2015年6月14日星期天，是新加坡佛教施诊所与药师行愿会联办的慈悲喜舍家庭日（Bursary Presentation cum Vesak Day Carnival）。卫塞节嘉年华会净收入的50%将捐献给新加坡佛教施诊所，是非常有意义的活动。 小小菩提的老师和4名小小志愿者，也自愿加入了这次义卖活动，早上8：30准时在中心集合出发。同学们有的带着和自己亲手烘烤的Muffin小蛋糕，有的准备了健康的低糖水果布丁。小志愿者们还精心设计制作了摊位广告牌，忙得不亦乐乎。 售卖的任务当然交给了小志愿者们，对于他们来说这可是个锻炼勇气，自我挑战的好机会。他们先是在摊位旁小心询问过往的客人 ，后来竟然勇敢得端着托盘，走在人流中兜售。功夫不负有心人，他们准备的食物在很短的时间内销售一空。所卖的固本放入了功德箱，别提他们有多高兴了。 在活动结束前，我们的主席Alan Ang带着孩子们在佛像前浴佛净心，供灯祈福还有献花供佛，并让这几个孩子简单了解卫塞节的由来和意义。下午1：30，老师把学生们安全送回家。 通过这次活动，孩子们体会到了义卖的不易，增加了敢于和陌生人沟通的勇气。更重要的是每个人都有一颗善良的心，如何发现自己的善心，并付诸于实际行动，乐于助人多多参加社会慈善活动，让这个社会更温暖。这才是希望他们明白的道理。(^-^) ~ Article contributed by: Cindy Li
