身边公益，助人助己Engaging in doing public service to help others

特奥融合跑

为期一个月的“特奥融合跑”公益项目于2019年11月23日最终比赛中，在第二名的优异成绩的鼓励下顺利结束，一个月的时间倏忽即逝，但诸多感动瞬间却历历在目。

The one-month-long “Special Olympics Unified Run” was successfully concluded on Nov. 23th, 2019. Our united team ended up with an excellent 2nd place in the final, which inspired us a lot. Quickly as one month has passed by, many touching moments are still vivid in our mind.

当我们踏入青浦辅读学校的一刹，一种无法阻挡的热情便扑面而来。小弟弟们毫无隔阂地与大哥哥、大姐姐热情交流，分享经历、共享爱好、探讨时尚，恰似昨日刚分之旧友，毫无初识之羞涩。问候、牵手、拥抱几乎成为每次共同训练的见面礼节，那种毫无距离感、毫无造作感的亲昵与真诚深深地感动着我们，也激励着我们。

The instant we walked into the Qingpu Special Needs Education School, we were greeted with overwhelming enthusiasm. Without any shyness due to their first meeting,young boys of their school exchanged thoughts,shared experiences and hobbies, and discussed fashion with our students as if they had been old acquaintances. Almost every time those kids met to have training together, they greeted and hugged each other and joined their hands. We were deeply impressed by such true intimacy and sincerity between them.

我们要通过这次融合跑来践行身边公益，来帮助特殊儿童更好地融入社会、参与社会，但对我们自己而言，这又何尝不是净化自己、提升自己、重识自己的修炼过程呢？俯身低首帮助弟弟们绑好护具；不厌其烦地重复跑步动作，帮助弟弟适应节奏；无怨无悔地牺牲自己的休息时间、甚至是学习时间来成就完美的融合；积极主动地服从比赛安排，力争实现融合目标。太多太多的感人细节在这一个月中发生着，学生身上已有的不求回报的担当、利人利他的关爱等优秀品质在融合跑的特定情景中淋漓尽致地表达着。他们会备受激励，会增加自信，会敢于担当，这个经历也会让他们终生难忘。这或许就是公益的最大魅力，帮助着别人，也成全着自己。

We aim to engage in doing public service through this Unified Run by helping special kids better join in the community they belong to. In turn, what we are doing should be viewed as a process of self-refinement and self-recognition.To list just a few touching details of this month-long activity:Our students bent over to help those young boys fasten protective pads;our kids patiently repeated the movement of running so as to help those young kids adjust to the paces; our kids sacrificed their break and even study hours for the Unified Run without voicing a complaint; our kids also complied with the arrangements and rules of the race,and tried their best to achieve the goal of the Unified Run.To our delight, through this Unified Run, our kids have formed some fine characters, such as unrequited responsibility and altruistic care. We believe that such an unforgettable experience will help them grow up by making them become more motivated, more confident and more reliable. Perhaps the greatest charm of doing public services lies in improving ourselves as well as helping others.

我们积极践行着身边公益，做着我们愿意且有意义的事情，我们帮助的不仅仅是辅读学校的学生，更是我们自己。

We are actively engaging in doing public services by doing what we are willing to do and what we think is meaningful. We are helping not only kids of the Special Needs School but also ourselves.
