公益應持續傳承，愛心要從小培養。2015年3月28日，明基友達公益基金會公益月系列活動之“公益傳承—關愛成長”兒童繪畫大賽在南京院區成功舉行。
此次繪畫大賽由明基友達公益基金會南京分會主辦，由南京市建鄴實驗小學、金陵中學河西分校小學部，及明基醫院員工子女等組成的近百名少年兒童同場競技，繪畫心中之“愛”；並由明基醫院員工家屬陳老師親率6名小琴童，現場演奏鋼琴助興。當《星光圓舞曲》、《維也納旋律》響起，繪畫與音樂交相輝映，童心與愛心相伴相依。比賽剛一開始，小朋友們立刻插上愛的羽翼，用畫筆自由暢想，隨心所欲地將內心理解之“愛”盡情呈現。彩色蠟筆、水彩筆、油畫棒、彩色鉛筆等繪圖工具此時都成為孩子們手中的“魔法棒”，使原本的白紙變得生動溫馨、童趣無比。活動中，參賽選手的年齡上至12歲，最小的才剛滿2歲。26個月的張佳琪媽媽表示：“雖然寶寶還小，還理解不了什麼是公益，但愛心要從小培養。帶他來參加活動，他自己也會耳濡目染，知道什麼是愛，怎樣去愛。”當天的小主持，8歲的小琴童呂睿妍則非常開心能參與其中：“平時我會主動幫媽媽做事，坐地鐵也會給老爺爺老奶奶讓座。以後我想加入小志工，跟著基金會的哥哥姐姐們一起獻愛心。”
本屆大賽共評出高年組及低年組共12副獲獎作品，賽後將與其他優秀繪畫作品一起，作為明基友達公益基金會公益展示使用，後期還將印製成紀念宣傳冊或明信片。
人間大愛，公益的未來，讓我們代代相傳……
Charitable efforts deserve to be continued from one generation to the next, and the spirit of giving should be cultivated from childhood. On March 28, as part of its month of charity events, the BenQ Foundation successfully held a children’s art contest at the Nanjing BenQ Medical Center.
The contest was organized by the Nanjing branch of the BenQ Foundation, with nearly 100 young children from the Nanjing Jianye Experimental Primary School, the primary school affiliated with the Hexi branch of Jinling Junior High School, and the families of BenQ Medical Center employees submitting works that expressed the love in their hearts—the contest theme. Another highlight of the event was a recital by six young pianists under the instruction of a BenQ Hospital employee family member. As the melodies of the "Starlight Waltz" and "Viennese Melody" rang out, the mingling of art and music seemed to mirror the combination of children’s innocence and love that the contest celebrated. As the contest began, the children eagerly began using drawing tools to give expression to their imaginations, lending visual form to their understanding of “love”. The drawing tools such as crayons, markers, pastels, and colored pencils became the children’s “magic wands”, transforming the blank sheets of paper into vivid portrayals of childhood wonder. The children entered in the contest ranged in age from the eldest at 12 down to one who had only recently turned two. The mother of 26-month-old Jia-qi Zhang said, “Even though she is still small, and doesn’t understand the idea of charity, the spirit of giving is something I want to instill in her from a young age. Having her participate in this event helped her subconsciously learn what love is and how to love others.” The emcee of the event, eight-year-old Rui-yan Lu was extremely happy to participate, saying “I always try to help my mother out, and when I’m on the subway I’ll give up my seat to seniors. In the future, I want to be a volunteer and help others alongside my big brothers and sisters at the BenQ Foundation.”
The contestants were divided into a younger and an older group, and a total of 12 works were chosen for awards. After the contest, they were displayed along with other outstanding works for a BenQ Foundation charity exhibition. They will subsequently to be printed into commemorative albums or postcards.
Love for our fellows, the future of charity, let us pass it on from one generation to the next...
