I went to East Africa this past summer for several weeks doing community development work in two villages, one in Kenya and one in Ethiopia. I had just joined staff with a humanitarian non-governmental organization (NGO) and so I went on this trip to get an idea of the kind of project I would be taking Canadians on in the near future.
In Kenya, we built a dormitory for teachers who walked 4 hours a week to work and worked on implementing a new sprinkler system for the farm in the village. In Ethiopia, we built a school in a Somali village.
It was a life-impacting trip, but I didn’t get any explosive, life-altering moments.

以基督為中心的慈善
原文:H. Lo | 中譯:趙泰和
去年夏天我到非洲東部的兩個村莊裡做了幾個星期的社區發展工作,一個村莊在肯尼亞,另一個在埃塞俄比亞。我當時剛加入一個非政府的人道主義組織(non-governmental organization 或 NGO),這次出行正好讓我瞭解以後帶其它加拿大人去應該開展甚麼樣項目。
在肯尼亞,我們蓋了一間宿舍,給那些一星期須要走四個小時去上班的當地老師們住。我們還幫助村莊裡的農場安裝新的灌溉系統。在埃塞俄比亞,我們在一個索馬裡族人的村子裡建了一所學校。
那是一次影響一生的旅行,但我沒經歷到甚麼驚天動地、改變生命的時刻。
