Thoughts>The Thoughts of Interviewing the Driving Forces

Mr.Hung-en Chang, the Secretary-General
Yi-ting Liu
    Mr. Hung-en Chang is very humorous. His sincere answers to our questions brought us a lot of help. We can see his knowledge of his job and dedication towards CCNDA.
Ruei-luen Lien
   Mr. Chang is the main driving force behind CCNDA. He said, “Only to provide them with what they need is a true help.” I agree with Mr. Chang. We should take the initiative to help people who need help.
Che-hung Liu
    Mr. Chang encouraged us to find what the disadvantaged people really need. I agree. If we don’t even know what they need, how could we help them?
Po-hsiang Hu
     Mr. Chang kindly told us many details. He was very nice and to us and told us what the teachers of CCNDA insist, which gives us more confidence in the later interviews.
Yu-ta LU
    Mr. Chang challenged us with questions that made us think. He also told us the origin of CCNDA and took us to visit HHDC. We were surprised that the large front door used to be a small door. The interview was very interesting and taught me a lot.
Chia-en Chen
   Mr. Chang is a nice person. During the interview, he not only didn’t give us pressure but also interacted and played games with us. He often smiled and answered our questions humorously. The interview was very successful, and I hope the next interview can be as successful as this one.
Ping Jun- Lai
   Mr. Chang always smiled. People think he is like a movie director who is a very important leader, but he said he was only to help supervise the work. He thinks the afterschool tutoring program is to provide companionship to middle and elementary school children but the afterschool daycare program is only to give parents peace of mind. He believes companionship is the maximum power of happiness to children.
Chia-wei Lin

   It’s incredible that some kids who didn’t like to study nor had good interpersonal relationship have such big improvement after the volunteers’ long-term companionship. They were afraid of interacting with others, but now their interpersonal relationships are getting better and their academic results also got big improvement. Companionship can bring power that helps children progress and grow unknowingly.

De-yang Wu
    Mr. Chang is very important to CCNDA’s operation. He introduced the overall operation of CCNDA to us, which gives us a better understanding of the crew and equipment required for an association. I also learned the problems an association may encounter as well as the purpose of CCNDA. I think the important people of an association should know all information of the association in order to work efficiently.
Bo-han Lin
   Mr. Chang introduced the environment of CCNDA to us. They have insect boxes so we observed the life of crickets. I feel it’s magical.
Ya-fen Wu, the Director of Meals Affairs Division
Yi-ting Liu
    I feel Ms. Ya-fen Wu is very humorous. She gave interesting answers, and even told us that she had set up a hidden camera in CCNDA in case the kids would deny the wrongdoings.
Ruei-luen Lien
    I feel Ms. Wu is very smart because she knows how to make yucky food yummy. She is an optimistic, cheerful, and warm person. She likes children, and even makes meals with them, which makes CCNDA a happy place. I hope her joy can infect everyone and encourage everyone to try his or her best.
Che-hung Liu
   In the interview, I was impressed by how Ms. Wu made those little picky eaters like the food they used to hate, and I learned we could complete any impossible mission as long as we pay attention to it. It was quite fun interviewing Ms. Wu.
Po-hsiang Hu
    Ms. Wu is very cheerful. She is kind to children and likes to chat, joke, and teach children how to make dishes. She is a very important person of HHDC, but she is very kind to us. She always prepared snacks for us every time before we left HHDC.
Yu-ta LU
     As the Director of the Meals Affairs Division, she does everything, such as buying groceries, washing vegetables, cooking, and encouraging kids to eat food. I admire her that she is able to make kids eat the yucky food such as eggplant and bitter melon.
Chia-en Chen
    She thinks it is her pleasure being able to help others, including teaching children how to take responsibilities. She carefully plans the budget of every single meal. We should follow her on helping others.
Ping Jun- Lai
     The Director of the Meals Affairs Division is the combination of the Director of the General Affairs Division and the kitchen worker. When she cooks, if any children don’t do their homework, she makes them do their homework in the kitchen. Ms. Wu always buys a lot of groceries because she has to prepare food for the entire CCNDA, which is not an easy job! I guess the pots and ladles she uses to cook are the extra-large size and she must have extraordinary arm strength!
Chia-wei Lin
    Being the Director of the Meals Affairs Division, she not only knows how to make deserts but also how to shop. Besides, she often needs to repair things because of so many children here. Therefore, she teaches the children that everything in CCNDA is a blessing, so they shouldn’t waste anything.
De-yang Wu
   Ms. Wu cooks a wide variety of cuisines in the kitchen .Sometimes she brings children to the kitchen to help her make dishes. I can tell she loves the challenging work of the kitchen here, such as cooking, planning food budget, and thinking how to buy the best ingredients at the lowest cost.
Bo-han Lin
   The most incredible to me is that she has helped many people who didn’t like vegetables to accept eating vegetables. I really admire her for vegetables are really important to the health.
Ms.I-Hsuan Li, the Executive Secretary
Yi-ting Liu
    I feel Ms. Li is a serious, responsible, and thankful person. It’s her part-time job working in CCNDA. For her age, being a part-time worker and a student is not easy.
Ruei-luen Lien
    Ms. Li grew up in CCNDA. CCNDA helped her a lot, so she works in CCNDA in order to help more kids who need help. I think she has good thoughts. She is very optimistic and willing to help others, which brings warmth to the society.
Che-hung Liu
   In the interview, she mentioned a map contest in our school before. She was the only one completing the map. It’s not easy. She grew up in CCNDA, so she wants to help other kids who need help now. She is great!
Po-hsiang Hu
    Ms. Li, after the interview, told us her volunteer experience and why she engages in this job. She was very nice to us. We really hope to take her life education class and become her students.
Yu-ta LU
     Ms. Li is our school alumni. She described her life experience and her title and responsibilities in CCNDA in detail. I learned a lot from her.
Chia-en Chen
   Ms. Li said she had to do everything as an Executive Secretary. She started as a volunteer and now she gets paid. During these ten years, she has helped many children. We should follow her example to help the people in need so that the society will become better.
Ping Jun- Lai
    Ms. Li is the youngest volunteer in CCNDA. She went to Changan Elementary School too. She is a program manager but her title is Executive Secretary. She is kind and calm, and with positive attitude. She thinks her job is fun and makes her happy and creative, so she never wastes time but works hard for what she insists.
Chia-wei Lin
    Ms. Li said she would continue to work here even if she gets no pay. I think it’s a great thought because her purpose working here is not for wages but for helping others.
De-yang Wu
    The responsibilities of Executive Secretary involve a lot. Ms. Li, starting as a volunteer, consistently works hard and now she can efficiently plan and arrange CCNDA’s operation. I learned that we should never give up but consistently work hard from the interview.
Bo-han Lin
    I heard that Ms. Li does everything as an Executive Secretary. She is mainly responsible for managing programs. Through the interview, I learned that everything would be solved as long as we work optimistically from her.
Ms.Mei-lien Shih, the Accountant
Yi-ting Liu
    I feel Ms. Shih is very gentle and careful. She is retired and now is a volunteer of CCNDA. When I retire, I would stay home to enjoy my life.
Ruei-luen Lien
     Ms. Shih became a volunteer of CCNDA because her sister worked here. Since CCNDA is short of workers, she continues to volunteer here even though she is old. After the interview, I feel her loving heart for the disadvantaged people is our good example. I also need to learn how to manage money to avoid excessive waste of money.
Che-hung Liu
    Ms. Shih said an accountant doesn’t need to be good at math in order to easily do the job. Since she has right thought as well as a loving heart, she is willing to give without regret.
Po-hsiang Hu
     Ms. Shih is the main power of CCNDA. She needs to manage money, including donation and CCNDA’s expenses. I think it’s not an easy job because she needs to manage accounting as well as taking care of the children.
Yu-ta LU
   Ms. Shih is responsible for managing CCNDA’s income and expenditure. I feel her work is related to Executive Secretary Ms. I-hsuan Li’s work. Ms. Li writes plans for funding, and Accountant Ms. Shih manages budget. I hope they work together happily.
Chia-en Chen
    Ms. Shih said she was willing to do the work even though her math wasn’t good. CCNDA doesn’t have much funding, or sometimes even short of funding, but people are willing to donate money to help the association. We should learn their spirit.
Ping Jun- Lai
    The association’s financial management is more complicated than the personal or family’s financial management. Starting from bookkeeping, we can eventually become financial expert. To the association, good financial management makes the operation more smoothly.
Chia-wei Lin
    CCNDA’s funds came from donation in the beginning. Later, it started to apply for other supplements. Therefore, it’s necessary to well utilize the limited resources. Everyone needs to use money properly to make sure each cent is well utilized.
De-yang Wu
    Ms. Shih said financial management is a fun job. I think it is fun but there must be a lot of difficulties. In the interview, we talked about the sources for holding community activities and CCNDA’s budget plan. We learned the operation of CCNDA involves money, happiness, and thankfulness.
Bo-han Lin
    I think financial management is very easy to her but very difficult to me. Financial management involves math. Although it’s difficult, I am glad to interview Ms. Shih.
