I just return from the HC hot pot. Sitting in front of the computer, I want to record the thinking and feeling of the unforgetable day. In short, today is tired, but impressed.
This afternoon, I went to the children house with other volunteers from HC. We have learnt how to get along with children last week, and prepared carefully, so I expected there won't be so much problem to play games with children. However, after this experience, I realize that social work is not a easy job. Getting along children also need patience and ability. At the beginning, we are challenged by those children. When James asked,"do you want to know who we are?", a boy suddenly answered loudly, "No!". And problem came one by one. Some children fight with each other, some are keep running, and some do not want to attend the games. But luckily, we have enough volunteers to keep an eye on them, and finally we organized them to play games.
Fortunately, after some games, children seems accept us, and they are willing to chat with us. I gradully found that they are cute, innocent, active and curious. The thing that excited me most is that they like me playing the piano. They asked me to play "Ballade Pour Adellin" and "Wedding in the Dream". I am happy that they like it. A girl said she also plays the piano, but at first she was too shy to play for me. I encouraged her to play, and she did at last, I told her that she played buautiful song, and she was talented. I hope my encouragment may help her have more confidence, that is what I learned from the HC class.
At the end, in the sharing section, we asked if they enjoyed the activities. A girl's words impressed me very much. She said there were lots of this kind of helping activities before. And they are getting tired of it. They do not want it any more. These words makes me think a lot. We always want to help people, but does people feel they are helped as we expected? Although we can not force them to accept our help, we can bring them happiness as much as I can. Therefore, I think we should not just be satisfied with the only one volunteering work, writing a news release and telling everyone we have done these kind things to kids. We should continue to do so , and I belive that finally, they will accept our help from their heart. Our job is to bring them happiness, not only to satisfy ourself!
After visiting the children's house, there are still more than two hours before the hot pot. So we just go window-shopping. By the way, I find some shops are giving a discount, that's nice!
The hot pot is also exciting. We are the first getting there, so, we eat first. There are also ten year-1 students, wishing them can be one of us next year! We took lots of photos and I have a lot of fun there. Getting together with my classmates outside the class is wonderful. Thanks to Flora and Cathy who organized this hot pot. They are so responsible! Thank them for giving me a wonderful night!
Good night!
