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.

If you or someone near you is in danger, how will you do the first aid? Mr. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing First Aid Center has some useful suggestions.

Check the environment. Watch the situation carefully. Is there anything that might do harm to you? Will you or the victim be hurt by fire, harmful smoke, a broken building, electrical wires or other dangerous situations? Do not rush into a place where you could be a victim yourself.

If being close to the victim will put your life in danger, search for skilled help at once. Skilled people have received special training and know how to deal with these situations. First aid isn ‘ t helpful if you do it but hurt yourself.

Call for help. Call the police or some other first-aid services immediately if you believe someone is seriously injured. If you are the only person on the scene,try to restart the patient,s breath before calling for help. Do not leave the victim alone.

Care for the person. Care for someone who has just gone through serious hardness. Remember to stay calm, encourage him (her) and you should be reassuring. Let the person know that help is on its way and that everything will be all right.
