Uniting nations to change a life – Carlos Garcia 8/12/2015

“Uniting Nations to Change a Life” 是由前薩爾瓦多駐聯合國大使 Carlos Garcia 帶領成立的非營利機構,希望能夠透過各種計劃的推行,針對降低薩爾瓦多的高犯罪率作出貢獻。8月12日Garcia大使在紐約舉行宣傳會,有來自各地非營利慈善組織及聯合國的代表共百餘位出席。

透過播放短片,說明了該組織的成立宗旨,是要聯合各方對薩爾瓦多所提供的資源及計劃,來改善當地人的生活和生命,也對好心人基金會多年來在薩爾瓦多的慈善關懷,教育職訓及建屋等各項目,以圖片輔助做了介紹。

好心人基金會副會長夏長策致辭時表示,正如短片所介紹,好心人基金會長期來在薩國做的慈善關懷,教育職訓,建屋等各項人道援助就是要幫助弱勢改善生活。捐贈電腦,車床,縫紉機,烤箱等設備給地方政府幫助了更多的職訓教室的設立,而捐贈給學校的電腦及圖書館提供給學生更好的學習環境。他強調降低犯罪率的根本之道應該就是從教育做起,良好的教育或是學習一技之長,讓人們有自力更生的能力,有了這個能力犯罪率相對就會下降。

與會的聯合國非政府組織代表們紛紛提出建議,希望能幫助減低薩爾瓦多的高犯罪率。 從教育著手獲得普遍的認同,此外透過信仰的力量,傳教士們對於青少年的輔導也是不容忽視的。

正值端午佳节来临之际, 气温节节攀升。在周末,那些空下来的人们或组织野餐,或走亲访友,一片欢乐祥和的样子。好心人基金会新洲分会的义工们也怀揣着热情——在这灿烂的五月里开展了新一轮的募衣工作。

募衣工作分段分地点在多个新洲中部的中文学校同时进行募衣工作。此次募衣得到多方援助,各个中文学校也早早的做好准备广发英雄帖向广大家长朋友们募衣,光五月三十一号的这一天几个活动地点跑下来,足足收满了一整辆厢式货车,收货颇丰。

值得注意的是,在这一次的大规模募衣活动中涌现了许多我们期待已久的年轻力量,有六位新泽西高中的年轻志愿者全程帮助我们收集,搬运并整理了这一些征募而来的包裹。我们也在此再次号召有更多的年轻朋友来青睐和加入我们的行列-Care To Help Foundation。存好心,做实事。  –  義工 韓忻
