Student comments 2016/學生感受2016

Although students had found it tough adapting to the living conditions and the language barrier made it difficult for some to communicate with the local children, the experience of meeting new people and making new friends made the trip a great success. Here are some comments by students at the end of the trip.

雖然學生難以適應白灣的生活條件而語言的隔閡亦成為部份學生和當地孩子溝通的障礙，但在這裏見識和認識新朋友的經歷卻令旅程顯得十分成功。以下是2016年度學生團在旅程結束時寫下的部分感言。

The most memorable moment was in a Year 3 lesson. When I told everyone to line up in order to get a candy each, one student decided not to take his ‘reward’. Instead, he ran to the playground and taught 6 of his friends how to pronounce some “occupations” in English. When I overheard each of them recite “doctor, singer, driver, writer,…” I was extremely happy and pleased. The new knowledge we’ve taught has reached outside of the classroom and this alone makes my Baiwan trip truly meaningful.

最難忘的一刻發生在一個三年級的課堂上.當我告訴大家排隊來拿糖果時,一個學生不要他的奬品,反而走去操場教他的六名友人一些行業的英語.當我聽到每一個人在重複說著”醫生,歌星,司機,作家…”時,我感到極之快樂和欣慰.我們教授的新知識已經超越了課室,單這一點已經使我的白灣之旅十分之有意義.

The kids that I’ve come across have taught me more than I could ever teach them: you can do so much with so “little”!… I saw how happy they were. Just by standing in a school’s playground. I saw how excited they were to be at school. Some kids were really naughty (it’s part of the package), but even so, you could see how eager they were to gain insights on these new ‘foreigners’ arriving in their village…. At the end of the day, I think it’s easy to think you’re privileged. But you don’t really know what it means to be underprivileged until you’ve seen it with your own eyes. Unless you can begin to imagine what it is like. Unless you’ve been shown it. This was a trip that opened my eyes, pushed me to my limits, and ultimately taught me so much.

我遇到的那些孩子教曉我的比我可以教導他們的更多:你可以用那麼少的資源達到那麼大的效益!…他們是何等快樂;只要站在學校的操場,便可見到他們是多麼的興奮.有些孩子真是十分頑皮(這是整個活動的一部份),但即使如此,你亦可見他們是何等渴望從這些外來人士身上得到啟發….到了最後,我想我們很容易認為自己是優越的.但你真的不知道何謂貧乏直到你親眼目睹,除非你可以開始想像它是怎麼樣,除非讓你看見.這是一個令我大開眼界的旅行,把我推到了極限,最終教曉了我那麼多.

Their level of enthusiasm really showed me that we were making a difference in their lives, whether it was to just lift their spirits, our presence was doing something.

他們的熱誠令我知道我們改變了他們的生命,那管只是提升他們的情緒,我們的出現已經是一種作為.

This trip was one of the greatest and most surreal experiences of my life. Being able to experience and see the life in Baiwan is a great privilege but also a great opportunity to bring joy to their community. I had a great time teaching the students, even the naughty ones, as I was able to connect with them through our interactions.

這個旅程是我生命裏其中一個最棒的和最超現實的經驗.可以體驗和目睹白灣的生活是一個極大的得著,但同時給予我機會為這個社區帶來快樂.通過和學生的接觸,我可以和他們連結起來.教授他們,即使那些頑皮的,都令我十分愉快.

Teaching the kids was an unforgettable experience. It was extremely rewarding to go to such a small village and share a bit of our knowledge. The little kids really look up to you.

教孩子是難忘的經歷。去到一個這麼小的村莊來分享我們的知識是非常值得的,那些孩子真的仰望你。
