Goals
The Cyberfair project allows us to learn from Mr. Lian-fa Lin how to lead by example. Our experience serving as volunteer workers, class reps and boy scouts tell us how good service attitudes can create tremendous and positive influence. “We are better because of our services” because we develop our competences by helping others.
We want to promote the philosophy of “We are better because of our services” by setting up an example, so that our classmates can develop the attitudes and competences for serving others. We believe that serving others enriches life. We asked our teacher to give us lectures on this topic and prepare us for the promotional campaign in school.
Role Models
Our teacher told us about three role models:
Angle in Kolkata, India──Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa led a deprived life because she wants to experience poverty. This allowed her to serve the poor people with a humble attitude. Her dedication and unselfishness touched many people in the world. She was a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Her charitable works and service spirits are still admired by many today.
Founder of Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation──Dharma Master Cheng Yen
Master Cheng Yen founded Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation in Hualien in 1966. Her devotion and commitment have inspired thousands of people to follow her lead and help those in suffering. She uses the power of the religion to help the world.
Founder of Genesis Social Welfare Foundation──Mr. Ching Chao
We are all familiar with the TV commercial line “Give away a VAT receipt; help the patients in a persistent vegetative state.” A retired employee from Taiwan Sugar Corporation, Mr. Ching Chao established Genesis Social Welfare Foundation, the only charity in Taiwan dedicated to helping the patients from poor families and unfortunately in a persistent vegetative state. Without any sponsorship from the government or private-sectors, he travelled all over Taiwan to raise funds.
