淨覺二班

服務育幼院：高雄淨覺育幼院

服務志工：Fido, Dayna, Ruby, Rita, Janet

日 期：7/30

活動名稱：電影時間:巧克力冒險工廠+心得分享(卡片)

活動負責人：Janet

活動內容：電影欣賞及對於劇中主角旺卡先生心情感受之心得分享,以及劇中有趣的劇情記憶力測試,例如劇中小男孩的祖父母及外公外婆之總歲數,及巧克力使人快樂的原因等等.

建議與檢討：對於劇中人物的心情感受可使小朋友們用心去體會別人的感受,和表達內心的反應的感覺,使她們勇於表達自己的感受.另外,或許活動過程的部分記憶性問題對於小朋友而言有些困難,但可刺激專注的潛力,偶爾提出較高難度的問題可以激發對困難問題的思考能力.能讓每個人都表達自己的想法,亦可藉以教導孩子們尊重他人.只是挑選心情卡片的過程難免有孩子比較強勢霸道,對於秩序上造成干擾和影響,若以看板式或投影挑選圖片說明,或許能降低秩序干擾的問題.

Students volunteer to aid foster children in south

`THINK GLOBALLY': The '2007 Summer for a Better World' program is the first step in an initiative bringing students to Taiwan primarily to help in foster homes

National Chengchi University (NCCU) and the Chinese Children's Home and Shelter Association, a local nonprofit organization that helps foster children, are teaming up to send volunteers to inject a bit of life and learning into two rural orphanages in the south, university and association officials announced yesterday.

Beginning next month, 20 local and foreign NCCU students will venture deep into sweltering farmland in Pingtung and Kaohsiung counties to stay in orphanages throughout the summer.

Their mission: to expose foster children to foreign cultures, and teach them English and soccer.

Titled the "2007 Summer for a Better World," the volunteer program is the brainchild of association officials and complements the university's tradition of community service by students, said association secretary-general Hung Chin-fang (洪錦芳).

"These foster kids have very few opportunities and resources to learn English and understand the outside world," Hung said. "So, we're bringing the outside world to them."

NCCU freshman Elio Rash, a business student from diplomatic ally Belize, is among a handful of international students who will "sacrifice" his summer vacation to interact with orphans, organizers said.

"Do not think that our diplomatic allies just secure resources from Taiwan," a university press release said. "They're eager to interact and understand `Formosa' through community service here, too."

For Daniel Park, an NCCU student from South Korea, helping foster kids is the perfect way to give back to his adopted community. The business student lost his father when he was 12 years old, and has a personal mission of helping other parentless children, NCCU official Connie Chang (張瓊齡) said.

"I know what these kids are going through," Rash said yesterday at a press conference touting the program. "When I was younger, I faced [similar circumstances]."

The students and association officials will stay for three weeks at a Pingtung orphanage sheltering 100 Aboriginal children next month before moving to a smaller Kaohsiung orphanage in August, Hung said.

"The students won't live in hotels or experience better conditions than those of the children," NCCU president Wu Se-hwa (吳思華) said.

The summer program is the first step in fostering a community service initiative the association hopes will grow to the point where foreign students will come to Taiwan primarily to volunteer at foster homes, Hung said.

For NCCU, the program is part of its "Think Globally, Act Locally" community service program, which aims to channel students' skills in bettering the community, said Chen Chao-ming (陳超明), the dean of the College of Foreign Languages and Literatures.

The university hopes to spur other tertiary education institutions to encourage their students to volunteer in the community by leading by example, Chen said.

"Learning doesn't happen just in the classroom," he said.

Children's Homes in Shouther Taiwan

First of all I must thank the director of the program that organized the trip to Kaoshiung and Pingtung children homes in southern Taiwan. I heard about this program from the director of Business Department and also from advertisement so I thought it was a great opportunity for me to know more about Taiwan’s surroundings. In addition I devote my heart to children because sometimes in our lives we all go through different challenges and for a better future of today’s children we must put our efforts today for a better society in the future. Being a Freshman at National Chengchi University and new to the Taiwan society is quite challenging but my parents planted that thinking in me to be happy and to be willing to give in order to succeed. I am glad to say that in order to live a happier life is to keep an attitude that if I can have what I want , that’s good but if I can’t that’s fine too . To begin with I must say that our trip to southern Taiwan will be impossible to erase from my memory. I really appreciate the kindness of Taiwan’s people, and all the kind friends I met, visiting the night market at Kaoshiung and Hakka aboriginal culture was great but one of the greatest is one of the main purpose of our trip which was to Children’s homes.

When I was asked to write this it seemed like I could never give the real answer about how I felt, how was the trip? The real answer is in my heart. Perhaps typing it out might be easier. How was the trip to southern Taiwan? I can truly say its one of the greatest moments of all since I came to Taiwan, learnt a lot, learnt how to be a better person, how to be a calmer person, how to accept the reality and how to escape the fact and face it with courage. The kids in the children’s homes are our future so we should devote whole-hearted effort to them. We should treat each other with compassion and that our value as human beings does not depend on how long we live but on how much we contribute to society and the real value of life is in giving. I didn’t think before that this would be a turning point in my life. At first I thought I was just going for the trip and come back to Taipei. But it isn’t so, it turned out to be one of my motivators. Which is to finish this semester and be happy to know that I can accomplish a dream that I have in mind and that is to return to children’s homes and assist in whatever way I can. I thank all the great friends I met during this trip without them this moment wouldn’t exist and I thanks to all who organize these programs especially ”Weichen keep working hard.”
