万双网讯   9月13日上午，由深圳市龙华区民政局主办，龙华区零废弃促进会承办的“可持续社区营造计划”公益活动在龙华春华四季园社区举办。万科双语学校郑世英校长助理、黄雅娟副主任、蒋雪莹老师、刘贺老师、谢冬梅老师、习俊老师等带领39名1-4年级的小学生参加了本次义卖献爱心活动。

VBS News Net: Hosted by Longhua Civil Affairs Bureau and organised by Longhua District Zero Waste Promotion Association, sustainable community plan was held at Season Garden on 13th September. Assistant Principal Ms. Zheng, Deputy Head of Development Centre Ms. Huang, Ms. Jiang, Ms. Liu, Ms. Xie and Ms. Xi led 39 Primary 1 to 4 students for this garage sale.

这天阳光明媚，VBS学子早早来到了摊位点开始布置 “义卖小商店”。现场摆满了形形色色的学习用品、小玩具、图书以及亲手创作的小工艺品和书画作品……孩子们热情高涨，有的忙着布置摊位，有的大声“吆喝”叫卖，有坐着安静拉手风琴的，有靠制作精美的招牌吸引客户的，有帮“顾客”扫码付款的……

VBS students arrived early to arrange their stores. Toys, stationeries, books, handicrafts and paintings were displayed on the booth. They were passionate to arrange the booth and promote their items by playing music, making flyers, assisting in payments and hawking.

义卖商品特别受欢迎，小区好多居民自发来到义卖摊点，精挑细选自己心仪的物品，同时献上一份爱心。

Items were popular among residents - they all came over and selected a few items while sending their love.

活动结束时，同学们收到善款728元，全部捐赠给深圳市守望心智障碍者家庭关爱协会，用于帮助心智障碍儿童。虽然金额不多，但这些都是孩子们用自己的物品和辛勤劳动换来的。一些很好的物品仅卖一元、两元、三元……守望心智障碍者家庭关爱协会特地发来感谢信表示感谢。

Students overall received 728 RMB at the end of the sale. All the money would be donated to Shenzhen Association for families with persons with intellectual disabilities. Items were sold for a few RMB but it was the effort that students put mattered. The association drafted a letter of acknowledgement for the donation.

孩子们不仅在这次活动中感受到爱与感恩的重要，更在社会实践中体会到了如何进行沟通与交流。VBS致力于把学习融入生活中，积极为学生提供具有生活价值的学习，在社会实践中培养学生乐观、包容、自信、善良、勇敢的特质。

Students felt the importance of being grateful and caring and learned to communicate in such activities. VBS would strive to bring studies into real life by offering studies with significant values in life and nurturing their courage, confidence, inclusiveness, optimism and kindness in service learning activities.

“慈悲不是出于勉强，它是像甘露一样从天上降下尘世；它不但给幸福于受施的人，也同样给幸福于施与的人——莎士比亚” 。本次活动万双学子们用自身的言行去践行了何为奉献、如何感恩，也在帮助别人的同时体验到了幸福感。

The quality of mercy is not strained;

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:

-Shakespeare

Students learned to be grateful and dedicated by their own actions while having the joy of helping others.

万小双们说 ：

VBS students said：

我觉得我的胆量有点小，我想锻炼一下。

我想多走出去，提高我的表达能力。

我想将此次义卖活动的钱全部捐给有需要的小朋友，我觉得他们需要我的帮助……

I am a little bit shy so I want to gain courage

I want to express myself better by going out

I would like to donate all the money to other pupils who need this. I think they need my assistance.

刘贺老师说：“这次义卖活动你会得到帮助别人的那种快乐，你会成为积极向上， 乐观快乐，充满正能量的人！发现爱，点燃爱，传递爱！”

Ms. Liu said,' You will gain positive energy, optimism and the joy of helping someone from this event by sending the love you have in your heart.'

学生家长说：“学校开展这种义卖活动，既能锻炼孩子各种能力，又能培养孩子爱心，非常有意义”。

Parents said,' By organising such charity sales, the school will teach students how to care for others and their abilities. This is very meaningful.'

亲爱的孩子

成长路上

你们有爱有光

真好

Dear students, it is brilliant to see you learning to care for others.
