喧嘩的城空白的心
我自稱是尼泊爾的流浪志工，
因為拿的是觀光簽證，不能工作，每年最多只能待五個月﹔
因為不屬於任何一個特定組織，必須自理生計﹔
因為下一步要做什麼，不是很清楚，只能量力而為，
因為行李一直放在一大一小的旅行袋中，
需要入鄉上山時，近程帶小包，遠程帶大包。
‘志工’，是一個職業別嗎？
若是受雇於公益組織或基金會，對有給薪的社會工作者，是員工﹔
若是對任何組織提供免費的勞務，有時會補貼車馬費或誤餐費，是義工 ﹔
若是心中發起助人的動機，並化為自發性行動，
願出錢出力以達到利人目標，是志工。
這是我十年來參予不同公益活動後的想法。
當朋友知道我常駐尼泊爾做志工時，既鼓勵又羨慕﹔
鼓勵我在異鄉要自立自強，羨慕我有錢有閒可以隨心所欲。
習慣到處旅行的我，已經可以就地築巢，把異鄉變為故鄉﹔
物慾不強生活簡單的我，賺錢就是要拿來花的，少賺就少花吧
當網友呼應這也是她們想做的事，可是不知如何開始，
我總是說，這是一個心態問題，
當你準備好，就會知道要怎麼做﹔
如果想去做，
不用遠行，不用流浪，每個人有適合的方式灌溉自己的心靈。

何必把自己裝的這麽堅強
商周10/9上市「思考的原點」為標題的本期，用了一個小篇幅說了JOHN WOOD的故事，身為教學者的我十分感動，也覺得他的臉讓我很有似曾相似的感覺，他在尼泊爾看到了十分之七的孩子，將會因缺乏書籍與教育，成為文盲，這位微軟中國總監，因為這一場喜馬拉雅之旅，生命有了很大的轉折。他開始為孩子蓋圖書館、募款，等等等....以企業化經營來經營慈善事業，並離開了人人稱羨的工作。並且，也與論及婚嫁的女友分手了。他說，這是一種交換，不是失去。
以下是times的報導：
John Wood is in too much of a hurry to revel in the splendor of a fall morning in San Francisco. The 38-year-old Microsoft alumnus (he was the company's director of business development for China before he left) is driving to work at his organization's new headquarters in the Presidio. Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge are visible in the distance, but Wood, like any impatient founder, is more concerned with the emails he has to answer, the meetings he has to arrange, the presentations he has to make.
And he's concerned with one more thing: the fact that more than 850 million people around the world can't read. Wood is the founder of Room to Read, a nonprofit group that builds schools and libraries for children in Asia. "There are nearly 1 billion illiterate people in the world," says Wood. "My goal is to help 10 million children achieve literacy by 2010."
Without question, he has a long way to go. But it's hard to argue with the results so far. In just three years, Room to Read has established 300 school libraries, built 25 schools, donated more than 140,000 books, set up 11 computer rooms, and awarded 100 scholarships to fund the education of young girls. Most of this work has taken place in Nepal, but Room to Read is also building schools and libraries in Vietnam, and there are plans to expand into Cambodia and India. As Wood speaks, a cargo ship steams from San Francisco to Ho Chi Minh City, carrying more than 30,000 books such as Clifford the Big Red Dog, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and Math in Action. In a few weeks, Nguyen Hoai Nam, Room to Read's program director for Vietnam, will meet the ship and, in partnership with the city's Department of Education and Training, deliver books to schools.
Still, 10 million children? Wood is unfazed. Achieving that goal means doubling the number of kids his organization reaches every year for the next eight years. "Why is that not possible?" he asks. "Microsoft doubled every year in its early days. Cisco more than doubled every year. I worked in a lot of different organizations at Microsoft that doubled year to year, and none of us thought it was incredible."
As John Wood is starting his day, more than halfway around the world, Bala Krishna Shrestha is finishing his -- and putting Wood's work to good use. Shrestha is headmaster of Pashupati Kanya High School, a 600-student, all-girls school in a bustling mountain village called Charikot in northeastern Nepal. The school is on a long slope of land, in the lap of one of the highest mountains in the Himalayas, next to an army camp and surrounded by a dense forest.
Today, like many other school days during the past year, a handful of students arrive a good half hour before school starts at 10 AM. "They come for the books," says Shrestha, whose teaching career spans more than half of his life. "There is no public library. Our little room of books is the only place where the students can go to widen their knowledge. They are very curious, and they like the colorful pictures in the books. They have never seen anything like this."
Man on a (New) Mission
This is the time of year when successful executives pause long enough to question the meaning of their success. If I'm doing so well, why aren't I happier? If I've achieved so much, why don't I feel a greater sense of satisfaction? A few weeks after the holidays, though, the questions begin to fade, replaced by more businesslike concerns. Will our new product ship on time? Why is our stock underperforming?
John Wood asked himself the big questions and then answered them with action. He spent most of the 1990s at Microsoft. It was the era when the company sealed its dominance and began minting millionaires (more than 7,000 at last count) almost as fast as it shipped software. Wood was director of marketing for Microsoft Australia, where he oversaw the launch of Windows 98 and planned for a visit by Bill Gates to the World Economic Forum in Melbourne. Wood had 70 people reporting to him and was, by all accounts, at the top of his game. "I had achieved a certain definition of success," Wood says. "But I wasn't going to stick around to see if I could continue to run up the score on stock options."
Wood was 34 and single enough to be able to travel the world for an indefinite period of time. But he didn't take a leave of absence; he quit. "Microsoft wanted to give me a three-month sabbatical, but I knew that three months would not be enough time," he explains. "If you want to figure out your path in life, you can't have an end date on the exploration."
Wood set off on a whirlwind backpacking trip and began searching for the "second act" of his adult life. He didn't expect to find it so quickly. Two days into an 18-day trek along the popular Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, he struck up a conversation with a schoolteacher and was invited to visit a local school in a village that was a two-day walk from the nearest road. He was shocked by what he saw. "They gave me a tour of the 'library,' and it was just this big empty room," he recalls. "I looked around and didn't see any books, and I said, without being obnoxious, 'This is a great library, but where exactly are the books?' "
It turns out that the books -- all 20 or so of them, castoffs from backpackers -- were locked up in a cabinet. "The school was worried that the kids would damage them. The irony of that never escaped me."
At the urging of the school, Wood left that day with a homework assignment: Get more books. Back in Kathmandu, he sent an email to 100 or so friends and colleagues. He described his experience and asked them to ship books to his parents' home in Colorado. Within a month, more than 3,000 books had arrived (Wood's father had to move his car out of the garage to make room). "I wish I had saved that original email," Wood says wistfully, "because it turned out to be a seminal moment in my life. When I hit the 'send' button on that message, I put into play something that ended up being so much bigger than I ever thought it would be."
But Wood didn't reinvent himself immediately. Shortly after returning from his trek, he received an offer he couldn't refuse and rejoined Microsoft, this time in China. He continued his work in Nepal, expanding beyond books to building schools. Then, in the summer of 1999, he made his third trip to Nepal. And at the first of two school-opening ceremonies there, he realized that it was time to turn his extracurricular activities into a full-time pursuit. "I loved my job," Wood says. "I thought Microsoft was a great company, and I loved working there. But seeing those new schools and seeing the pride of the villagers -- it was one of the most amazing moments in my life."
He returned home and left Microsoft for good.
All Heart, All Business
At one level, a day for John Wood at Room to Read is a lot like a day at Microsoft. He works hard: 12-hour days and weekends at the office are not uncommon. His schedule is packed with speaking engagements and meetings. He spends several hours a day on email.
At another level, Wood's world looks very different. His desk is a beat-up banquet table. His wall art is a map of Vietnam with pins -- blue for schools, yellow for language labs, green for computer labs -- showing where Room to Read has made its mark. His notepad is a red rice-paper journal that he bought at a women's cooperative in Kathmandu.
This blend of the hard-charging world of Microsoft and the gentler work of social change runs throughout Room to Read. For example, Wood is a fanatic about minimizing costs. Until this year, overhead was less than 5% of total donations. Even now, as Room to Read ramps up for growth, overhead will account for less than 10% of total donations.
Amazingly, despite Wood's big plans and impressive results, the group's paid headquarters staff is exactly one: Erin Keown, who had co-led efforts to build a school while based in Unilever's office in Ho Chi Minh City. Keown, who moved to San Francisco as part of the dotcom wave, is the organization's executive director. (As founder and president, Wood collects no salary.) Keown is responsible for grant writing and fund-raising efforts, overseeing volunteers, and monitoring how schools and libraries get used once they have been built. "We want to go back to schools in six months and see handprints all over the books," she says.
There's another critical part of the Room to Read formula: maintaining high expectations for the beneficiaries. It takes $5,000 in outside contributions to build a school in Nepal -- surprisingly little for a successful American executive but an unimaginable fortune for a typical villager in Nepal, who survives on less than $1 a day. But Room to Read "challenges" villages to pay for half of the project before it will begin work. The village has to raise money from its residents or contribute labor and building materials. In many cases, the process of meeting the "challenge grant" takes longer than the process of building the school. But Room to Read believes that it's worth the wait. "It's about ownership," says Keown. "The challenge grants are as much about creating an educational infrastructure as they are about initiating social change."
Wood has high expectations of his beneficiaries, but he encourages donors to maintain high expectations of him. His value proposition is simple: He presents the problem, the solution, and a price tag -- and tracks results. Donate $5,000, and you are guaranteed that a school will be built. Better still, the school will have a dedication plaque that bears your name or whatever name you choose. And you'll receive (via email) reports and digital photos that update you on construction, capture the dedication ceremony, and document how the children are doing. "We believe that if somebody gives us money, he is owed progress reports," says Wood. "He deserves to know how his money is being spent."
There's a side benefit too. Donors who are excited about the impact of their money pass along the emails to friends, colleagues, and family. Their updates become a form of viral marketing for Room to Read. Wood himself composes a monthly email that goes out to more than 2,000 donors, volunteers, and supporters. They are partly letters from the road, partly reports on the organization. "Those emails inevitably lead to new volunteers and even to new donors," Wood says. "They become an immediate feedback loop. We don't send out paper reports, in part because of the expense, but also because it discourages viral marketing."
Wood's next report will be in November from Nepal, after he completes his first-ever trek with donors. "If you send someone an email with the subject line, 'Greetings from Kathmandu,' they're likely to read it," he quips.
So is Wood ready for a break from the dizzying pace of life after Microsoft? Not exactly. "We've helped 100,000 kids gain access to books so far," he says. "That is one one-hundredth of 1% of the illiterate people on this earth. So congratulations. Get your ass back to work."

MOMO姐說的不賴~
夢想和理想的施行說穿了就是"心態問題"
準備的差不多了，就可以出發了。
我自稱是尼泊爾的流浪志工，
因為拿的是觀光簽證，不能工作，每年最多只能待五個月﹔
因為不屬於任何一個特定組織，必須自理生計﹔
因為下一步要做什麼，不是很清楚，只能量力而為，
因為行李一直放在一大一小的旅行袋中，
需要入鄉上山時，近程帶小包，遠程帶大包。
‘志工’，是一個職業別嗎？
若是受雇於公益組織或基金會，對有給薪的社會工作者，是員工﹔
若是對任何組織提供免費的勞務，有時會補貼車馬費或誤餐費，是義工 ﹔
若是心中發起助人的動機，並化為自發性行動，
願出錢出力以達到利人目標，是志工。
這是我十年來參予不同公益活動後的想法。
當朋友知道我常駐尼泊爾做志工時，既鼓勵又羨慕﹔
鼓勵我在異鄉要自立自強，羨慕我有錢有閒可以隨心所欲。
習慣到處旅行的我，已經可以就地築巢，把異鄉變為故鄉﹔
物慾不強生活簡單的我，賺錢就是要拿來花的，少賺就少花吧

幾年前我有個朋友應徵國際合作發展基金會的志工~可是後來沒有入選~後來這幾年看到國際合作發展基金會請林志玲拉還有吳淡如等人代言~就覺得蠻奇怪的~怎麼不給人家一個機會ㄋ~可能在面談的時候~沒有通過吧~(朋友是應徵到泰國和印尼教中文~)可是我覺得有心不是最重要的嘛~難怪很多人會很羨慕MOMO~因為並不是每個人都可以有這個機會吧~

據我知, 參加國合會的志工是有補助部份旅費, 代表的是官方, 拿納稅人的錢出國雖然是去做志工, 但也仍是要挑一下的, 並不是誰去都可以.... 有心但不一定適合出國服務的人(專長不適用之類的) , 可以把心留在台灣 、留在對身邊週遭的人服務啊~
MOMO說的是全額自費的志願服務工作吧? 這個只要你有經濟能力, 別人絕對很歡迎的 :-)

Nana李雅君 尼泊爾化身天使

高雄市補習班美語老師李雅君，兩年前隻身到尼泊爾孤兒院當志工，還透過網路募集書、衣服和文具分送當地貧困學童，並成立了小型圖書室，朋友和部分企業界人士被她的傻勁感動，跟著出錢出力，一起傳播愛心。
卅六歲李雅君，早年常利用空閒單槍匹馬到各國旅行，對尼泊爾這個神秘國度一直很好奇，兩年前原本要和友人一起到尼泊爾，沒想到對方因故未能成行，但她仍決定單飛。
「天啊！尼泊爾好像剛被炸彈炸過，滿地垃圾、又破又髒」，李雅君說，出發前，她滿腦子都是尼泊爾落後的景象，親眼目睹後「結果更慘」，「不過，至少比非洲還好一點！」她只好這樣自我安慰。
英文名字叫「Nana」的李雅君剛開始在加德滿都一家孤兒院教兩百多名藏童英語、中文，後來在當地藏胞引導下深入窮鄉僻壤。
由於沒錢、沒資源，她突發奇想在網路上發動募書、衣服和文具，一度被誤會和旅行社搶生意，但她仍咬緊牙根撐下去。
「到尼泊爾後，才知道窮人的滋味！」她說，尼泊爾孤兒院童，三餐常白米飯配豆湯，鄉下孩子常不知下一餐在那裡、沒衣服穿、沒書可看，孩子們常須打零工幫忙家計，每月工資約新台幣兩百五十元。
李雅君說，當地許多村落小學付不出教師薪水，她花光了積蓄，去年轉向親友募款，每人每月捐款五百元不等，她即得以成立「孤兒暨無助兒童收容所」，幫助廿多名孤兒上學、買書。
其中台北市中崙高中教師劉旭明夫妻，一度帶回尼泊爾產品義賣替她募款，募到新台幣九萬元，幫助當地小學負擔一名教師三年的薪水；她高興了好幾天。
由於不斷有網友詢問她在尼泊爾究竟做什麼？她架設網路部落格「Nana的尼泊爾世界」，讓更多人了解及幫助尼泊爾。李雅君說，只要想到小朋友不必淪為文盲，「就越做越高興」。
國立體院休閒產業經營所教授謝智謀和十七名研究生被她感動，決定四月赴尼泊爾擔任十九天的服務志工，希望喚起國人對邊陲貧童的關懷。

李雅君一趟單飛 購物狂→志工
【聯合報／記者王瑞伶 曾增勳╱連線報導】 2007.02.03 04:03 am
「她以前是購物狂，整天在百貨公司閒逛；一趟單飛之旅去了尼泊爾，學會隨遇而安，值得！」李雅君的姊姊李雅純直誇讚妹妹、很驕傲。不過，李雅君至今不敢跟媽媽說她在尼泊爾當志工。
李雅純說，李雅君從小特立獨行，讀五專時半工半讀自籌學費，自己在外租屋養自己；畢業後擔任補習班美語老師，常出國旅遊，愛逛街、上網購物。三年前突然辭職說要去尼泊爾，她不捨但不想阻擋，「妹妹很聰明，清楚要過什麼生活、走什麼路！」
李雅君說，出國前家人只有二姊支持，因此至今不敢跟媽媽說她在尼泊爾當志工。出國後，透過伊媚兒跟二姊聯絡，很少打電話給其他家人，為了不讓媽媽起疑，每月照常從戶頭轉錢給媽媽，「媽媽會怕我嫁不出去，老了以後沒人養…」。
李雅君說，去尼泊爾前生活無虞，卻若有所失，「每天為錢工作，錢進了，卻沒有『前』進的動力！」才毅然放棄當下一切，一個人飛往陌生國度。
「獨自在異鄉，不會寂寞、想家嗎？」李雅君經常面對藏友和網友關切，她笑說，自己是無業遊民，生活悠哉、充實，「寂寞？沒想過，偶爾心情沮喪，就找人請喝咖啡，買瓶最愛的紅酒，興致就來了！」網友則讚許她，讓當地人民知道台灣人的愛心。

是夢就會醒
NaNa 最近也有上來客棧
https://www.backpackers.com.tw/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=70406
剛才看到她的blog寫到, 台灣家裡還有物資無法運過去尼泊爾
如果近期要去玩的人幫忙帶個10kg也是很不錯的義舉
就叫多背10kg活動
這個活動, 真的不錯呀! 給Lola 加分 ..
看到李小姐長的好秀氣 . 願意深入偏遠落後的尼泊爾 , 犧牲奉獻她的青春,
真的是太偉大了, 我明年會去印度, 如可能也想去尼泊爾, 看能不能幫上忙...

後來無人像你
如果旅行也能帶些物資過去，也是ㄧ件善舉，我們收集了許多衣服，但目前無法回尼泊爾，如果有人住高雄，在近期內會到尼泊爾遊玩，也願意帶些物資過去，請與我聯繫，謝謝。
