義務工作是改變世界的鑰匙?蔡廸龍 Daniel

翁嘉穎在進博會了解到上海不同時期的城市規劃及發展;展館引進了不少科技,令展覽不再沉悶。在醫療展館中,她看見未來中國醫療趨勢,了解到兩地藥品和醫療儀器上的不同。她亦認識到幾位紅十字會的志願者,以及內地醫學院的學生,互相交流學習經驗。


Little did Daniel Cai, a recent graduate from Hong Kong Baptist University know that his volunteer experience at the Shanghai Expo would bring him face-to-face with China’s remarkable development and the vibrant diversity of the world.

 

During his one-week stay in Shanghai, Daniel made friends with an international student from Panama, who shared his love for the Chinese language and culture. Their conversation made him realise the positive impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. He also had the chance to chat with merchants and discover exhibits from all corners of the globe, from exquisite carpets in Iran to aromatic spices from Egypt.

 

But what truly left a lasting impression on Daniel was the opportunity to connect with young people from diverse backgrounds. As an exhibition guide volunteer who studied Geography and Tourism, he engaged in heartfelt conversations with fellow student volunteers from different provinces in China, exchanging stories about college life and career aspirations. Sharing views and learning each other’s dialects, Daniel shattered stereotypes and erased misunderstandings, gaining a deeper appreciation for the lives of mainland China and Hong Kong.

 

Although Daniel had prior volunteering experience in Hong Kong such as the Hong Kong Young Ambassador Scheme, this was his first venture overseas. The short training time posed a challenge, but he quickly learned to adapt and think on his feet while interacting with tourists and merchants. Navigating through vast exhibition halls and adhering to tight schedules taught him the importance of resourcefulness and adaptability.

 

Beyond the practical skills he acquired, Daniel emphasised how volunteering nurtured his empathy and broadened his understanding of diverse social groups. This experience allowed him to find his purpose and now he’s determined to inspire his friends to join him in making a difference through service.

 

Let’s applaud Daniel’s dedication and commitment to creating a positive impact through volunteer work. His journey serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of volunteering. Together, let’s follow in his footsteps, embrace opportunities for change, and make a lasting difference in our communities.

義務工作是改變世界的鑰匙?

 

剛大學畢業的蔡迪龍(Daniel),早前完成為期一周的上海世博會義務工作,給予他無數啟發和體驗,眼界大開。

 

這趟旅程中,他結識了一位熱愛中國文化的巴拿馬學生,並且與不同的商界人士交流,親眼目睹來自世界各地的展品,從伊朗地毯到埃及香料,深深感受到「一帶一路」倡議所帶來的轉變及深遠影響。

 

令他最深刻的是,透過展覽導遊的義工服務,使他有機會與各個省份的青年義工建立友誼,彼此分享大學生活和職業志向,讓他對內地生活有更深入了解,打破陳舊的觀念。

 

曾參與「香港青年大使計劃」義務工作的Daniel,今次是他首度衝出香港做義工。他在短時間內掌握不少實用技能,包括溝通技巧及靈活處事的智慧,更重要的是培養了同理心,學懂關心不同的社會群體。這次經歷讓他找到人生目標,立志鼓勵身邊朋友一同踏上義工之路,透過無私奉獻的力量改變世界。

 

感謝Daniel的積極參與和奉獻精神,並告訴我們義工服務的無限影響力,為創造更美好的社會注入無窮動力。
