Club Day Debrief -- Lu Gan

 

This club day was very interesting and new to me, let me feel the rich club organization of the University of Otago. And I felt that I can do some successful networking with them. I visited some of the clubs that day, and I really found something I interested in, such as badminton, Latin dance and tramping club. I spent some time talked with them. But my plan was to find something not only funny but also show my value. And I kept looking for until I noticed a club named: Unicef for every child. I've always been concerned about children's issues. I've been part of a program in China that supports out-of-school girls for 15 years. Because it was a big problem in China 20 years ago. So I started to talk with them. First of all, I introduced myself and what my experience about children issue especially girls. I supported two out-of-school girls in China to finish their college. I want to focus on helping children around the world solve their plight. And then I asked about what they have done for recently years, and got to know who they needed. And I showed them my values and how I eager to work with this meaningful work. they asked if I want join them, and I said yes. Since time was limited, I sign up after meeting them, and read more information about this organization online. I will join the event in the organization in the future.

What I wish I had know about Kiwi Culture -- Fumiya Nakagawa

In my experience traffic rules in here were the biggest gap for me and it still surprises me a lot. I think it is because we have fundamentally different ideas about the rules, such as priority to pedestrians. It was the first thing I felt difference between Japan and New Zealand when I arrived in this country. I didn`t know the culture here and tried to cross the street just like I did in Japan therefore, I was very surprised that they didn’t stop at all. However, all drivers stop at pedestrians crossing so, I was astonished their good manner unlike Japan.

Boyan Slat & The Ocean Cleanup -- Ruby Lu

While diving in the ocean, slat discovered that there was more trash in the ocean than fish, and that's when he felt he needed to help clean up the ocean. He also gave a ted talk to bring attention to this issue. He even dropped out of college to complete the project, called the Ocean Cleanup. But in fact, only a small part of the garbage collected by boats and nets, most of the garbage is at the bottom of the sea. So in response, their team started a river cleanup program. Because most rubbish flows from rivers into the sea. This prevents new garbage from flowing into the sea. In my point of view, he is brave and does what he wants, even though he has experienced setbacks, he just works harder to complete the goal and studies new methods. But cleaning up the ocean is still a very difficult problem, because it is very difficult to stop the problem at the source, to stop people from releasing waste, so we have to do it ourselves to reduce the waste.

Volunteering - Paz

I think that volunteering can enrich peoples live in different ways. Volunteering is a very good way for help people with real and biggest problem such as, lack of basic necessities, like food, health, education or a roof.  So, volunteering, makes you see you life in a different way, you realize that your problem are not as big as you thought it and you start to live a more relax and happy life. You face yours problems with a different attitude.  And at the same time you are helping people that really need it, so is a win - win.  Also, it may increase your self - confident and get out of your confort zone. In this way, I think people that do volunteering star to appreciate more theirs live and little things or actions that happens in it.  However, I think that volunteering is not for everyone.. I would like to do a volunteering some day.. I think would like to do something that involves animals life or health care.
