上海莱克顿：上海新生命之家之行感想

LSSU  上海莱克顿学校学生会

'Without doubt, it is an affirmation and encouragement for past achievements and future charity activities. At the same time, we also brought a modest contribution and love for the community. As lui said, as high school students, maybe there are too few things we can really change. However, I believe that after the hard work and perseverance, we can always bring some warm improvement. As an ancient saying goes, "one step at a time is no step beyond thousands of miles." Lucton's thousand-mile journey of charity begins with our first step. Every time I think about it, I am encouraged as a junior.'

In order to better understand students' ideas, I made a questionnaire after the volunteer activity and randomly selected students to answer it.

Why did you want to participate in SHH activity in the first place?

Can you tell me what you did there?

How do you feel after this activity?

Where would you like the next event to happen? What is the purpose?

'I wanted to participate in this activity at first, mainly because I wanted to meet the children there. There was a cute little girl, but she seemed to have weak muscles, so she had to lie on her stomach and even sit down, let alone walk on two legs. I helped feed them. Through this activity, I found that I began to like doing charity activities. For the next activity, whether it is in a nursing home or an orphanage, it is good because it can let us understand the difficult life at all ages.'

'The reason for participating in the activity is that I am free on Saturday morning and I want to experience the photos of students who participated in the activity last year. I was on the second floor with the kids. I found a little girl of six years old and let her ride on the little wooden horse. She hold my hand. Later I helped her go downstairs to dinner.

After I went, I felt that the children were very poor and could not live in a complete family like most people. That's why they need love more, and it's one of the few things we can do. They are all very innocent and lovely, and should grow up in an environment full of love.'

'At the beginning, I felt that Saturday was too idle and I wanted to find something meaningful to do, so I signed up for this volunteer activity. In Shanghai new life home, the activity content is very simple -- that is, playing with children, and the children abandoned it... Through contact with them, I found that mental retardation is a terrible disease, children are very unfortunate. I don't think it really matters where the next event is, but hopefully it's about the environment.'

'I joined the program because I thought the kids might be more valuable and caring than us. But when I did get there, I realized that they deserved and needed more than we had ever thought, and some of them we couldn't give. After all, we are not adults. But I want to give them as much company as I can. But when I really started to do that, I realized that I could do very little for them. At best, I could play with them. Because we can't even feed them properly, let alone anything else. Maybe there are many reasons for this. But this is the truth. And there are so many children like them in the world that we can help far less than we need. So I'm trying to do what I can, if they need to.'
