别开生面的元宵小聚 美好的两周假期之后，海上青焙坊第五期成员的新学期于上周日正式开始了。周日恰巧是元宵节，海上青焙坊的毕业生与学员们欢聚一堂，共庆佳节。 这场小聚可以说是别开生面、意义非凡。学员们可是第一次观看3D电影，都欢呼雀跃，开心不已。更令人感动的是，学员此次观影经费由美丽的Tineke女士提供。Tineke一直为海上青焙坊提供支持，感谢她的慷慨与善良。这次，她的婚礼嘉宾们答应了她的请求，把捐助海上青焙坊学员组织一次活动作为她的新婚礼物。海上青焙坊真心祝愿Tineke女士幸福到永远。观影后，许多毕业生赶来，共享晚餐。感谢活力社区服务中心（打工子弟安全会）提供本次餐费。 　　六个月的共同实习与学习后，学员们彼此已非常熟悉。这次重聚，每个人的脸上都洋溢着笑容。很多学员与我们的毕业生在同一个酒店工作，一起乘公交上下班，聚会里相见，倍感亲切。“我很感动，每次当我联系毕业生，让他们参加聚会，或有什么事情要他们帮忙时，他们都从不拒绝。”（烘焙培训师，王莉） 　　祝学员们蛇年幸福顺利，烘焙事业有成！ SYB family gathers for lantern festival After two weeks of well-deserved holidays, Sunday 24th marked the beginning of the second semester of training for SYB 5th batch.
