育幼院國際志工之行 更為我的生命帶來動力
首先，我要感謝籌組這次南台灣高雄和屏東兒童之家體驗之行的承辦人員。我是從本校商學院主任及學校宣傳得知活動訊息，對我而言是一個很好的機會，可以多了解台灣，更可以為弱勢孩子們奉獻我的一點心意，以創造更好的未來與社會環境。
身為國立政治大學一年級新生，身處在陌生的台灣社會，實在是一個挑戰。雖然，父母希望我快樂，並願意栽培我走上成功之路，但我認為要擁有快樂生活，就要隨時保持「有也歡喜，無也自在」的心態。而這次能追隨內在的聲音，参與育幼院之行，我是開心的，所有快樂的記憶，將很難從我心中消逝，我也很感激此行遇到的朋友，對台灣人的善心很感動。
當我被告知要分享此次探訪的感想時，我不太能用言語確切表達心中的真實想法；這次旅程的一切在我心中迴盪著，用寫的或許更能表達我的感動。我想說：「這次兒童之家的旅程，絕對是我在台灣最棒的一次旅程，我學到如何成為一個更好、更穩重的人，並且接受現實。」
兒童之家的孩童是我們的未來，而我們要為他們全心的奉獻，我將盡我所能的以同理心去幫助這些孩子。我認為做人的價值，是看我們能為社會付出和奉獻多少，而不是看能活多久。拜訪兒童之家前，我萬萬沒想到，此行會是「我生命的轉折點」。
原先我單純地認為這只是一個拜訪，然而不僅如此，此行收穫變成我的生命動力。我將會在這學期結束後，再回來兒童之家，完成我心中的夢想，並盡力地幫助他們。感謝在這次旅程中所碰到的朋友，沒有他們，這一刻也就不存在了，更感謝籌劃這次活動的所有人，特別是CCSA的偉禎，大家一起加油囉！（政治大學企管系一年級學生/Alio Rash 翻譯/陳怡潔）

First of all I must thank the director of the program that organized the trip to Kaoshiung and Pingtung children homes in southern Taiwan. I heard about this program from the director of Business Department and also from advertisement so I thought it was a great opportunity for me to know more about Taiwan ’s surroundings. In addition I devote my heart to children because sometimes in our lives we all go through different challenges and for a better future of today’s children we must put our efforts today for a better society in the future. Being a Freshman at National Chengchi University and new to the Taiwan society is quite challenging but my parents planted that thinking in me to be happy and to be willing to give in order to succeed. I am glad to say that in order to live a happier life is to keep an attitude that if I can have what I want , that’s good but if I can’t that’s fine too . To begin with I must say that our trip to southern Taiwan will be impossible to erase from my memory. I really appreciate the kindness of Taiwan ’s people, and all the kind friends I met, visiting the night market at Kaoshiung and Hakka aboriginal culture was great but one of the greatest is one of the main purpose of our trip which was to Children’s homes.
When I was asked to write this it seemed like I could never give the real answer about how I felt, how was the trip? The real answer is in my heart. Perhaps typing it out might be easier. How was the trip to southern Taiwan ? I can truly say its one of the greatest moments of all since I came to Taiwan, learnt a lot, learnt how to be a better person, how to be a calmer person, how to accept the reality and how to escape the fact and face it with courage. The kids in the children’s homes are our future so we should devote whole-hearted effort to them. We should treat each other with compassion and that our value as human beings does not depend on how long we live but on how much we contribute to society and the real value of life is in giving. I didn’t think before that this would be a turning point in my life. At first I thought I was just going for the trip and come back to Taipei . But it isn’t so, it turned out to be one of my motivators. Which is to finish this semester and be happy to know that I can accomplish a dream that I have in mind and that is to return to children’s homes and assist in whatever way I can. I thank all the great friends I met during this trip without them this moment wouldn’t exist and I thanks to all who organize these programs especially ”Weichen keep working hard.”
