On January 11, 2025, a strong festive atmosphere filled the Fengpu Wuju Activity Center as a special Spring Festival event was held. Accompanied by 5 Rotary Club volunteers, 24 community children felt the joy and warmth of the Spring Festival a few days in advance.
The Spring Festival couplet writing class was filled with the fragrance of ink. The volunteers patiently guided the children as to how to hold the pen and dip it into the ink. The children carefully imitated and wrote the auspicious Spring Festival couplets on red paper one by one. Although the handwriting was a little immature, each Spring Festival couplet was full of children’s beautiful hopes for the New Year.
The handycraft area was also very lively, as the children focused on making firecracker pendants. The colored sponge paper was turned and folded in their hands. After a while, a string of red and creative firecracker pendants was completed, as if to ignite the excitement of the festival in advance.
Then it was time for the “Unbreakable Forest Game”, with everyone working together, surrounded by constant laughter.
As the event was coming to an end, the children were delighted to receive carefully prepared gifts – stationery bags and snack packages. These gifts were not only an encouragement for the children to actively participate in the event but also carry the love and warm wishes of the donors to the children.
This Spring Festival special event not only allowed the children to experience traditional customs in joy and improve their hands-on skills, but also showed friendship and happiness in action. The enthusiastic participation of Rotary volunteers injected warm power into community activities. In the future, we will continue to hold more rich and diverse cultural activities to allow children to thrive in the nourishment of traditional culture.
With Special Thanks to the Shanghai Rotary Club!
