About college students using their spare time to do charity has always been a hot topic. As modern public welfare increasingly penetrates into life, college students have formed a teaching team during the winter and summer vacations. Action will definitely bring rewards and insights.
The original intention of doing charity is not to ignore the small things.
I am often questioned, "Public welfare is the patent of great philanthropists, you can't help", instead of having a hard weekend holiday, haha Instead of working hard to do charity, it is better to make money first, and then donate it after making a lot of money.” Every time at this time, I will think of a short story
A story has deeply affected me:< /p>
One morning, the sea receded, and the beach was covered with "stranded" fish. They were about to die one by one. At this time, a little boy was on the shore, picking up the fish one by one. , and then threw it back into the sea. An adult came over and said disdainfully: "There are so many fish on the beach. Who cares if you can save a few?" The little boy held the fish and said firmly: " This one cares! This one cares"...
This one cares, this one cares...Why don't children care? I am willing to do my best to give more value. Every child is a champion, this year In the summer, when I read the feedback after it was over, I couldn't help but burst into tears. As the team leader, I have participated in a full year of charity training, from team building training to mind mapping, in order to ensure the success of the Guizhou volunteer teaching in the past two months. From children's cognition to reading skills, everything I learned was put into use. It was the first time I took 17 energetic college students to the countryside. I secretly made up my mind that I would work hard to lead the team 24 times in a row. After an hour's green train + minibus + hiking, we all arrived at Bailu Primary School in Baizhai Township, Guizhou
This article will mainly post some feedback from the team members. They are all ordinary students. Sophomore and junior students at the school

“The more than half a month of summer camp in Guizhou seemed like a dream to me - there was something in the dream. There are terraced fields under the sea of ??clouds, green mountains and green waters, and the innocent smiles of children. When I actually set out for Guizhou in July, I felt a very different feeling. I set out directly the day after taking the final exam - it was really fulfilling from the first day of summer vacation. The train is heading southwest, and many green mountains and green waters pass by outside the window; the road winding around the mountains is winding, and when you look out, you can see a deep river; when walking on the mountain road with a heavy load, your waist is not straight, and you look down at the road ahead and the sun own shadow. The bumpy journey from Guangzhou to Bailu Primary School in Guizhou Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture was something I never expected before the interview, during the May Day training, or even during the training. When we finally arrived at our destination, Bailu Primary School, although the school building was old and tilted, those enthusiastic children soothed our hearts right away

"It was during the eight hours in these mountains that I came up with the idea of ??"how can there be so many magical villages and homes in such deep mountains" and "how can people who walk in nature have the idea that humans can dominate nature? This kind of emotion led to the admiration of "how many generations have those terraced fields extending from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain been cultivated and inherited?"
I have always thought about why some people are poor and some are poor. Being wealthy, excluding all external factors, I think is intrinsically a cultural attribute of one’s own. If cultural attributes are subject to human will, then isn’t it possible to change one’s own destiny? However, I found a way, which is to read. We must cultivate a bookish spirit, because bookishness is the most beautiful temperament. So I decided to sign up for this reading summer camp.
Children’s innocence, kindness and enthusiasm touch us all the time, but at the same time, we cannot ignore the hidden sadness behind their growth. We are deeply aware of the regional gaps in education, and we pity the children here. No, we worry about whether it is necessary for them to get out of the mountain, whether they can get out of the mountain, how to get out of the mountain, and what kind of help we should give to help them better and more directly.

“The most touching thing was the "Thanksgiving Circle" activity. When the BGM slowly sounded from the mobile phone, we gathered in a big circle with our eyes closed and listened to Da Chang Questions were answered one by one.
From being unfamiliar with each other when we set out in mid-July, to seeing each other day and night, the faces of each member of the team, the mountain roads we climbed together, the meals we cooked together, the regular meetings we held together, and the Playing werewolf on the playground, watching the sunset and starry sky together, all the scenes reappeared before my eyes." Tears fell naturally... Looking back on this time many years later, many details may have been blurred, but I will still remember such a summer. , a group of people who named their team "Pioneering Pioneers" once searched for the power of reading with children under the bright blue sky and the sun."

< p>How lucky I am to meet such a group of wonderful people this summer, how lucky I am to listen to your stories~ Many, many years later, I should still remember those nights where I counted shooting stars and listened to stories. Talking about the starry sky, I will still remember those red, professional and dirty routines, as well as the awe, cherishment, gratitude and touching you taught me. To these male and female students with stories, I hope you will have more wonderful lives in the future and have more stories to tell...5.
"But Contrary to my worries, after arriving at Bailu Elementary School, not to mention the beautiful scenery of the sea of ????cloud terraces that healed me again, every teammate was in a state of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, which was surprisingly We prepare lessons passionately every day, eat potatoes and rice with big mouthfuls, talk about the "dry toilet" where mosquitoes dance, mingle with the children, and share the beautiful and touching things that are about to pass at the eight o'clock meeting every day. One day, groups of people moved small stools and listened to each other’s stories under the star-studded night sky. I couldn’t help but think of a word, that is, the years are quiet. ”

After talking about children, my teammates moved me a lot, but while I was moved, my teammates also made me think more. Success Studies encourages people to make friends with people who are much better than themselves, because the sense of gap created is enough to make a person work hard. Teacher Xiao Zheng is really full of useful information and knows a lot of knowledge. At this time, I will reflect on myself that I have not studied enough. When I see Rourou often revising the lesson plans, I will reflect on whether I am responsible for the children and do one thing. Have I given everything I have? When I see Xiao Longnu’s divination, I will think, in these beautiful years, have I persisted in doing something that I really love? What is it that I really love... ..

On the last night of the starry sky talk, the team leader asked what impressed me the most as a volunteer teacher this summer. I said the starry sky and the toilet. In a primitive place like Bailu Village, Nanzhai Township, the scenery is the most healing! The sea of ??cloud terraces every morning, the stars, shooting stars and even the Milky Way every night. These are the most beautiful and shocking scenery I have seen in my more than 20 years of life! In the future, I may never go to such a place again. I will never wait for an opportunity to find grass to go to the toilet. I will never walk on a rugged mountain road to the canteen to buy the cheapest snacks. I will get up at around 5 o'clock in the morning to light a fire and cook a big pot of rice. I will never squat in a place. Shower behind a black plastic sheet; wash clothes by a small ditch, with chickens, roosters and hens beside them; eat rice with the old godmother, drink porridge and sugar; eat directly with a cucumber; a group of people go to see the beautiful Sunset; children were playing in another village in the area and were warmly entertained by a simple and enthusiastic villager; there was also the son of the proprietor of the canteen, a college student who returned to his hometown for the summer vacation, talkative and sincere; a simple mountain child, climbing trees, swimming, and making trouble in class. When you are about to leave, you will still fold beautiful flowers with colored paper, write naive but touching words, and then hand them to you casually; of course, there are also 15 teammates with different personalities... all of this, about Everything about Bailu Primary School in Bailu Village, Nanzhai Township, Jianhe County, Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province may never be seen again in this life, but it will never be forgotten.

I have to say that the system of the Youth Collar Program has always been a very touching part to me, so everything that the captain and course leader brought to the team was dedicated to the organization and My own hard work, I am very grateful to have met these two dazzling stars at the summer camp, and I am also very happy to see another group of new stars shining with their own unique light.

Feedback: Children: I teach fourth grade. In fact, the fourth grade children also started to be more naughty in the later stages of the summer camp because the children are very familiar with each other. I can still be quite noisy in class.
In fact, the teacher will spend more time in the later stage

Dear child, I finally saw it. It turns out that the photo on the postcard is not deceiving. The clarity is only seen since childhood. It's a feeling that can only be exuded in your eyes. They have the label characteristics of so-called mountain children in people's minds, but they also have their own specialness.
11.
They love to play and are very competitive. Sometimes they are unwilling to think and use their brains, but this is not the nature of children. They are still children after all. ah. But they seem to be more than just children. The candies they receive are reserved for their younger brothers. The older brothers go to the party and quietly bring back gifts for their younger sisters. They seem to be more mature than urban children of the same age who have not been with their parents for many years. Some commitment and maturity.

“The biggest regret in the entire summer camp is that there was no good class contract at the beginning, resulting in poor discipline in the entire class. In fact, children love to play. They just lacked some guidance, and I didn't do this well, which really hindered the whole camp. It didn't seem to be that smooth at the beginning. The lessons were always unsatisfactory. The lessons I prepared at the beginning were really out of touch with the children's lives. As a result, the children had no interest in the first two days of class. At that time, I was very envious of the sixth-grade teacher. , I can receive a lot of emotion every day. I joke with my teammates every day: “It’s different to have one more year of rice. "But I still secretly made up my mind to teach the class well and make the children feel that we are not here to play."
13.
They really did not disappoint me in class. Although I lacked thinking, the concentration in class and the sincerity towards me made me feel very happy. I don’t think I brought them anything, but they brought me so much touch and happiness. I gained a lot...I believe I will go back again to see those kind and honest people. A kid at heart.

Among the six primary schools in Guizhou, the conditions and environment are relatively poor and backward, and the children here are also relatively lacking in knowledge. When I talked about the highest mountain in our country in class, they didn’t know it was Mount Everest. But when I talked about the history of changes in Mount Everest and the Himalayas, they knew that it used to be a sea. They said they saw it in the encyclopedia. Pass. At that moment, I seemed to understand the meaning of a summer camp with the promotion of reading as its core. We have traveled thousands of miles to come here to bring the outside world, more knowledge and brand-new books to the children here. Only those who have experienced it personally know the meaning and value behind these things.

Unlike some partners, I have no doubts about Gypsophila’s existing reading promotion model and the changes I can bring to children, but this is really my This is the first time I have truly come into contact with the current situation of education in rural areas, and I am truly saddened by the unfairness of education. I just read an article today that talks about the universal creativity and potential that all children have, and that the only thing that really makes the difference is resources. I know very well that the unfairness of education is dependent on the unfairness of the economy, and this will go back to rural development. I finally understand that everything you come into contact with is silently connected. No matter what I want to do, Whether it is rural construction, education or ecology, in the final analysis, it is still the same. . . Returning to the main courses during the camp period, my courses are basically not much different from the lesson plans. I only modified the content of two classes. Perhaps it is because I have had the most exposure to the themed story sessions before, which is obviously what I took. The most convenient class. During the course preparation process, I really wanted to conduct a comprehensive practice of what I have been exposed to in the past two years, so I had many classes related to environmental protection and nature. However, in the end, I was unable to sing alone, but it was also regrettable. I deleted a course on nature notes, but in the ecological games, leaf collages and environmental recitations, I saw that rural children have much deeper emotions for nature than urban children, and I also felt their natural interest in this aspect. It is a pity that there are few guides. Maybe promoting local nature courses in rural areas would be a good attempt for children. Institutions can also develop similar systematic courses. Another main focus of the camp is getting along with the children. I am trying my best to rely on my own understanding to maintain this relationship, that is, to teach my own classes well and bring some changes and influence to the children.
Therefore, I took less initiative in getting along with them at the beginning, and forgot what I once believed in most, "Maybe the children just need companionship." I also feel the impact of the lack of this part on both of us. Although I don’t regret keeping a distance, I regret not observing them more carefully. For me, a first-time teacher, there is still a long way to go.

Reappointment: The changes that occur in children are not necessarily visible to the naked eye, but may occur at a certain moment when children make some choices in the future. They will suddenly remember that that summer of that year, that teacher once taught us how to do it and how to choose. I hope that in the hearts of the children, the knowledge and principles we have shared with them at the summer camp have found a place to take root and sprout quietly and slowly in the long years to come.

After some efforts, the situation gradually improved. What impressed me most was that after I finished telling "The Revenge of the Prince", the children asked me: "Where did you find this book? I want to know the whole story." They learned that it was in the library, and after my consent , a swarm of bees flocked to the library. After they ran to the library, I was stunned for 2 seconds and started to chuckle again. At that moment, I felt that all the efforts were worth it

And children are the church It taught me a lot. The ten children in the sixth grade are all very well-behaved and sensible. Among them, Longcheng, the most naughty one, also loves reading. The beautiful Tingting has a peculiar bookish quality. Shengtao, who always smiles, seems to have a look in her eyes during class. It is a perfect fairy tale. Chang Pei, who loves origami, is ingenious. Chang Huan, who likes to talk cross talk on stage, is humorous. Study committee member Deng Kai is as loving and humble as Kong Rong to his younger brothers and sisters. The lovely Anemone is even more considerate. The quiet Jianxiong has a dream of becoming a writer, the smart Qiying is among the best but is very humble, and Honglin, who has a very high talent for painting, makes me look at him with special eyes. Not only that, they are simple, cute and have a sincere love for books. But I also found that they were very unconfident, didn't like to think, and couldn't find their own bright spots. After that, I worked hard to guide them in class.
“After my volunteer status ends, I want to continue to provide help to these rural children in another capacity. Of course, in addition to recognizing the importance of reading to children during the summer camp, In addition, I also gained a super team that supported each other, was simple and pure, and spent almost every day in laughter. This is a time that will be cherished forever. ”< /p>
