40 服務與關懷 The Angel of Kolkata: Service Trip in India Twenty-five members of the Rotaract Club of New Asia College organized and took part in a service trip to Kolkata, India from 5 to 13 January 2013. During the service trip, the student volunteers organized activities and delivered free lessons at Snehaneer, a training centre meant for mentally and physically challenged children. In addition to that, the volunteers went to a local school called Monimala Kendra, where they taught, played games with the school children, and organized group activities for them. The CUHK students also visited three service organizations, namely, the Louis Braille Memorial School for the Sightless, Cheshire Home, and the Old Lady’s Home, where they did short-term volunteer service and distributed gifts to the service targets. This trip enabled them to have a better understanding of the lives of the Indian people living in extreme poverty. Yunnan Service Learning Trip Seventeen students from the Department of Social Work participated a leadership training and service project organized by ‘C Vision’ from 28 March to 3 April 2013. They went to Shayilang village at Konglongshan township, Yunnan province. After learning about from experts in the field of water conservation the maintenance and construction of water tanks, the students helped to build water tanks for the village and taught villagers how to use water purifiers. They also visited households of the village to get a better understanding of everyday life in this water-deficient area. 尋找加爾各答的天使 2013 年 1 月 5 至 13 日，二十五名新亞書院扶 輪青年服務團成員前往印度加爾各答， 探訪肢體殘障及智障孩童。 他們往訪服務殘障孩童的訓練學校 Snehaneer ，以及服務貧困孩童的學校 Monimala Kendra ，除了教學，還與受助者 玩遊戲和進行團體活動，另外還訪問盲人 學校布萊葉紀念學校、慈氏護養院和老年 婦女之家，捐贈各種物資。此行有助義工體 驗印度赤貧戶的苦況。 雲南水利工程之旅 十七位中大社會工作學系學生在 2013 年 3 月 28 日至 4 月 3 日參與「 C Vision 」一項領袖 訓練計劃，遠赴雲南恐龍山鎮沙依郎村服 務。他們在當地水利專家的指導下，學習 農村水利工程中的各種設施功能和修建程 序，並實地參與儲水池的修建工作，還探訪 受缺乏飲用水之苦的村民，了解其生活情 況，並向他們講解淨水器的使用方法。 「用手觸摸這座水窖時，心裏暖暖的，原來每人的一份綿薄之力集合起來的 力量可以這樣強大……對於一個個人來說，可能只是少買一件衣服，少吃一 頓大餐的事，但每個人願意少享用一頓美食，便可以完成一個村莊打開龍 頭便有水的心願。我答應自己，之後都要去盡自己的一份綿薄之力給需要的 人。」 Ô I was so moved when I put my hands on the water tank built by us. We can make a difference if everyone does a little bitÉ . You can help the inhabitants of a village to enjoy the convenience of tap water just with the money that would otherwise be spent on a meal or a piece of clothing. I wonÕ t forget this experience and will do whatever I can to help the people in need!Õ 吳林珈 Wu Linjia ''
