Hihi~~I know I been disappear for a long time. My life becomes busier this year. There were many things happened. But I will try to keep this mail as short as I can. Here comes my update.
First, after Chinese New Year I went to work in the EQ office for two month. There was a secretary gave birth to a baby girl and I was taking her work. I never thought I will work in an office which I will wake up early and be back at home in the evening. I love freedom, working in the office I felt I lost my freedom because I need to be in the office from 8 am to 5:30 pm. Two months was long enough for me. This might be the longest working time in the office for my life. Most of the young people after graduated will find a full time job to earn money. I didn’t, after I graduated I kind of started my work with IofC without pay. During AFL when we thought of working full time with IofC we said we need to move out from our comfort-zone. We needed to learn to move out from our fear about money. But I guess working full time with IofC is my comfort-zone.
Second, since April I went to three different primary schools to lead small group. One school I was a co-leader and another two I worked with another friend sharing the leader role. The students’ age from the three schools was all different. Two schools’ students were select from each class who was the most headache student for the class. And the other one those students were mix child, father Taiwanese and mother Vietnamese/Mainland Chinese/Philippine. I went to each school eight to ten times. Each time was around 90 mins. We talked about listening to the inner voice. I told them there is an angel in their heart telling them good things to do. I enjoy my time with them but it was a tiring time as well. I don’t know how much the kids got the message. But I can see they liked the class.
Third, training the senior high school students was and is continue. I spend quite a lot of time with them. The training was twice a month and each of them needed to have a one to one time with me during the school term. This time I run sensitivity training. There were 16 of them and each time we had two to three speakers for our eight times training. Most of them were first time sharing about their family. One student shared at the beginning he didn’t know how to talk about family but after the training he realized it was not that difficult as he thought. And because of needed to share about the family map most of them had an interview to their parents. Before the training they thought only themselves have difficulty with parents. During the training they find out every one had their one issues with family. I was grateful to their openness. From the surface looking their families seem fine but through their sharing there was lots of sadness, unfairness, not been understood and tears. After the training the team became closer and stronger.
Last one, I just finish a 3 days 2 nights camp with 15 senior high school students + 44 primary school students and my father, mother, brother, cousin + one of my friends. This camp we talked about how to be independent. The place for the camp was two and a half hours driving from Tainan city and it is in the mountain. Each small group has 8 kids + 2 senior high school students. We gave each group certain among of money and they need to find their own way to the campus by bus or train and finish lunch during the way. For many of them was their first time buying the ticket by themselves. And the kids enjoy the trip a lot. Three days was tiring but nice to see most of the people enjoy the camp and have learned something through the camp.
Next week I am going to China for a month. There are three camps waiting for us. I will go with my family and other friends.
Stop here~~ best wishes
H.Y
