Student comments 2003/學生感受2003
The visit to Baiwan has always turned out to be an extremely rewarding experience for IS students. The following are some comments written by Group 2003 at the end of the trip.
探訪白灣對港島中學的學生探訪團經常是一個寶貴的經驗。以下是二零零三年學生團在離開白灣後，寫下的部份感受。

I felt that I had accomplished something every time I walked out of the classroom. The children were always smiling or looking at you as if you were from outer space! After seeing some of the villages and their living conditions it makes me more aware of other people in poor countries and it makes me want to help more.
每次踏出課室，我都感到自己達成了一些東西．兒童們總是微笑並像看外星人般看你！當看過一些村落及其中的生活情況後，它們令我更留意其他生活在窮困 地區的人及令我希望能幫助他們多一些。

We had rooms with spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes and ants, had cold showers, had the same breakfast menu for 5 days, and had to walk many kilometers a day, but we couldn’t complain because we knew they were the best things we could have in this town. Looking at how primary students have to walk around 8 km a day, how they are eager to learn anything yet have poor education standard, and how they appreciate the small things like a balloon or a simple “hi” from us, we couldn’t help saying that we take too many things for granted. …they absorbed everything we told them…some of them started to develop some complicated movements and profound understanding in chess. … they refused to play outside even if the class was over.
我們身處蜘蛛、蟑螂、蚊子、螞蟻處處的房間，以冷水淋浴，五天早餐一式一樣，且每天要走幾公里路， 但我們不可以投訴，因為我們知道這些都是他們這鄉鎮裡最好的東西．看看那些小學生怎樣每天走八公里， 怎樣在低教育水平下仍渴望知道一切，及怎樣感謝一些小事如一個氣球或只是對他們的一句 ”你好”，我們便不得不說自己 視太多事情為理所當然． ．．．他們吸收我們所教的一切．．．有一部分人開始發展出一些象棋中複雜的棋路及深入的理解，．．． 他們甚至所課堂完了都拒絕出外玩耍。

In the secondary school we visited, we were shocked to see how the students voluntarily studied hard. They seemed to know instinctively that education was the only thing they had, and we felt ashamed…On the bus going back to HK, I miss the air, smell, dust of Baiwan, and those 20 innocent smiles and 40 sparkling eyes that always pleased us. … . I wish someone else better than us would be there to give them more insights and help.
在一次中學的參觀中，我們被眼前所見學生們怎樣的自發求學震呆了．他們彷彿本能地知道教育是他們的所有，使我們感到慚愧．．．在回程的巴士上， 我懷念白灣的空氣，味道以至沙塵，及那二十張天真無邪的笑容與四十隻經常對我們表示感謝的閃亮眼眸． ．．．我希望有其他比我們更好的人能到來給他們更 大的啟發和幫助。

Going to Baiwan was and will be one of the best experiences in life, which I’d trade for no other. The most important lesson I learnt through my stay is learning to be thankful. I never realized how blessed I was, until I saw almost everything that I considered basic being luxuries that the local people didn’t get. Though my tonsils are burning and are terribly sore, I am certain this is the best interim week ever in my life.
白灣之行是並將是我一生中其中一段最好的經驗，而這是不能以其他東西交換的．這次停留教給我最重要的一課就是學會感謝．直到我看到差不多每件我視為基本的東西 在其他得不到的人眼中是多麼奢侈時，我永不意識到自己是怎樣地受天上祝福．雖然我的喉嚨又灼熱又痛，但我仍然認為這是我一生中最好的過渡週。
