Annual Report 2011–12

36 服務與關懷 Building Caring Communities ‘Serving the Community’ is one of the five core qualities that Shaw College hopes to imbue their students with. The College encourages its students to use what they have learned to serve the community and the needy. During the year 2011–12, funded by the College’s Caring Heart Community Service Project Scheme, over 50 Shaw students launched nine social service projects to help newly-arrived school children, people with chronic conditions, the ethnic minorities, the elderly, and children without parental care. In one of the projects, 10 students visited a middle school in Fuzhou, Fujian province from 11 to 21 May 2011 to serve as voluntary teachers (above). During the summer of 2012, 24 students enrolled in the College’s general education course ‘Poverty Alleviation and Development in China: Service Learning Project’ and went to Kunming, Yunnan to visit the underprivileged communities of migrant workers. They also served in schools and community centres, and met with volunteers. About 30 Shaw students organized an English learning programme last year for the disadvantaged pupils of Fresh Fish Traders’ School at Tai Kok Tsui. Ten students took part in the ‘Reading. Action. Figure. Club’ project organized by the Hans Andersen Club to help local primary and secondary school students to develop a good reading habit and attitude through a mentorship programme. 共建關懷社區 「服務社群」為逸夫書院學生發展「五大 支柱」之一，鼓勵學生以所學專長，回饋社 會，為社群及有需要人士服務。書院設立懷 仁社區服務項目計劃，支持由學生主導的 社區服務項目。在 2011 至 12 年度，逾五十名 逸夫學生獲計劃資助，透過跟社會服務機 構、醫院的協作，在本地和中國內地共推展 九個社會服務項目，對象包括新移民學童、 長期病患者、南亞裔人士、長者、缺乏家庭 照顧的兒童等。其中一個項目是十名學生 在 2011 年 5 月 11 日至 21 日，到福建省福州市 一所中學義務教學（上圖）。 此外，在 2012 年暑假，二十四名報讀書院通 識課程「中國扶貧與發展──服務學習計 劃」的學生前赴雲南昆明，探訪當地流動人 口組成的貧困社區，並在學校及社區中心服 務，與志願者交流。 在過去一年，約共三十名逸夫學生為大角 咀鮮魚行學校舉辦英語學習活動，協助該 校的基層學童提升學習英語的興趣；另有 十名學生參與安徒生會舉辦的「故事童學 會」計劃，透過學長模式，幫助本地的中小 學生建立良好的閱讀習慣和態度。
