Tasks: Head of 2009 NTHU International Volunteer in Indonesia

Last summer, I went to U.S.A. and worked hard as a kitchen crew in the Yellowstone National Park. This summer, I’m a sophomore, and I want to be a volunteer in Indonesia where is near Taiwan but I have never been there before. The Chinese have a saying, "To travel ten thousand miles can be more insightful than reading ten thousand books."
With the experiences of volunteer before, I found that in each process of the services I would get priceless memories and meaning of life. I am very honored to have the opportunity to serve as a volunteer to Indonesia to help people. It is not the service in the domestic, but to assist the others in the foreign country. If you ask me whether I would be feel tough and be afraid of it. My answer is “yes”. However, I hope that through this volunteering activity, I will experience more of the treasure from services and gain a deeper understanding of the world.

Personal information of group member(Selene)

Hello ^^
I’m a senior student of National Tsing Hua University and in the department of Engineering and System Science.
I’m not a person so special or remarkable, before joinning the volunteers, I didn’t think of what I can do for people who is not live around me, what I only know is that I can feel happy when I help people who is in needed.
Since I’m in the last period of my college days, I always thik that I should try something different. Incidentally, I join the volunteers and work with other members in our group. After several times of meetings and activities, I recognized that this volunteer job is really meaningfull, either to me or to the people we will meet in Indonisia.
I think I’m lucky to have the chance to experience helpping people immediately instead of doing something so far away. Although it may be a big challenge for us to adapt to the weather or other conditions in Indonisia, but we will overcome it and do our best in the duration of the volunteer days. I can’t wait to start this adventure, and you??

Besides, I contribute my power to education, volunteer due to the goal of leadership club-world peace. At the last semester of my third in NTHU,I read a book “How to Chang the World”,I feel I have to know what is social entrepreneurs and volunteer life. Fortunately, I join Indonesia international volunteer group and I am on the road of being volunteer. By this experience, I hope I can find myself and my road. Just like Jobs says:” most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.”Follow my mind, I believe I can be the person what I want to become, and we can do something for us and our country.
