印尼服務心得-7 by Bob

  我從來也不知道自己到底給了多少,甚至在結束了服務以後;但我知道自己得到了多少,縱使這趟服務就像一場太真實的夢一般。


  

  在半年多以來的忙碌與努力後,印尼團終於在七月五號的凌晨四點從學校出發。時間過得很快,也從沒想像過真正抵達後的模樣。只是當踏到印尼這塊土地上時,半年多的努力似乎變的不踏實。一切就像作夢一般地,滿腔熱血與想像,終於變成了能實踐的故事。

  

  腳下的空就像心中的不真實。經過了兩天的轉機,我們終於踏上了這塊最熟悉的陌生大地─印尼。印尼亞齊省是一個嚴格
實行回教律法的自治省份,與我們合作的主要對象是亞齊大學的四位大學生。他們都是當地最優秀的大學生,在這一個月來充當我們的翻譯、嚮導、助教,最重要的是:朋友的角色。



  沙邦島工作坊,是我在服務中的第一次正式上台分享廢棄物管理課程。只是當我在台上分享了兩個多小時,而台下的老師們也聽得頗有心得時,有人提出,當政府不實施相關政策那就算是他們有概念,也懂得分類了,卻總是沒有人可以處理這些回收物,那又有何用呢?這其實是到當地教課之前,我也曾思考過也害怕被提問的問題之一。

  

  我告訴他們,我們或許可以試著跟政府溝通,但是短短的服務時間又談何容易?而我今天之所以要分享這些給大家最主要的原因是希望能改變大家對於廢棄物的態度,而在當地教書的老師才能真正的改變當地居民以及學生的想法。或許我們能做的不多,但是我們就只能期待著:這些小小的資訊能引起一些效應,讓它慢慢地在當地放大,或許有天可以改變政府,改變這個環境。另外讓我印象深刻的是在Takengon的第二個工作坊,同時也是最後一個服務站。由於前面兩個工作坊累積起來的經驗,使我有更多更多的東西想跟大家分享,也試著讓大家得到更多。我分享了在沙邦時看到的有機垃圾分類,同時也引用了老師們問我關於政府推動與否的問題。當發覺時間不夠,才發現我想分享的原來有這麼多;當發現時間走了,才發覺自己也已經經歷了這麼多,學了這麼多。



  回來台灣已經快一個月了,在回來的這段時間裡我一直試著整理自己究竟從這次經驗中得到了什麼,以及給了什麼。或許是因為身為資訊志工的緣故,我們並不把物資支援這件事列入服務目標,我們總是希望能帶一些想法與刺激,使他們用自己的力量改變自己的生活。卻同時也少了最具體的成效,也讓我開始懷疑自己到底做了什麼。



  從出團前的質疑,到服務時的心情,我從來也不知道自己到底給了多少,甚至在結束了服務以後;但我知道我得到了多少,縱使這趟服務就像一場太真實的夢一般。我們從籌備的過程發現社會上行善的力量,以及許多公益的故事;我們從印尼的生活以及許多在地人的性格中體會到不需太多物質的單純幸福;我們從每一個對我們感到好奇的學員身上,看到好多想積極改變自己的行動;我們從幫助我們的當地大學生身上看到了不求回報的付出,以及待人的真誠與感動。有好多好多的故事,有太多太多的感動不停地刺激著我,改變著我。讓我更加懂得珍惜,更加懂得接納,更學會了尊重。



  「一個月,你們能做什麼?」,「做志工一定要出國嗎?」,「他們真的需要你們的幫助嗎?」,「花這麼多錢,有必要嗎?」好多好多的問題,好多好多的質疑,讓我在過程中不停地尋找答案,不停地想自我肯定。然而很遺憾的,我依舊不知道真正的答案是什麼,又或著我該如何說服大家繼續參與這個活動。甚至我不敢肯定這顆在我心中的種子能否萌芽茁壯來回饋這個社會。但我會努力,我會試著積極生活改變自己;我會試著不求回報的付出;我會試著體會單純的幸福;我會試著珍惜週遭的一切。如果可以,我會竭盡所能地將一切分享出去,讓更多人了解此時此刻我所得到的感動。






  I never know how much those people in Indonesia received even after the ser-vices , but I know how much I got from this experience , even if the services is just like a pretty real dream.

  

  After busyness and efforts in the past six months, the Indonesian volunteer group at last started the journey from NTHU at the 4:00 a.m. on July 5. Time flies, but we also never imagined the real situation, which as we arrived here. However, when we really stood on the land in Indonesia, the efforts in Taiwan seems to be un-real. Everything was like a dream, but finally the enthusiasm and imagination could become to the practical story.



  The sky under my foot was just like the unreal feeling in my heart. After transit-ing the airplane for two days, we finally stood on the most familiar strange land ─ Indonesia. Aceh autonomous province in Indonesia is a region where strictly use Is-lamic law, and our main cooperators were the four university students in Aceh. They are also the best local college students. In this month, they were our translators and guides, and also the teaching assistants. But the most important role was the role of a friend.



  Sabang Island workshop, our first service station, was also my first time to teach my course, waste management. But while I shared my thought on the stage for more than two hours and the audience looked like that they got so many information in this course, one of the teachers ask a question that “as the local government doesn't support the related policies, there are always no one who can deal with these re-cycled materials whatever they have any concept about it or understanding about the classification of waste. So, what is the use?” In fact, this question was the hard-est one, which I had ever thought before the course. And I was really afraid of it.



  I told them that we might try to communicate with the local government, but in a short period of service time, it was really not pretty easy. The most important rea-son why today I was here to share the information was for changing the audiences' attitude about waste management. And the local teachers here were the ones who could really change the mind of the local residents and student. Maybe we couldn't contribute much, but what we could expect was that the little idea could cause some effect. It could slowly be amplified by some people in here. And perhaps one day, we can change the government and change the environment.



  Another impressive experience was the second workshop in Takengon that was also the last service station in Indonesia. Because of the accumulated experience from the first two workshops, there were more and more thoughts I wanted to share. And I also tried my best to make everyone get more. I shared organic classification in Sabang island, and also cited the question that the teachers asked me about the local government to promote or not. As I discovered the lack of time, I just found that what I wanted to share was so much. As time passed away, I just realized that I had already experienced so much and, learned so much.



  After back Taiwan for almost a month, I had keep trying to organize myself for what I really got from this experience, and what I gave to them. As a volunteer, per-haps because of being a information volunteer, we didn't regard that the material support was our main target. We always wanted to bring some ideas and stimulation to enable them to use their own power to change their life. But, as the same time, we lost the most concrete achievements. And it let me begin to doubt what I've done after all.



  From my question before we got to Indonesia to the mind when I service, I nev-er know how much those people in Indonesia received even after the service, but I know how much I got from this experience, even if the services is just like a pretty real dream. We found the power to donate in society, and many stories about public welfare as the preparation in Taiwan. We realized the pure happiness without much substance from our lives in Indonesia and the personality of many local people. We saw many positive actions for changing their own life from every member in the workshops who were curious about each of us. We saw the undoubted pay without repayment and the sincere to treat everyone from those local students who assist us. There are plenty of stories. There are too many feeling constantly inspired me, and changed me. Let me know how to cherish everything more and understand how to accept everything, and learned to respect everyone.



  "In only one month, what can you do?", "To be a volunteer, you really have to go abroad to do it?", "They really need your help?", "Spending so much money is ne-cessary?" So many problems and questions let me keep finding the answers in the process and try to confirm myself. But unfortunately, I still don't know what the real answer is, or how to persuade everyone continually participates in this event. Even I am not sure that the seed in my mind can thrive until it can give back. But I will try. I'll try to live positively to change my own life. I'll try to give the undoubted pay without repayment. I'll try to understand the pure happiness without much substance. I'll try to cherish everything around me. And if I can, I will do my best to share more people the feeling I get in this moment.
