[Individual Volunteers from our Light On Your Path Journey]
From the Trip in December 2016
Hin-Sing Yuen, Hong Kong
My past journeys were mainly about eating, drinking and fun-seeking, but this journey gave me a chance to observe and experience the authentic local living. This Journey has inspired my thoughts about myself and relationship among people.
When it comes to voluntary service, the phrase 'to help people' pops up in many people's mind. 'To help people' is a very subjective concept, implying a sense of control from above – 'I am more powerful than you, so I sacrifice my power to make you more similar to me.' Though tt seems ridiculous, I tried to avoid this sort of thinking during my trip.
As a music lover, I learned some folk songs and dances from the homestay mother and her kids, and then I used what I havd learned to play with kids in the school at Tulibesi. I opened the channel for interaction through music, and strengthened the understanding and connection between myself and the local, from a horizontal (as opposed to vertical) perspective. I did not intend to compare whether it is better living in Hong Kong or in the mountain areas in Nepal, but to understand the actual condition and thought of the locals, while re-evaluating the situation in Hong Kong, which would not be as clear if I were just staying in Hong Kong.
When you are connected to the world and you are improving, the world will also be improved consequently, and vice-versa. |
