Indonesia is my mother’s homeland 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 had 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 rather nervous. As time passed by,I learned how to be better. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of many of my responsibilities (责任).

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

For the children who are more in need,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 and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy faces,I had a great sense of pleasure.
