Student comments 2015/學生感受2015

Although students had found it tough adapting to the living conditions, 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.

雖然學生們發現難以適應白灣的生活條件，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2015年度學生團在旅程結束時寫下的部分感言。

From interacting with the children, seeing how happy they were despite their circumstances, each individual had a distinct personality, despite living in poverty these levels are still able to remain positive and maintaining a positive outlook on life. I admire how these children are so real and care-free with each other, giving up on the materialistic joys of life. I especially enjoyed listening to the personal stories of students and stroked me that it was important that I helped them to achieve their dreams, feeling guilty about how I take so much for granted. Baiwan honestly humbled me and was a wake up call for me to start being globally aware of those in need.

當我與孩子接觸之後，看到他們侷限於外在環境中仍是那麼快樂；每個人都是那麼獨特，生活雖然貧困但仍然保持正面的人生觀。我欣賞他們的真誠和互相信任，並放棄了物質生活的歡愉。我特別喜歡聽學生的故事，令我明白到幫助他們實現夢想的重要，亦令我自愧於把一切當作理所當然。白灣令我覺得慚愧，亦驚醒我對於世界其他有需要的人的認知。

We made a lot of friends in the secondary school, they liked us and our classes. At the end, we traded QQ accounts and emails. We also had a few primary school kids with us quite a lot, and they were sad to see us go. The week ended very quickly, and we were so upset to leave the place. I feel that we’ve made a huge impact on their lives. We are still currently keeping in contact with a few of them. I hope I can visit soon. I never thought I would say this, but I love Baiwan and I really want to go back.

我們在白灣中學結識了很多朋友，他們喜歡我們和上我們的課；最後我們交換了QQ帳號和電郵。有些小學生常常跟我們在一起，他們見我們離開感到十分難過。這個星期過得很快，我們捨不得離去。我覺得我們給他們的生命帶來很大的衝擊，我們跟其中一些仍舊保持聯絡。我希望很快可以再來。我以前無法想像我會這麼說的，但我愛白灣，我真的想回去。

On the first day of the trip, I could hardly adapt to the life in boarding school of Qingyuan. Since I had to sleep on hard bunk beds without foam, use squat toilets without flushing and shower with a tap. I really wanted to go home that night. I thought that I could not get through the week. As I arrive at Baiwan and started teaching, I started to like the place. I had a lot of fun teaching the students and am very delighted to know them. I miss them very much when I had to leave Baiwan. Although I got their contact number, there is a high chance that we would not be able to text each other, nor would we meet each other. Whenever I realize that it’s a lifelong goodbye, I get very upset.

在行程的第一天，我不能適應在清遠寄宿學校的生活。我要睡在沒有牀褥的硬板牀上，用沒有沖水設備的蹲厠和用水龍頭沐浴。我當晚便想回家，我想不可能捱過這星期。當我抵達白灣並開始教書之後，我慢慢喜歡那裡。我教學生時得到很多歡樂，能夠認識他們真開心。當我要離開時我真的捨不得他們，雖然有他們的電話，但很可能不會跟他們發短信或者再見面。一想到這是永別我便感到很傷心。

The kids are always going to lie in my head forever along with this trip. Most of them really want to learn but don’t have the money to learn. We can all see that the kids there are all very happy and have great capacity to learn.

這些孩子跟這個旅程一樣將永遠留存在我腦海裡。他們大部份都渴望學習但無錢去學，我們可以見到他們都那麼快樂和有學習能力。

The thing that pulled me towards the children was their liveliness and innocence. .. There were extremely tough times when cooperation in the class was not present, or when there was tension between me and the students either because they did not understand or they were just straight up being difficult. In the end we always found a way to work around our problems and make the children understand.

天真活潑的孩子使我投向他們。。。有些極之不合作的孩子，或者當他們聽不懂時，都會使到班內的氣氛十分緊張；最後我們都找到解決辦法令到孩子明白我們的課。
