| Ms.Yu-mei Kao, Social Worker |
| Yi-ting Liu |
I think Ms. Kao’s words are very meaningful. She clearly
answered all questions. She told us a lot, but all her words are
important and helpful. |
| Ruei-luen Lien |
Ms. Kao said, “Through my job, I can help people in a difficult
time and guide them to see the hope of life.” I agree that we need to
encourage them. |
| Che-hung Liu |
Ms. Kao told me that we should give them help at the right
moment and treat them as friends, as well as recognizing and
encouraging them. Ms. Kao’s job responsibility involves family and
child caring. I think it is tiring, but Ms. Kao made it. |
| Po-hsiang Hu |
Ms. Kao is great. I think her motivation is to see the growth and
progress of CCNDA’s children, play with them, and help them through
difficulties, as well as caring their families. |
| Yu-ta LU |
We asked Ms. Kao how to help the children whose parents don’t
care them, and her answer was love. She sang a Christian song to us,
which was very impressive. |
| Chia-en Chen |
When Ms. Kao explained to us what love was, she cried. I can see
she is a person with great loving heart. We don’t need to be a
believer, but we can be like her who helps people in need to have a
better life. |
| Ping Jun- Lai |
Ms. Kao’s job is to help the children have a better life. It
teaches me to cherish what I have. There are so many poor families
short of food and clothes, but I grow up in a happy family, so I should
be thankful. |
| Chia-wei Lin |
Ms. Kao’s job involves more family services. I think the social
worker job is very meaningful because they can help people walk out of
darkness, guide people to see the hope of life again, and tell people
that experiencing frustrations is normal and we only need to stand up
after falling. |
| De-yang Wu |
From today’s interview, I feel it is important to help the
children find their merits. I learned that we should not always
criticize others but find their merits. Everyone needs encouragement.
Belief is their motivation for their work. |
| Bo-han Lin |
The social worker’s main job here is to provide assistance to
families in need. In the interview, Ms. Kao mentioned it was important
to help the children find their merits. She said, “I also need to pray
to God in order to help them. Although Ms. Kao and I believe in
different religions, we all believe that the heart of helping people is
very important. |
| Teacher Wen-li Lien, Elementary School Students Living Guidance Division |
| Yi-ting Liu |
From what Teacher Lien said, I feel the warmth of CCNDA. She
said, “CCNDA is like home. Kids feel free staying here and get along
with each other like siblings.” Teacher Lien knows how kids feel and
how to comfort them. CCNDA cares children’s character and feelings the
most, not their grades. |
| Ruei-luen Lien |
I think Teacher Lien has the right thoughts. She said, “Peer
companionship is very important.” Therefore, we should often interact
with people, accompany each other, and support each other in order to
build good interpersonal relationships. When we have difficulties,
friends can help us too.” |
| Che-hung Liu |
I think companionship is very important in becoming independent.
When children just learn to walk, their parents would accompany them
and watch them to make them feel secured so that they have the strength
to walk elsewhere. We need companionship in every stage of our life
because it can bring positive energy. |
| Po-hsiang Hu |
Teacher Lien love kids very much. Her kindness already told us
that she was the counseling teacher before we interviewed her. She may
seem strict, or ferocious sometimes, but it’s all for kids’ benefits.
She knows kids very well, such as their problems, so she won’t force
them. |
| Yu-ta LU |
Teacher Lien said middle school students are more mature than
elementary school students. Besides, they are in adolescence and have
their own thoughts, so they may loose temper sometimes. If they are out
of control, it will be quite dangerous. Middles school students already
have some life stress, which may cause unpleasant mood. |
| Chia-en Chen |
To take the job, patience and perseverance are the two keywords.
With these two, the workers won’t get crazy. We should also help others
like her in order to make a better society. |
| Ping Jun- Lai |
Teacher Lien believes companionship is most powerful. The
afterschool companionship study program, schoolwork help program, and
afterschool daycare programs are very different. The afterschool
daycare program is to ease parents’ heart, but teachers are to
accompany children’s heart. Actually, everyone can help your classmates
if you offer your assistance to those who don’t understand their
schoolwork. |
| Chia-wei Lin |
Teacher Lien thinks that companionship brings power, so taking
care of a child requires patience, love, and companionship. CCNDA’s
children are from financial disadvantaged families, single parent
families, or special need families, so they need more companionship. |
| De-yang Wu |
When you offer help to someone in your class who needs help, be
careful with your words, since you may hurt him or her if you use
improper words. Besides, you should never say: “How come you don’t
understand it?” to make him or her feel embarrassed. |
| Bo-han Lin |
Through the interview, Teacher Lien taught us interpersonal
approaches. Sometimes you may think you were just trying to help, but
if your voice wasn’t good you could hurt people. When we help people,
we shouldn’t make them feel awkward, so that they won’t feel hurt. |
Teacher Yi-lin Huang, Junior High School Students Schoolwork Guidance Division |
| Yi-ting Liu |
Teacher Huang knows teenagers very well. She said, “For some
people I am still young, so I can accompany younger people.” From her
words I feel Teacher Huang understands and cares teenagers, as well as
respecting and having enthusiasm with her job. |
| Ruei-luen Lien |
What we can do anytime in our class is being empathetic. I agree
with the concept. When we accept others, we should be empathetic but
not discriminate or exclude them. |
| Che-hung Liu |
I think we should know the difference between them and us before
helping them. We should know how the difference was created and are
willing to accept them in order to help them. Therefore empathy is
really important. |
| Po-hsiang Hu |
Teacher Huang has been a volunteer in Australia in 2010, so she
has great experience. Knowing children pretty well, so she got this
job. She came to CCNDA because of the children’s life and school
program. I think that she works so hard to help the children because
loves children and wants them to progress. |
| Yu-ta LU |
I totally agree that we should be merciful to the disadvantaged.
Through the interview, I learned the skills and approaches for helping
and caring the disadvantaged. |
| Chia-en Chen |
Although Teacher Huang hasn’t worked as long as others, she has
already helped many children who didn’t want to come to the class. She
wants to learn together with teenagers. |
| Ping Jun- Lai |
Teacher Huang not only cares students with bad grades, but she
also cares unhappy kids. She thinks doing homework is a responsible
attitude. The afterschool help program is to help students learn what
to do, how to think, and how to do. Therefore, the afterschool help
program is the main part of the class but not the main purpose of
Teacher Huang’s companionship. |
| Chia-wei Lin |
I think Teacher Huang is great because she came to CCNDA not for
money but for giving companionship to young lives. She thinks she
should start to contribute to the society in her young age. I think if
we can, we should start to give and help others. |
| De-yang Wu |
If
I see a classmate who is different from most of us, I can try to find
the cause and give him or her encouragement. Being an afterschool
companionship study program teacher is not easy since she needs to
understand and care each student’s personality and needs. Teacher Huang
pays more attention to the quite students because she probably needs to
find their situation. |
| Bo-han Lin |
In the interview, I knew Teacher Huang came to CCNDA for the
afterschool companionship study program. She used to be a secretary
before she came to CCNDA. It’s a successful interview. I learned a lot,
and I hope I will have a chance to interview him again. |
| Teacher Yueh-chiao Cheng |
| Yi-ting Liu |
Recently, due to our society’s issues, CCNDA’s volunteers became
less and less, so they try to promote and recruit. Before the
interview, we went to watch the volunteers’ rehearsal for “Doggies’
Paradise”. When I heard Teacher Cheng’s answers, I feel it’s a pity
that they are losing volunteers. I hope the people who see our website
can be willing to help others. |
| Ruei-luen Lien |
Teacher Cheng come to teach every Friday morning. Giving creates
love in our society. There are a lot of people in need, so we should do
our best to help them. |
| Che-hung Liu |
Teacher Cheng taught us about the meaning and focus of
life. I think the most valuable words to me are “What do I have and
what others need?” They told me what I have now is enough and I have to
think whether I have what others need. If yes, ask myself if I really
need it. If I don’t need it, give it to those who need it. |
| Po-hsiang Hu |
Teacher Cheng is an experienced life education teacher. In the
interview, she told us the history of the school and life education’s
impact to the school. |
| Yu-ta LU |
Teacher Cheng is very humorous. She told us the importance of
the volunteers and their efforts in a funny way. I cannot wait for
their Christmas show. |
| Chia-en Chen |
Teacher Cheng has volunteered in CCNDA for 15 years. She said,
“Volunteering wasn’t popular yet when I started being a volunteer.
However, in the last 15 years, helping people in need has become my
interest.” We should follow her and help the disadvantaged in order to
make a better society. |
| Ping Jun- Lai |
Teacher Cheng believes that elementary school is the most
important stage for children to build live values. She uses illustrated
stories to share important values and help children build a better view
toward life. I saw Teacher Cheng lead volunteers to make props or
practice for the Christmas show. She told us, “Think what you can share
with others, be satisfied with what you have now, and experience of
giving.” |
| Chia-wei Lin |
The life education can help us solve questions in our mind and
guide us to explore the meaning of live. Let’s think why there are bad
people in our society. If we forget about revenge and try to care and
accept them, perhaps our warmth can cure the hurt inside their heart. |
| De-yang Wu |
Through stories, they teach children important values and help
them build a better view of life. The biggest difficulty is that the
number of volunteers is decreasing in recent years, so the life
education team constantly promotes the program in order to attract new
volunteers to join them. |
| Bo-han Lin |
When we interviewed Teacher Cheng, they were rehearsing the
Doggies’’ Paradise show. The actors, dancers, props makers, and
computer operators are the volunteers of the association. Their
teamwork made the show very successful. |
