Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite c ountries. Since
I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For
a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering would be a good and fun way to do so.
I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.
Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time passed by I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities（责任）.
Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believe we were helping them build up their confidence.
For the children who need more help, The Education Program （TEP）will collect donations (捐赠) from the public to help them.
As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children’s happy faces I had a great sense of pleasure.
