Day 35
Lately I have resigned from my present job and signed a contract with a secondary school for the disabled in a remote village. At first my parents opposed my decision, but now they are singing a different tune. For me, it is a privilege to teach in the school. Every day I am greeted by a chorus of “good morning”. The dusty clay huts act as classrooms, whose doorways are very narrow and there are no rubbers, tubes for chemical experiments or platforms. With the campus full of weeds, there are no washrooms. Students don’t wear cotton uniforms. All the students’ housing is quite simple. The only possessions are saucers, fireplaces, kettles, pans, jars and grills, not to mention tablets and other modern devices that we take for granted. They eat ripe rice and they even don’t throw away leftovers. In my spare time, I do a circuit of the villages to help those with disabilities and provide them with consultation. I want to relay to people that the disabled need help and I pray that more and more people can be volunteers.
最近,我辞去了现在的工作,并与一所位于偏远乡村的残疾人中学签订了一份合同。起初,我的父母反对我的决定,但现在他们的态度有所转变。对我来说,在这所学校任教是一种荣幸。每天早晨,迎接我的是一片“早上好”的问候声。尘土飞扬的黏土小屋充当了教室,门口狭窄,里面没有橡胶制品、化学实验用的试管或讲台。校园里杂草丛生,也没有洗手间设施。学生们没有穿棉质校服。所有学生的住所都非常简陋,仅有的财物包括碟子、壁炉、水壶、平底锅、罐子和烤架,更不用说平板电脑和其他我们认为理所应当有的现代设备了。他们吃熟透的米饭,甚至不会浪费剩菜。闲暇之余,我会走访各个村庄,帮助那些身患残疾的人,并为他们提供咨询服务。我希望传递给大家的是残疾人需要帮助的信息,并祈祷有越来越多的人能够成为志愿者。
