光仔 SECOND LIFE

『光』咖啡 Brighten Coffee

以咖啡傳頌愛 -- 我們不只是開設咖啡店，更是要憑藉咖啡專業成就他人，讓生命發光發亮。

「 ERBPAL 亞洲香港再培訓專業聯合會」推動再培訓就業，扶助金齡人士發展職志。

剛踏入60歲的金齡朋友光仔，是再培訓咖啡調製課程的畢業學員。18歲時他在澳門，第一次品嚐到咖啡，是混和了拔蘭地的咖啡；以及富有澳門地道特色的檸檬咖啡，這特別的體驗令他十分難忘。

邁進第二人生，光仔參加了再培訓咖啡調製員訓練課程，藉此開啟了金齡創業之大門。 透過專業培訓導師黃秀清女士的指導，光仔掌握沖煮咖啡的技巧及品嚐咖啡的方法，領略到咖啡不只是飲品，而是一種生活藝術，是可與洗衣店概念連結起來，推動本地洗衣咖啡店生活文化。

黃秀清導師發現光仔有創業的夢想，因此幫助他發展第二人生的機會，並以「光咖啡」為名，讓他實現金齡展才華，能夠積累經驗繼而成為訓練導師, 像光一樣照亮著世界每個角落，帶動更多人在金齡歲月綻放光彩。

 獲「西九龍中心」支持，在其商場的洗衣店旁協作開設咖啡角，推動再培訓就業，令金齡人士發展才能創夢成真！更希望光仔可以指導其他老友記學習冲煮咖啡，製作他特別調配的檸檬蜂蜜咖啡，跟大家分享咖啡的樂趣 。

Help the people entering the golden age glow and shine through coffee. 

In collaboration with ERBPAL and Dragon Centre, we are proud to give a hand with promoting career development to the golden ager. 

Brother Kwong, a retired man just turning 60 and had completed ''The Barista Re-training Course''. His first cup of coffee, which was blended with Brandy, was tasted in Macau when he was 18. Another flavour he likes most is Macau's authentic coffee with lemon slices. That did give him an unforgettable experience. 

Joining the Barista Training Course, Brother Kwong acquired the skills of coffee brewing. He was also inspired by his tutor, Ms Celia Wong, that coffee is the art of living. An idea of running a laundry shop with coffee stand then came to his mind.

His tutor and mentor as well, Ms Celia Wong, had been supporting him to launch the coffee cart next to the laundry shop. This is an opportunity for Brother Kwong to spark the fire of starting business in his second life. Hoping to share the happiness of coffee brewing and give training to other golden agers in future, he named his coffee cart as ''Shine''. It has the same meaning of ''Kwong'' in Chinese. As the light, he would shine bright everywhere he goes. 

Setting up a coffee cart next to the laundry shop at Dragon Centre by collaboration with ERBPAL and LPS, and supported by TY Caring Foundation and Fruit Garden Social Enterprise, we make the elder-preneurship ''Shine'' happen!  Good coffee is meant to be shared. We wish Brother Kwong could share his passion with his coffee signature - lemon honey drip coffee to customers.
