开展志愿服务活动
东东喜欢一个人坐在角落里抱着玩具熊“若有所思”,偶尔呢喃一句。起初,东东妈以为他是个内向的孩子,可随着年龄的增长,她发现东东越来越不喜欢与人接触,而且反应迟滞,身体发育也不太好。经检查,原来东东患有自闭症。这结果无异于晴天霹雳,让原本幸福的家庭没有了笑声。为了给东东治病,大小医院没少跑,这期间,无论是精神上还是经济上都让这个家庭饱受煎熬。东东妈经常自责,甚至说只要孩子能好,让她死都行。
“有个患自闭症孩子的妈妈快崩溃了,能不能有人帮帮她,十万火急!”这是锦州市古塔区“时间银行”志愿服务队收到的一条信息。
很快,“时间银行”将这条信息审核确定,然后开始寻找志愿者。锦州市古塔区石油小学的心理教师金冬在朋友圈中发现了这条信息。这个具有国家二级心理咨询师资格的教师加入了“时间银行”志愿服务队,并与东东一家见了面。
“东东妈,你可真漂亮,东东长得像你!”“唉,漂亮有什么用啊,我只想让孩子正常!”东东妈牵着东东的小手,才说一句话眼泪就已经哗哗地淌了下来。焦虑、无奈、无助,是东东妈给金冬留下的第一印象。
金冬知道,想让东东妈快乐起来,只有一个方法,那就是让东东早日好起来。但金冬也清楚,自闭症的治疗是一个漫长的过程,而且在这漫长的治疗中,需要医生、心理专家、幼教老师、相关康复治疗师、家长等多方面人员的很好配合。需要金冬马上做的,就是与东东妈一起多陪伴东东,这样有利于东东康复,为此,金冬制订了一个帮助东东一家的计划。
“东东妈,看得出来,东东很依赖你,也很信任你,我觉得你很伟大,对东东这么不离不弃的。还有东东爸,他眼中全是你们母子俩。听说这几年家里家外地奔波,一句怨言都没有,真挺汉子的!这种爱,真的不多啊!”“是啊!孩儿他爸人好,啥事都他担了。他总说,东东有个好妈妈,他有了我这样一个媳妇,要不这家就完了。我也知道他是怕我挺不下去,才这么做的,但我知道他心里挺苦的。”谈话中,金冬在为东东妈进行着心理建设。
“我们认识三个月了,我感觉东东有了变化。”听说东东有变化,东东妈眼睛都亮了。“初次来你们家,东东一眼都没有看过我,可是经过这三个月我陪他玩,你不觉得他对我的存在,也开始关注了么,这就证明他在进步啊!”“是啊,我也觉得东东对你有好感,有时还嘀咕一句‘金阿姨’!”说到这,东东妈脸上露出了少有的笑容。
“东东,昨天金阿姨搭积木的时候怎么也搭不高,你能不能帮帮金阿姨呀?”金冬坐在东东身边,柔声细语地引导他。东东没有抬头,但却将积木一块一块地垒了起来。“原来这样就能搭高啊,还是东东厉害。”东东听到夸奖,显得有点儿兴奋,继续搭建着积木。
金冬和东东父母都看到,孩子已经有了“进步”。他们仍在努力……
在“时间银行”志愿服务队里,有一个患尿毒症的女孩,她善良、质朴,尽管病魔侵蚀着身体,但乐观的生活态度使微笑洋溢在她的脸庞。她叫小佳。小佳是在一次得到“时间银行”志愿者的帮助后才加入这支队伍的。加入不久,小佳便来到“时间银行”,希望进行“存储”。经“时间银行”联系,一位患有眼疾的张阿姨成为小佳的服务对象。打那天起,张阿姨想买东西的时候,小佳就挽着张阿姨的手去超市购物;当张阿姨想了解什么的时候,小佳就帮她找材料。张阿姨说,小佳就是她的“眼睛”。
翻开“时间银行”的管理日志,记者看到,一项项服务虽小,但却实实在在解决了大家的燃眉之急。
老孟家的狗急需有人看管一天,到“时间银行”登记后,工作人员立刻搜索出有6个人可以提供此项志愿服务。电话联系后确定了人选,老孟满意而归。
低保户朱师傅是位患有精神疾病的残疾人,在他病危之际,社区党员张传明、居民米冬梅、白素珍等日夜守候在他的病榻前,直至朱师傅去世。
盲人张德新的名字在管理日志中出现频率较高。凌飞、张美帮他包饺子,张传明帮他家疏通下水道……
张美平时以做针线活为生,每逢遇到残疾人客户,她都免费服务,几年来她为困难群体节省生活费几千元,受到邻里一致好评。
这一件件小事,诠释了远亲不如近邻的真谛;这一份份爱心,凝聚了平民百姓的真情实感。
付出不图回报,但付出可以享受回报,这是“时间银行”志愿者们的坚守。
A Snapshot of “Time Bank” Volunteering Service in Guta District, Jinzhou
“Time Bank” Volunteering Service Team is a volunteer organization in Guta District, Jinzhou. Their management memo shows us that though seemingly insignificant, their services have solved people’s urgent needs.
Mr. Meng, a senior citizen, registered in“Time Bank” that a temporary host for his dog was urgently needed for one day. The staff in the bank immediately selected out six candidates, contacted them by telephone and picked one for him. Mr. Meng felt satisfied with the service.
Mr. Zhu could receive the minimum living guaranteeing subsidy of the government for he was a disabled person suffering from a mental disease. On the occasion when he was seriously stricken by illness and was dying, Zhang Chuanming, a Chinese communist party member, and neighbours such as Mi Dongmei, Bai Suzhen, had been looking after him in shifts day and night, until his death.
The name—Zhang Dexin, a blind man—could be frequently seen in the memo. Ling Fei and Zhang Mei made dumplings for him and Zhang Chuanming helped him to clear the sewer. Helps like the above mentioned are common in his life.
Zhang Mei, who makes a living by sewing work, always provides free service to the disabled clients, having saved several thousand RMB yuan for the economically disadvantaged group in recent years. Many neighbors praised her for her good deeds.
The deeds of seemingly insignificance interprets an old saying in Chinese that“A neighbor that is near is better than a brother far off”. The benevolence people in the neighborhood have offered depicts the true love of ordinary people.
It is a belief of the volunteers that “what is paid does not aim at a reward but could joy a reward”.
