捐助綿陽市游仙區白蟬中心小學

DONATION TO BAI CHAN SCHOOL IN MIANYANG CITY-SICHUAN

白蟬中心學校離市區120公里，是一個比較偏遠的山村，當我第一次去學校考察的時候，看見學生用兩本書來當羽毛球打，部分學生都是光著腳丫，鄉村的學校就是這樣，讓我想起我的童年。在去年的512地震中，學校遭到嚴重的摧毀，現在已經進入重建階段。預計明年三月入住新的教學樓。

本來預計的三個小時路程，但我們走了四個多小時， 當我們進入學校的時候，學生們已經排隊在等候著，看到他們是那麼的有精神，又那麼真心的歡迎我們，雖然我們帶的禮物不多，學校也為我們安排了一個簡短的捐贈儀式，在捐贈儀式上，學校校長說了很多感恩的話，也鼓勵孩子們在艱苦的條件之下努力學習，將來用好的成績來回報社會。明愛會代表易光炳先生闡述了明愛會的背景和宗旨，同時也鼓勵孩子們抓住學習的機 會，為自己的將來、為社會的將來做好準備！

The school is located in a village that is 120 kilometers away from the Mianyang City. When I first arrived in the village to inspect the school, I saw two students playing badminton using books as the badminton racquets while the other students were barefooted. It reminded me of my childhood. The school was severely devastated during the 5/21 earthquake last year. Now the reconstructed had been started and perhaps more classroom building will be build in March next year.

Originally, our estimation is to reach the place in three hours but we realized that we were already walking for more than four hours. The students were already lined up when we arrived. They welcomed us warmly and with high spirit even if our gifts were not so many. The school prepared a simple ceremony for the reception of the donations. The school principal, in his speech, expressed his gratitude and encouraged the students to be diligent in their studies even in difficult situations so that they can return this goodness to the society in the future. CARITAS representative Mr. Yi Guang Bing explained the background and purpose of CARITAS and reminded the children that study is an opportunity that will prepare them for their own future and for the future of the society!
