2月1日下午,教業中學中學國際中心組織模擬聯合國活動小組師生一行13人前往同善堂歷史博物陳列館進行參觀,本次活動旨在使學生能以同善堂展覽的物品為切入,觸摸久遠的歷史,切身感受澳門民間慈善業的變化,認識守望相助的中華慈善特色。
師生首先參觀的是陳列館一樓展廳,一踏進展廳,中西合璧建築即在師生眼前躍動,彷彿走進了1920那個久遠的歷史年代,接著師生們逐一參觀了圍繞著大堂擺設的同善堂歷史展板,展板內容從同善堂的“創辦初期”,介紹到“同善別墅時期”、“同善堂成立及早期服務”、“抗日戰爭時期”、“拓展時期”再到“回歸后”服務時期,每一展板的事例及圖片無不反映著同善堂“同心濟世,善氣迎人”的宗旨,師生認真聆聽,一路寫寫記記,感觸頗深。最後,師生還參觀了陳列館二樓珍藏的橫跨三個世紀的歷史性文件與物品,在了解了當中所蘊藏著的鮮為人知的事跡及動人的故事中結束了本次頗具意義的參觀之旅。
