the activities allow primary school students to learn the spirit of teamwork and caring for others in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, feel the warmth of being accepted, understand that they are not alone, and learn to appreciate their uniqueness. More than 40 volunteers from secondary school students also participated in the event, allowing them to improve their communication skills and sense of responsibility while leading primary school students to explore new things, and learn how to prepare for activities and assist others.
