The Baiwan trip has been an incredible experience. Opportunities to engage in life in such rural areas are rare, and being able to interact with the children and teachers at schools in Qingyuan and Baiwan has been eye opening. Most students were willing and eager to learn, and getting to teach such enthusiastic kids was an honour. It also felt fulfilling, knowing that for 40 to 45 minutes a day, you had brought creativity and life to the classrooms in Baiwan. This was the perfect last CAS week at Island School.

白灣之旅是一個奇妙的經驗.可以在如此偏遠的地方生活,並能夠和清遠及白灣的師生交流確是令人大開眼界.大部份的學生都願意和渴望學習,可以教授那些熱心的孩子實在光榮.知道每天有四十至四十五分鐘時間為白灣的課室帶來創意及生命實在覺得很充實.這一次在港島中學最後的CAS旅程真是十分完美。

Baiwan was an amazing trip. It was a whole new experience. We were able to have fun, relax as well as lots of teaching experience. Nothing could prepare us for the lessons or the experience of staying in Baiwan – it was unique and challenging. It was great to meet students from such a different background and to get to understand a new culture. It made me realize how much luckier our lives was compared to their simple, different lifestyle. It was a very fulfilling experience and would hope to come back one day if given the opportunity.

白灣之旅十分奇妙,這是一個全新體驗.我們不單覺得有趣,又可以放鬆並且得到很多教學經驗.沒有什麼東西可以準備我們在白灣停留和教學,那是獨特和有挑戰性的.能夠跟不同背景的學生接觸和瞭解新的文化真好.這使我明白到,跟他們簡單又不同的生活方式相比,我們的生命實在很幸運.這是一個十分充實的經驗,希望有朝一日有機會重返。

Living in Hong Kong we don’t really notice how fortunate we are but the children in the town have humbled me. Though they are young and less fortunate, they are so friendly towards us. The enthusiasm the kids had for their education was also really incredible. This trip has taught me so much, most importantly that community service can be very rewarding but also at the same time fun.

在香港生活我們真的不知道有多幸福,但白灣的孩子使我謙卑.雖然他們年幼和沒有那麼幸運,但對我們極為友善.他們的學習熱誠真難以置信.這個旅程教了我很多東西,最重要的是社會服務可以是既有趣又滿足。

Many things on the trip were a challenge; such as battling with sickness and walking double the distance we were expecting, however it all accounted for a sense of achievement we will all cherish. The littlest gestures from the children we taught, from the friendly greetings to the handwritten letters acknowledged that we, as Island School students have made a small difference in someone else’s life.

這個旅程中很多東西都富有挑戰性,如與疾病搏鬥和走比預期雙倍長的路程;不過這些都是我們珍惜的成就.從那些我們教過的孩子的微小的舉動,如友善的招呼到手寫的書信,都使我們知道港島中學的學生在別人的生命裏帶來了一點改變。
