溫馨感恩的期末慶賀與成果發表(撰文:林建勳;周則銘)
文藻外語大學「溫暖白色巨塔的小螺絲釘─文藻國際志工共創就醫無障礙」USR 社會實踐計畫,於六月十六日晚間6:30舉行線上將近130人的期末慶賀與成果發表會。每年的發表會對於USR實踐計畫而言,都是重大的事情,因為在這個大會上,可以展現USR計畫一學期來的服務成果以及同學們的反思,可說是整學期活動中最美麗的句點。
成果發表會的進行一向都是採比賽制,依服務場域及所屬課程的不同,本次共有十個隊伍參加競賽。所有同學們所共有的經驗是到醫院的「一般服務」,但是在「專業服務」上,有些同學到立德國中課輔服務,有些則到左營國中課輔服務,另有一些則專心於旗山和嶺口兩所國小營隊的規劃及經營,更有些同學在線上為柬埔寨的小朋友進行遠距英文課程。
本學期負責營隊的同學們雖做了充份的準備,但由於疫情的關係,營隊皆臨時取消,大家都感到遺憾,但幸運的是同學在準備的過程中,依然是收穫滿滿。這次成果發表會採取遠距進行,透過Microsoft Teams進行期末慶賀成果發表,有將近130位團隊成員們在線上進行交流,這也是USR計畫有史以來的第一次。
發表會的比賽評審團是由各服務場域的夥伴嘉賓以及學校老師所組成。此次與會的嘉賓有義大醫院林宜鋒主任、小港醫院國際長陳俊鴻醫師、旗山國小李紋勝校長、嶺口國小葉鵲根校長、立德國中洪瑞鍇校長、得勝者教育協會洪佳麗秘書長、沈錦秀主任和吳繡娟主任,各位貴賓不但在同學服務的過程中給予同學們最大的協助,同時在本次發表會上還幫同學們評分打氣,大家都特別感謝這些合作場域的好夥伴們,如果没有他們的極力相挺及幫助,小螺絲釘團隊們無法如此令人喝采!
大會一開始,師長們不約而同都送上祝福,在嚴峻疫情下給同學們打氣。在歡愉的氣氛之中,同學們各組報告依序上場,共有:醫醫不捨、春日部防衛隊、獨一無二、服繪雙修、柬單愛、義立螺絲釘、「醫」起改變、深碗不漏、青鳥、讓我們同在「醫」起等十組,各組都在事前做足準備,有簡報PPT,也有小短片。用心的程度讓人激賞。
在醫院的服務中,同學們雖只從事一些簡單的工作,諸如在急診室舖病床、在櫃台協助資料建立、輪椅的出借與為患者帶路等,但對於同學們而言,這都是跨出生活舒適圈的一大步,他們學會去和脾氣不好的病患相處,用耐心化解戾氣,也用心向志工阿姨、叔叔們學習,更在醫院現場目睹了醫務人員的辛勞和付出,也看到了人生的生離死別,因此學會了珍惜生命和福份。這些收穫是校園象牙塔中所無法提供的養份,這些額外的收穫才是USR課程真正想給學生的,而這些養分有一個特色,就是你付出的越多,收穫也越大,這就是同學說的一加一大於二,其實只要有心,世界又豈只是「一加一大於二」,結果應是「無限大」,願景到哪裡,成果就到哪裡。
文藻是個國際化的學校,所以USR的同學中有來自世界各國的學生,這些外國學生也遇到更多的跨文化溝通的挑戰及困難。有位外籍生分享到醫院服務,遇到了只會說台語的台灣阿嬤,這樣的場景甚至連作夢都不曾有過,但同學們以熱心、耐心和愛心,同時虛心的學習,通過了種種考驗。
在中場休息後,敦請各位嘉賓為同學說話訓勉,並頒發志工證書。旗山國小李紋勝校長說,志工素養的養成,其核心就是「傳逹溫度」。嶺口國小葉鵲根校長說,長期以來,和文藻都有營隊的合作,這次因疫情取消營隊令人遺憾,但他已看到了同學的用心。得勝者教育協會洪佳麗秘書長說,生命中最大的獎賞就是有機會去做自己想做的事,發揮自己正向的影響力,世界將因你我而更美好。義大醫院林宜鋒主任則說,醫院是個很特別服務的地方,從生老到病死都有,希望大家都能有更多的成長,看到別人的需要,同時也發現自己的不足。小港醫院陳俊鴻國際長院務十分繁忙,為了參加本次線上會議,特別留院加班,他說小港醫院距文藻較遠,本來以為不會有同學願意赴院當志工,没想到同學們來了30多人。他肯定同學的耐心、熱心和愛心,也感謝大家。最後立德國中洪瑞鍇校長說,志工的真諦,將使生命更加光彩,我們要把這樣的故事傳遞出去,讓生命的光輝有更多人分享。
The end-of-semester celebration and results presentationBy Chien-Hsun, Lin and Peter Chou
The end of semester celebration and reflection was held at 18:30 on the evening of June 16, 2021 for everyone who is a part of Wenzao Healthcare Communication – University Social Responsibility (WHC-USR) Project. This annual celebration is a major event in the USR project because the reflections and the service results of the students are displayed and shared, making it the most emotional and moving activity in the entire semester.
Unlike a typical course, the presentation of the service results has always been conducted in a form of a competition. Depending on the service field and the respective courses, a total of ten teams participated in this year’s competition. The experience shared by all the students is the general service in the hospitals, while professional services for the course include afterschool lessons in Lide and Zuoying Middle School, planning and organizing elementary school camps in Qishan and Lingkou, and teaching English lessons online to children in Cambodia. Although the students in charge of the elementary camps this semester have made sufficient preparations, but due to the epidemic, the camps were cancelled. Even though everyone was disappointed, the students were still able to present their results online. The end of semester celebration was announced through Microsoft Teams with nearly 130 participants joining this celebration. This was the first time in the history of the USR project to host an online celebration.
The jury for the competition is composed of partners and guests from the various service fields and school teachers. The guests include Director Yifeng Lin of E-Da Hospital, International Director of Xiaogang Hospital Dr. Junhong Chen, Principal Wensheng Li of Qishan Elementary School, Principal Quegen Ye of Lingkou Elementary, Principal Ruikai Hong of Lide Secondary School, Secretary-General Jiali Hong of Winners Education Association, Director Jinxiu Shen and Director Xiujuan Wu. The distinguished guests not only gave the students the great assistance in the process of serving the students, but also rated the students’ presentation and cheered for them.
At the beginning of the celebration, the teachers gave blessings and cheered for the students who did their services during the epidemic. In a joyful atmosphere, the students from each group gave their presentation. There were a total of 10 groups and each group made sufficient preparations beforehand which include PPTs and short videos.
For the service in the hospital, the students only engaged in simple tasks such as making beds in the emergency room, assisting in data input at the counter, lending wheelchair and guiding patients. But for the students, this is a big step out of their comfort zone. They learn to get along with bad-tempered patients, use patience to solve problems, and learning from other volunteers. They also witnessed the hard work and dedication of medical staff at the hospital, the cycle of life, and learned to cherish life’s blessings. These are not things that they can learn if they only study in school. These extra experiences are what the USR course really wants to give to the students.
Wenzao is an international school, so students in the USR also included students from all over the world. These foreign students encountered many challenges and difficulties in cross-cultural communication. One of the foreign student shared that she met a grandmother who only speaks Taiwanese during her hospital service. She was unprepared for such a scene but through perseverance, she was able to complete the task with enthusiasm, patience and love.
After the intermission, the guests issued volunteer certificates and gave warm remarks to the students. Principal Quegen Ye of Lingkou Elementary said that it was disappointing that the camp was cancelled but he has seen the effort and dedication of the students. Jiali Hong, secretary-general of the Winners Education Association, said that the greatest reward in life is the opportunity to do what you want and exert your positive influence. The world will be better because of you and me. Director Yifeng Lin of E-da said that the hospital is a very special place because you can see people of all ages from newborn babies, to the very old and ill. He hopes everyone have grown from their experience, see the needs of others, and discover their own shortcomings at the same time. Dr Junhong Chen of Xiaogang Hospital is very busy, in order to participate in the celebration, he stayed in the hospital even after his work finished. He said that since Xiaogang Hospital is very far from Wenzao, he originally thought that no students would be willing to volunteer in the hospital. However, he did not expect more than 30 students came. He affirmed the patience, enthusiasm and love of the students and thanked everyone. In the end, Principal Ruikai Hong said that the true meaning of volunteerism will make life more radiant. We must pass on such stories so that many more people can share the brilliance of life.
