环保大联谊 Gathering of Recycling Volunteers

每一位到过慈济环保点的大德、会员、志工,都受邀请参加环保大联谊。不参加不知道,原来我们的环保志工是如此的多。我准时到静思堂,可是佛堂已经坐满了,只好坐在一楼文化厅。后来大德不断的涌入,志工都移到四楼夹层了。

Everybody who had helped out at our recycling centers is invited to attend today's gathering, volunteers or members or just the general public. It was an interesting gathering. I did not realize that we have such a large group of recycling volunteers. I was just on time, but the main hall was already filled up. Hence I moved to the side hall. After a while, all Tzu Chi volunteers are asked to move to the 4th floor mezzanine level to allow the general public to sit at the side hall. Even at the mezzanine level, volunteers kept streaming in, implying that the flow of general public never stops.


联谊以手语剧“温暖满人间”开场。这首歌我在广惠肇留医院演过无数遍了,可是还是发现国香师姑们表演的好美。自己的表演真的是没得比。

The event started with our sign language performance. The show "warmth around the world" was performed. I was not paying much attention since this song is often played at Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital. But I was surprised at how beautiful the performance was. Our performance at the hospital was nothing compared to them.

今天的联谊也是要向环保志工致谢。我们有一场奉茶仪式,慈济委员和慈诚们为环保志工奉上一杯粗茶以表谢意。

Today gathering is also a form of appreciation for your recycling volunteers. Hence, we had a tea ceremony where Tzu Chi volunteers offered a humble cup of tea to all our recycling volunteers as a simple form of appreciation.


接着是环保志工们的分享。真的很惭愧,因为大多都听过了所以觉得有点枯燥。好在国香师姑出现,我帮师姑数一数四楼夹层有多少位志工、大德和慈青。

This is followed by sharing session of our volunteers regarding recycling and waste reduction in Singapore. Shamefully, I found it to be a bit dry although I got most of the shared information down. Luckily, Guo Xiang SG appeared and I helped her by counting the numbers of Tzu Chi volunteers, general public and Tzu Ching in the mezzanine.

自从我回到新加坡分会,参加三合一的活动多,做环保的时间少。好在自己开始在家里做环保,并发现丢弃的垃圾,几乎都可以环保。

Since I returned to Singapore, my involvement in recycling was minimal since I was busy with 3-in-1 media activities. The other consolidation was that I started recycling back home and found that just at home, almost every rubbish can be recycled.

环保,我知道的很多,做的很少,需要多精进。

I need to contribute more.
