【國際志工信望愛之行】

團隊彼此尊重、分工負責，共創美好成果

  政大企管一/Elio 譯者/Jessica

        我是政治大學一年級新生。今年夏天我決定要參加CCSA主辦的國際志工暑期育幼院服務，在第一階段我們前往高雄縣六龜育幼院服務那裡的孩子，第二梯次來到如綠草如茵的屏東縣信望愛育幼院。

  第二梯次的志工們聚餐，開心分享服務心得             在服務過程中elio常被小朋友圍繞深受歡迎

        因為曾在六龜服務的經驗，所以到信望愛之後，覺得要做得更好，對自己的期許更高。第一天我們向孩子自我介紹的過程還不錯，我發現二所育幼院的環境和工作人員很不同，他們都各有與孩童相處的一套方法，和組織文化有關，最重要的是我們和院童、工作人員，還有院長都要保有良好的溝通。

        和在六龜相比，我想第二梯次的成員更完整。男志工有我、Ray、Daniel，所以當需要幫忙時，也有較強的支援，畢竟男孩較了解男孩。女志工則有宇津、郁晴、凱婷、思敏、Elise、Rebecca 和Silvia。宇津是最有經驗、也是很好的領導者。第一天她就對志工們展現尊重及關心。通常在一個團體裡好好相處，及對彼此平等對待和尊重，這在我們的團隊裡都看得到。這梯次的志工人數較多，每人負責不同的教案與活動。領導者對夥伴都投以相同的關注，表現得好也全是因為團隊的融洽合作。

        志工人數足夠分兩組來照顧院童，這樣一來我們也比較輕鬆。在屏東的孩童比較乖巧，會聽從老師要他們配合的事情。Rebecca和我負責年紀最小的男生，郁晴和Silvia是另一個家庭，思敏和Daniel一組，Elise和凱婷負責另一組。我照顧的小朋友特別活潑，常是最吵鬧的一群。剛開始彼此還不熟，所以我們會用一些遊戲來和他們親近。每天都按表操課，只有運動的課程會視氣候有所更動。時間在不知不覺中度過，當我們察覺時，已接近志工服務的尾聲了。

Reflection of being A volunteer at Pingtung children’s home

I am a freshman at National Chengchi University and this summer made a decision to be a volunteer on behalf of CCSA. The first length of the program we started to work with children at Kaoshiung county but later we moved in Pingtung at a place that flourished with greeneries.

Moving into Pingtung Children’s home gave me more hope of doing better because of the experience I had in Kaoshiung so I had more expectations of myself and had higher hopes. The first day we introduced ourselves to the children in Pingtung children’s home and it went quite well. The environment and the workers were much different as compared to the ones in Kaoshiung. I think each children’s home has their own method of getting along with children like organizations do they all have different cultures. A big and the most important thing is our communication channel with the children, the workers and the presidents.

First of all i think the group we have is much stronger and mixed compared to the one in Kaoshiung. From the boys side,there was me, Ray and Daniel so I had more backup from the boys side in whatever help I need and usually boys understand boys. And from the girls side there was Jean , Victoria , Cathy,Bunny, Elise, Rebecca and Sylvia. Jean was much more experienced and she really knew how to be a good leader so from the first day she demonstrated good leadership and showed great care and respect for each individual volunteer. In general a group should get along well and each one should have equal values and respect for each other and these existed in our group.  This group was bigger than the one in Kaoshiung so we spread the work and divided everyone for specific responsibilities. In kaoshiung we had a lot of pressures because there was only five of us and we had a lot of kids to take care of. The most important aspect of our group is that the leaders get along well with everyone and we had very good communication with each other. There was no specific person that the leader focuses on but instead focuses on everyone.

The mixed culture of our group also was a big contribution to our strength of performing good. For instance because of the experiences that Jean has we always have backup if there is rain. For outdoor activites like football, volleyball there was always some activity to replace these sports because we couldn’t play due to rainy conditions. So we divide into groups of two’s and take care of each group. So  we were quite relaxed at this place. Back at the other children’s home we were mostly responsible for all of the students whosoever the host is so this is much difficult and we had more help and was much easier for all of us in Pingtung.

The kids here in general are much calmer and they prefer to do everything you tell them to do. If a teacher says something that needs to be done then they immediately do it. We divided into the four families so Rebecca and I were responsible for one family which were the youngest boys. Victoria and Sylvia for another family,Bunny and Daniel for another and Cathy and Elise also for another. The kids I had were very active and they were always active and the most noisiest and most active place at this children’s home. At first the children were not familiar to us so we had to play some games with them for us to get familiar. Everyday we had almost the same schedule, only the sports changed a bit because of weather conditions. The days went by quickly and before we realized our voluntary work duration was coming to an end.
