VOLUNTEERING IN THE BUSH
8 March
I just got a parcel from home! It took about two weeks to arrive, and it was a bit damaged, but it was so nice to get some sweets and jam from home; I’ve been dying to have some of my favourite sweets, and it’s always nice to get mail!
So I’ve been here in the jungle for about a month now. My secondary school is a bush school. The classrooms are made of bamboo, with clay floors and roofs of grass. It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a dusty track covered in weeds. When I reach the school grounds, I’m greeted by a chorus of “good morning” from the boys. Unlike students in our country, these boys do not wear cotton uniforms, and many of them also have to walk a long way, sometimes for up to two hours, just to get to school.
There’s no electricity, running water or even textbooks, not to mention laptops, tablets, or other modern devices! All the students have are pencils, rubbers, and paper. I’m still trying to adapt to these conditions. I’ve had to become much more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. There is no equipment, and since there isn’t even a washroom, if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a basin!
It’s important not to be too rigid about rules here, too. The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling everywhere! The class became a circus as the boys, who had never come across anything like this before, started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students---few will ever become chemists---and most will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway. To be honest, I doubt whether I’m making any difference to these boys’ lives at all.
17 April
Last weekend I made my first visit to a remote village, home to one of our students, Tombe. Another teacher and I walked for two and a half hours to get there---first, up a mountain from where we had fantastic views, and then down a shaded path to the valley below. When we arrived at the village, Tombe’s mother, Kiak, saw us coming and started crying “ieee ieee”. We shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe.
Tombe’s father, Mukap, a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead, led us to his house, a low, round bamboo hut with no windows, with a door just big enough to get through, and with grass sticking out of the roof---this shows it is a man’s house. Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a few saucers, a kettle , cups, pans , and a couple of jars.
Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat. He then placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum with kau kau, ripe corn, and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. It smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family talking softly to each other in their language, even though I could not participate much in the conversation. Luckily, Tombe interpreted for us.
Later, I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a while, Tombe threw it out of the doorway. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. His family believes that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night, so any leftover food is dried up in a can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.
We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed. It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family.

丛林中的志愿工作
3月8日
我刚刚收到家里寄的包裹了!虽然这个包裹差不多两星期才到,还略有损坏,不过能收到从家寄来的一些糖果和果酱简直太棒了!我已经馋了好久这些最爱的糖果,而且,收到邮包从来都是让人开心的事啊!
就这样,现在我在丛林里待了快一个月了。我所在的这所中学是一所灌木丛学校——教室是用竹子建的,地板是黏土做的,屋顶是用草做的。我沿着一条尘土飞扬、长满杂草的小路仅仅步行几分钟就到学校了。当我到达学校的时候,迎接我的是男孩子们一片“早上好”的问候。这些男孩跟我们国家的学生不一样,他们不穿棉质校服,许多人还得走很长的路,有时长达两个小时,才能抵达学校。
没有电,没有自来水,甚至没有课本,更别提笔记本电脑、平板电脑或者别的现代化设备!学生们有的只是铅笔、橡皮和纸。我还在努力适应这些条件,在教学中不得不充分发挥想象力。科学是最有挑战性的科目,因为我的学生们压根没有做实验的概念。没有设备,甚至没有洗手间,因此,我如果需要水的话,还得从家里用盆带过来。不固守规则在这儿也很重要。前几天,我正在给男孩们演示化学实验,突然,不知怎么回事,混合物从试管里冒泡溢出来,溅得到处都是!男孩们之前从未碰上此种情形,开始从窗户跳出去,课堂变成了马戏团。有时我想,化学对这些学生有多大意义——他们中很少有人会成为化学家——而且大多数学生八年级后就会回到村庄了。老实说,我怀疑自己是否会给这些男孩们的生活带来任何影响。
4月17日
上周末,我头一次去一个偏远的村庄,我们的一个学生汤贝的家就在那里。我和另一位老师步行两个半小时才到那里——首先,我们爬到了山上,从那儿欣赏到了极美的景色,然后沿着一条林荫小路走到下边的山谷。当我们到达村庄的时候,汤贝的母亲齐亚克看到我们走来,开始大喊“嗳矣嗳矣”。我们和村民挨个握了手。(村里)每个人好像都是汤贝的什么亲戚。
汤贝的父亲莫卡普长着一副结实的下巴,额头布满皱纹。他把我们带到他家,那是一座低矮的圆形竹屋,没有窗户,只有一扇勉强能通过的门。草从屋顶探出来,表明这是一间人(住)的房子。这种房子里面很暗,所以我们的眼睛过了一会儿才适应。地上铺满新鲜的草,还有让我和珍妮睡觉的台子。小屋中央放着壁炉,放眼望去,我看到屋里的物品只有一把扫帚、几个碟子、一个水壶、几只杯子、几个平底锅,还有几个罐子。
莫卡普在外面生了堆火,在上面放了些石头加热,然后把热石头放进装着红薯、成熟的玉米和青菜的油桶里。接着,他用香蕉叶盖上蔬菜,等着它们蒸熟,这闻起来很美味。我们在小屋里围着火吃饭。尽管我不太能参与他们的交谈,但我喜欢听这一家人彼此用他们的语言轻声交谈。幸运的是,汤贝为我们翻译。
后来,我注意到炉火上方的烤架上倒放着一个罐子。过了一会儿,汤贝把它扔到了门外。他告诉我把罐子烤热是为了烘干剩饭。他的家人认为,剩饭会在晚上引来恶鬼,所以所有剩饭都要放进罐子里烘干,然后把罐子扔出小屋。
第二天早上,一遍遍的道别和有力的握手之后,我们离开了村子。当我们费力地走下山回家时,我的肌肉酸痛,膝盖发抖。那天晚上我带着愉快的心情入睡了。和汤贝一家人度过了一天,真是荣幸。

丛林中的志愿工作
3月8日
我刚刚收到家里寄的包裹了!虽然这个包裹差不多两星期才到,还略有损坏,不过能收到从家寄来的一些糖果和果酱简直太棒了!我已经馋了好久这些最爱的糖果,而且,收到邮包从来都是让人开心的事啊!
就这样,现在我在丛林里待了快一个月了。我所在的这所中学是一所灌木丛学校——教室是用竹子建的,地板是黏土做的,屋顶是用草做的。我沿着一条尘土飞扬、长满杂草的小路仅仅步行几分钟就到学校了。当我到达学校的时候,迎接我的是男孩子们一片“早上好”的问候。这些男孩跟我们国家的学生不一样,他们不穿棉质校服,许多人还得走很长的路,有时长达两个小时,才能抵达学校。
没有电,没有自来水,甚至没有课本,更别提笔记本电脑、平板电脑或者别的现代化设备!学生们有的只是铅笔、橡皮和纸。我还在努力适应这些条件,在教学中不得不充分发挥想象力。科学是最有挑战性的科目,因为我的学生们压根没有做实验的概念。没有设备,甚至没有洗手间,因此,我如果需要水的话,还得从家里用盆带过来。不固守规则在这儿也很重要。前几天,我正在给男孩们演示化学实验,突然,不知怎么回事,混合物从试管里冒泡溢出来,溅得到处都是!男孩们之前从未碰上此种情形,开始从窗户跳出去,课堂变成了马戏团。有时我想,化学对这些学生有多大意义——他们中很少有人会成为化学家——而且大多数学生八年级后就会回到村庄了。老实说,我怀疑自己是否会给这些男孩们的生活带来任何影响。
4月17日
上周末,我头一次去一个偏远的村庄,我们的一个学生汤贝的家就在那里。我和另一位老师步行两个半小时才到那里——首先,我们爬到了山上,从那儿欣赏到了极美的景色,然后沿着一条林荫小路走到下边的山谷。当我们到达村庄的时候,汤贝的母亲齐亚克看到我们走来,开始大喊“嗳矣嗳矣”。我们和村民挨个握了手。(村里)每个人好像都是汤贝的什么亲戚。
汤贝的父亲莫卡普长着一副结实的下巴,额头布满皱纹。他把我们带到他家,那是一座低矮的圆形竹屋,没有窗户,只有一扇勉强能通过的门。草从屋顶探出来,表明这是一间人(住)的房子。这种房子里面很暗,所以我们的眼睛过了一会儿才适应。地上铺满新鲜的草,还有让我和珍妮睡觉的台子。小屋中央放着壁炉,放眼望去,我看到屋里的物品只有一把扫帚、几个碟子、一个水壶、几只杯子、几个平底锅,还有几个罐子。
莫卡普在外面生了堆火,在上面放了些石头加热,然后把热石头放进装着红薯、成熟的玉米和青菜的油桶里。接着,他用香蕉叶盖上蔬菜,等着它们蒸熟,这闻起来很美味。我们在小屋里围着火吃饭。尽管我不太能参与他们的交谈,但我喜欢听这一家人彼此用他们的语言轻声交谈。幸运的是,汤贝为我们翻译。
后来,我注意到炉火上方的烤架上倒放着一个罐子。过了一会儿,汤贝把它扔到了门外。他告诉我把罐子烤热是为了烘干剩饭。他的家人认为,剩饭会在晚上引来恶鬼,所以所有剩饭都要放进罐子里烘干,然后把罐子扔出小屋。
第二天早上,一遍遍的道别和有力的握手之后,我们离开了村子。当我们费力地走下山回家时,我的肌肉酸痛,膝盖发抖。那天晚上我带着愉快的心情入睡了。和汤贝一家人度过了一天,真是荣幸。
