In this lecture, there was a video clip about the fact that many people die every day owing to hunger and we saw a family eating the leftover collected from the rubbish bin of a fast food restaurant. This clip really makes me think how lucky and felicitous I am. I am healthy, I have enough food and clothes, and ... I have more than enough. I know I can’t help everybody in the world in this situation but I can try to do my best – to live my life gratefully and meaningfully and to help others whenever I can. That’s why I have participated in the visit of orphanage organized by HCSA to try to bring happiness and hope to the orphans. Last weekend, I attended a workshop about this.
In the workshop, we knew more things like the characters of children and teens, their behaviours and their personality. Even though we are still somehow teens and we have been children, the children and teens nowadays are subtly different from what we have been. The children now may be more media-savvy, more connected to virtual world, more daring but less communicative. This workshop can make us more prepared for the visit in 20 March.
Furthermore, we also played different kinds of games and designed what kinds of games were suitable for the children. At first, I think it is easy as the children only want fun and any game is appropriate. After this workshop, I know that it is not that easy. We need to think like children and experience the game like children; in other words, we need to be in the children’s perspective. Some games may be too complicated for them as their analytical skill is limited; some games may be too boring for them as they like to move around; some games may be too long for them as they can’t concentrate at a thing for a long time.
Catch you up later and I am looking forward to the visit.
