RCEF的小额基金项目为民间机构和公民发起的农村支教项目提供小额资助。以下是我们的资助对象之一“贵州阳光志愿者之家”在苗族和布依族村庄里的支教经历

在整个运作的过程中，有很多感人的故事令我们记忆犹新。在总结评估会议上，这样的一些事情引起了大家的关注:

1. 在“人生之旅”这一个环节，有学生因为对参与规则理解的失误急得哭了，而后在志愿者的引导下，他认识到了自己的错误，在整个活动中取得了最好的成绩。晚上我们开完会议之后，他带着一帮孩子每个人手里捧着一个橘灯来到我们住的地方，恭敬地送给我们每个人一个橘灯。我们问到他今天为什么哭泣。他给我们的答案是：通过今天的活动，我真的懂了沟通的重要。
2. 当团队经费严重不足的时候，所有队员每人拿出自己准备回家过年的钱，共渡难关。在当时，没有电，无法与外界取得联系，大家只得同舟共济共渡难关了。
3. 当团队成员闹矛盾的那个晚上，会议主持人在工作会议结束之后发动大家每个人都说出自己的心里话，每个人都说得热泪盈框。那份难得的纯真之情，实在令我们终身难忘。
4. 由于今年的项目遭遇特大凝冻灾害，在我们返程的途中，山高路滑，又下着雨雪，团队在弹尽粮绝的情况下作出返程的决定，实在显得有点悲壮。但在我们徒步行进的六个多小时的征途上，大家相互鼓励，相互帮助。在饥寒交迫的间隙，团队中的男生为了不让女生们冻着，拨开大雪找来材火，供大家在休息的时候取暖。一路上送行的学生们的泪眼、路边的小火堆、让我们摔到无数次的泥淋路、看到如救命稻草般的汽车那一刻的欢喜、九对一但最终谈判输了的车票价格谈判、令人心胆俱裂的颠簸，所有这些给我们每个人都留下了永恒的记忆。

Rural Education Innovation Grants: News from the Guizhou Sunshine volunteers

RCEF’s Innovation Grants Program provides grants for NGO and citizen-led rural education programs. Below are the experiences of one of our partners, the “Guizhou Sunshine volunteer home” which works with Miao and Buyi peoples.

During the course of the program, there were many touching stories which will stay with us for a long time. Several of these came up at the final evaluation meeting and grasped everyone’s attention:

1. In the “Path of Life” section, one student became upset and cried because he had misunderstood the rules. Afterwards, with a volunteer’s help, he managed to recognize his mistake and in the end got the top grade for the whole activity. When we had finished our meeting that evening, he brought over a group of children each carrying an orange lamp, then very respectfully gave one to each of us. We asked him why he had cried earlier on, and he answered: “Today’s activity really taught me the importance of communication.”

2. When the group’s finances came into severe difficulties, every member gave the money they had saved to travel home for Chinese New Year. At that time, the electricity was out too so there was no way to contact people in the outside world. Everyone really had to “tong zhou gong ji“, tide the storm together.

3. One evening there was some conflict among the group’s members. Once the work meeting was over, the meeting’s chair made every person say what was on their mind. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. None of us will forget the sincerity of that occasion.

4. This year the program came up against some terrible freezing weather: on the way back, the mountain road was very slippery and it rained and snowed constantly. When the group ran out of supplies and had to make the decision to turn back, the situation looked pretty dire. But for the six hours plus that we were trekking, everyone supported and helped each other. When everyone was cold and hungry, the group’s male students made sure the girls didn’t freeze by digging firewood out of the snow and keeping us all warm while we took a break. The tears of the students who saw us off; the little fires by the roadside; the muddy paths that we slipped on countless times; the joy at seeing the life-saving bus; finally losing the discussion over the ticket-price and the bumps which frightened everyone out of their wits… all these experiences and more will remain with each of us for the rest of our lives.
