華人行動合肥

 華人行動田野服務展開，5月20日跟大團體道別，和南寧組一起來到上海虹橋，我們是坐火車來合肥。坐火車，還算舒服，一路上不知為何特別昏睡，在睡睡醒醒中抵達合肥，來接我們的是華琳姊(我前年來合肥認識的朋友)的朋友，謝謝他一路送我們到酒店，當天晚上還幫我們接風。

    再次回到合肥挺開心的，最主要還是因為「人」的關係，兩年前來合肥服務，結識許多朋友，離開後多少還有一點再聯繫，這次來就很期待再次見到他們。兩年，大家的變化都好大，有結婚的，有生孩子的，還有升官的，最開心的是看到他們的生命力依舊旺盛，也有人的生命裡比之前我印象中的強大許多。

    在合肥的行程滿檔，謝謝這邊朋友的信任與安排。抵達後第二天在毫無預警的狀況下，直接被接送到電台錄節目，談家庭成長與自己的經驗分享，隔天本來以為可以休閒一下，上午去看包公祠，結果下午又應朋友的邀約，認識一位初中生還一起去爬山，第四天有整天的敏感度訓練，第五天在安徽大學有場講座，台下坐著約100位的學生聽我們分享志願者之路與生涯規劃，第六天在安徽圖書館跟一群殘疾朋友有個分享會，晚上在「春芽」跟一些老師們談情緒管理與壓力調適，今天第七天，又有一個下午的敏感度訓練。短短一個禮拜東奔西跑，謝謝合肥朋友們的招待與照顧，讓我們這一個禮拜過的超級無敵充實。

合肥之旅之出外靠朋友：

    2009年第一次來合肥，那時候是跟著我爸媽一起來的，有爸爸媽媽在場，好像不管發生什麼事情都有人頂著，那年認識了「春芽」，一個由殘疾人發起的機構，照顧自閉症小孩，也是我第一次跟殘疾人做朋友，被他們的生命力感動著。2011年第二次來到合肥，爸爸媽媽沒來，我是跟姑姑和表妹一起到合肥進行華人行動的服務，那時候也還有一位上海的熊明玲，有姑姑有明玲，我一點都不擔心，還是想著天塌下來還有人頂的著，那年除了跟「春芽」的朋友繼續建立友誼，也認識一些在公益界和心理界的朋友。

    今年再次跟著華人行動的服務來到合肥，但是我變成那一個團隊的支柱，需要帶領著其他三個人在合肥闖蕩。這次來就特別感受到被朋友照顧的溫暖，我們的吃飯問題被照顧著，我們的交通問題也被照顧著，而我們能在合肥貢獻的服務，也在他們辛苦的聯絡安排下一一展開，真的很感謝。

合肥之旅之充分被利用與運用：

    才來到合肥一個禮拜，從第二天開始行程滿滿滿，今天雅之才說我們有像明星的感覺，每天都是一個行程接著一個行程，從一個點被專車接送到下一個點，有的時候還要趕一下，不然會來不及。

    我很高興自己的能力可以被肯定，特別是公眾演講的能力，也很高興自己的生命可以充分被利用，雖然回到酒店很多時候好累，一躺在床上不到5分鐘就陣亡，但是能透過演講、敏感度訓練、一對一的接觸去認識、關心到不同的生命，看到他們收穫多多，對自己的生命有更進一步的認識，我就覺得這樣的感覺好好。

    我在合肥只剩兩天，明天還有一場講座，禮拜二一大早就回台灣，每次來合肥都會覺得停留的時間太短暫，感到可惜，但是我還是很感謝有這短暫的合肥之旅。接下來的時間，合肥組的加油啦!!

補充

現在，我人已經回到台灣啦！禮拜二早上6點開始旅行，到下午4點才到家，感謝親愛的弟弟來接機，一路平安。

話說回來之前的那場講座，本來也是一副平常心準備，結果被聯絡的朋友一封一封的簡訊消息，搞得好像非常的盛大，又有布條，又有錄影，那天底下坐著約80位聽眾，聽說也些人都還是領導耶!光是「領導」這個詞就讓我覺得好嚴肅。我分享自己的生命故事，講到國中被排擠的事情，還是覺得小辛酸的哽咽一下。那天我對自己的表現還算滿意，隊友也因為一次次的經驗和磨練，都呈現出很不錯的表現，當然可以檢討改進的部分還很多。

現在就等著華人行動的人來台灣服務啦~~

華人行動 出發去服務

   5月15日帶著30公斤的行李，千里迢迢來到了上海崇明島，加入華人行動的行列。一早出門抵達高雄小港機場，順利的將行李托運，來到香港等待馬來西亞的薇妮姊，我們要一起前往上海。總算到了下午3點登機時間，上了飛機，放好隨身行李等待起飛，等著等著，機艙門一直沒有關，時間一點一滴的過，空服員開始給餅乾和飲料，40分鐘後我們被請下飛機，回到候機室等待，因為上海的氣候不佳，無法降落，就這樣一等，原本3點的飛機等到晚上7點半才飛。幸好有薇妮姊的陪伴，所以等待的時間不會太無聊，還有吃到一餐免費的晚餐，只是抵達華人行動的培訓場地時已經半夜12點，有累到!!

    短短幾天跟著華人行動的行程，感覺一點都不陌生，喜歡那種專注活在當下，生活簡單又輕鬆。這次來身分不一樣，我竟然晉升為老師耶，幫大家上了一堂情緒管理的課，也分享了自己的生命故事。

    這次來另一個主要的任務是帶領合肥南京小組前往合肥做服務，因為先前我是在合肥服務，有一些人脈。在來之前我有先跟合肥的朋友打招呼，抵達之後也都給這些朋友傳了個訊息，很高興都有聯繫上，陸陸續續協調安排著我們去合肥可以做的服務，可以感覺得出來合肥朋友的熱情，但另一方面也開始期待、擔心抵達合肥的行程安排，好像非常的刺激。

    來到這很開心見到許多熟悉的面孔，華人行動的成員大半我都認識，之前雖然人沒在這裡，但是有許多小道消息還是會傳到我的耳裡，所以見到這邊的每個人都有熟悉的親切感，也很期待看每一位成員經過40天的培訓後，在服務期間能夠給予多少。

    華人行動雖然表面上是約20人的活動，但是無形中感染著許許多多的人一同動員加入這個活動。這40天中從內地不同地方都有朋友來探親，有些人停留一天，有些人陪伴一段時間；住的地方囡囡農家樂的一家，40天的相處，家裡的小狗「阿汪」從陌生到熟悉，每當去散步牠都會出來陪伴，4歲的小女孩「佳夠」，跟大家玩成一片，知道大家快要去田野服務，已經幾天沒去上幼稚園，還有女主人「囡囡」只要一有時間就會加入我們的活動，聆聽大家的分享；這趟華人行動，活動地點雖然在上海，但是也動員著台灣跟馬來西亞，台灣龔萬侯老師來協助帶領心理劇，馬來西亞林潤崧老師陪伴著活動30天，我從台灣幫忙製作小卡、T恤，薇妮姊也從馬來西亞背了2000張的文宣品前來，還有許許多多的捐款人支持著華人行動，看到這麼多生命的參與，就充滿了感動。

    明天大家就要各奔東西，祝福每一組的人員平安順利，有個豐富的探索與服務。

2013 CinA in Hefei

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.
