Helping at RuiFang 瑞芳動物之家義工服務

Learning and growth is always more effective with an actual hands-on element, and the same goes for learning about social issues and the importance of contributing to society. As part of our semester-long theme, we traveled to and volunteered at RuiFang Animal Shelter.

通過動手實踐的教育方式,總是能促進學生的學習成效和自我成長。如果想更深入地瞭解社會問題以及社會貢獻的重要性,實踐與身體力行亦是最有效率的不二法門。 因此,為呼應本學期「慈善」的主題,我們兩次前往瑞芳動物之家擔任義工。

Students were able to see firsthand the situation that we are trying to better, and to meet and interact with the dogs that we are hoping to help. They were able to establish a personal bond with the animals and to more deeply feel the importance of their work. It is clear that what we are working on in class has a real impact on real lives.

學生們在抵達動物之家後,對於流浪動物所造成的社會問題有了切身的體驗。我們不僅希望能改善這些問題,也希望每位學生能選擇一隻動物之家裡的狗,與牠有更多的互動,建立起親密的關係,因為這會使學生更深刻地感受到,自己的努力是有意義的。我們在課堂中產出的成果皆會對現實中的社會造成真正的影響。

To be able to better society and the world in some small way through personal action is surely one of the most fulfilling and worthwhile actions that one can take in life, and this was a message that the students were able to receive not just in concept, but into the core of their being.

如果自己的一個行為能改善社會甚至是世界的現況,不論這個變化是多麼地渺小,無疑都將帶來莫大的成就感並成為人生中最有價值的經歷之一。這樣的一個思維,透過我們課程內容的安排,不僅僅是傳遞給了學生,而是讓他們由衷地認為自己是可以造成改變的。
