Greeting from Taiwan
after long time. I just came back from China. I was with the Chinese in Action program.
Chinese in Action
started in April this year. My parents the same full time participated. My
brother, Yue and I were kind of support from outside. I was helping with the administration
work and went to join the team in China for around two weeks. And then I will
wait for the team to come to Taiwan for the second outreach in July and August.
In the first CinA I went
to the city Hefei for my outreach. We spent around two weeks and by the end of
the outreach I got a chance to meet a lady who was interested in psychology and
was feeling depress and low in her life. I couldn’t spend much time with her
because the group was moving to the next city after few days. But the lady came
to our place every day and shared with me a lot of her difficult. After CinA I
was back in Taiwan we still talk on the internet quite often, I even sent some
books for her to read. I was trying to give her some support from Taiwan so that
she can have strength to face her life.
This time I took the
team to the same city to do our outreach. The lady developed herself quite well
and now she had form a learning group, there are around 30 people and they met
every two week to study and grow together. When we arrived in Hefei train
station she asked one of her friends came to pick us and took us to the place
we stay. Time in Hefei because of her, our transportation was been looking
after and all the meals we had was pay by her and her friends. This time I can
see she had more strength in her life and even can influence the people around
her. She said she was really grateful for my support. Because her parents and
only sister now staying in the USA, when she faced difficulties most of the
time she felt along and helpless. But by me sending books to her, sharing with
her and sometimes chat through internet, she felt there was a support.
By her and her friends,
our group in Hefei was busy. The first day as soon as we arrived they took us
for a big dinner. The second day we visited a NGO that set up by some disabled
people to help with the Autism kids. Afternoon we went to the library to meet
more disabled people and thinking what kind of serves we can do for them. After
we finish there was a friend came to pick us and right away we been took into a
radio recording place for an interview recorded which will play on air every Monday
talking about family relationships. Just in a week we had spent most of our
meal time doing one to one with different people. We had finished two times one
day sensitivity workshop and four public speeches.
I feel comfortable doing
one to one talk and the sensitivity workshop. With the public speech I still
had some fear. Small number was fine but this time there were two public
speeches around 100 people. And one of it was a speech to the government
leaders.
I try my best. Not all
the speeches went really well but the government one was good. When we finished
the speech there were a lot of people came to us asking questions and inviting
us to do workshop in their department. I slow can see CinA making some impact
inside China.
So now I am back to Taiwan
back to my work.
