Question

Indonesia is my mother’s home and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering（做志愿者） would be a good and fun way to do so.

I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.

Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting, but I was very nervous. As time went by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was really the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities(责任).

Many children were shy at first. But when they felt relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence(自信).

For the children who need more help，The Education Program（TEP） will collect donations(募捐) to help them.

As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month to help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors(资助者). This was a way for the children to communicate(交流) with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy fac es, I had a great sense of pleasure.
