這集一樣是跟喜願協會合作,上次是我分享我小時候許願去東京迪士尼的故事,
This episode is another collaboration with Make-A-Wish Taiwan. Last time, I shared the story of my childhood wish to visit Tokyo Disneyland .
這次換我訪問喜願協會志工 Wendy 她的志工心路歷程 :)
This time, I’m interviewing a volunteer about her journey as a Make-A-Wish volunteer :)
話題主要關於當志工、醫院、生病、去世、圓夢。
We talk mostly about volunteering, hospitals, illness, loss (death), and making wishes come true.
🎧 聽這集 Listen this episode here
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,225
哈囉，大家好，我是林老師。記不記得上一集我跟喜願志工Wendy聊當年喜願協會
Hello, everyone, I'm Teacher Lin. Remember last episode, when I talked with Make-a-Wish volunteer Wendy about how Make-a-Wish Taiwan
2
00:00:12,225 --> 00:00:18,440
幫我完成夢想的事。我去東京迪士尼嘛？對不對？
helped make my dream come true back then? I went to Tokyo Disney, right?
3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:29,400
所以其實長大的我就了解到，哇？我的一個夢想原來要靠這麼多的人的力量來完成
So as I grew up, I came to realize, wow, that one of my dreams took the efforts of so many people to come true.
4
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:38,400
所以我真的就很感謝，然後也很感謝你們聽上一集跟這一集
So I'm truly grateful, and I'm also grateful that you listened to the last episode and this one.
5
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:48,200
這次換我要訪問Wendy 那現在喜願協會也在招募志工喔
This time, I'm interviewing Wendy. And Make-a-Wish Taiwan is recruiting volunteers right now, too.
6
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:55,972
外國志工也OK 所以如果你想要幫生病的小朋友完成夢想
International volunteers are welcome, too! So if you want to help sick children make their dreams come true,
7
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:58,800
都歡迎加入喜願志工
you're all welcome to join as a Make-a-Wish volunteer.
8
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:50,800
那這次我們來聽Wendy她當志工的心得 一開始應該就是幫一個朋友圓了一個夢 然後她還是離開了
Now let's hear about Wendy's experience as a volunteer. I think it started when I helped a friend fulfill a dream, and then she passed away anyway.
9
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:58,200
那她是已經是大人了嘛 那在知道她生病的這一段期間
She was already an adult. And during the time I knew she was sick,
10
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,200
我都會去醫院看她。然後看她 後來知道說她很想做一件事情
I would go visit her at the hospital. And then I learned there was something she really wanted to do.
11
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:11,200
因為她那時候才二十幾歲的一個小女孩。對，然後我就幫她完成了這件事
She was just a girl in her twenties then. Yeah, and so I helped her get it done.
12
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,200
因為其他人 他的男朋友是我的羽毛球教練，他也不知道怎麼辦
Because the others... her boyfriend was my badminton coach, and he didn't know what to do either.
13
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:24,263
所以那時候我去醫院看她的時候，她就提到說她想要做那個蛋糕
So when I visited her at the hospital, she mentioned she wanted to make that cake,
14
00:02:24,263 --> 00:02:29,600
杯子蛋糕上面的那個拉花。就是擠奶油的那一個
the piping on top of cupcakes. You know, squeezing out the frosting.
15
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,314
因為她之前的工作就是在做那一個。她很喜歡，很想做
Because that's what she used to do for work. She loved it and really wanted to do it,
16
00:02:34,314 --> 00:02:40,145
但生了病以後就沒有辦法。然後後來聽到了這件事以後
but after she got sick, she couldn't. So after I heard about that,
17
00:02:40,145 --> 00:02:50,150
我就趕快去醫院附近的地方買了一個大蛋糕。然後去買了擠奶油的那個頭
I hurried to a place near the hospital and bought a big cake. Then I bought the piping tip,
18
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:58,600
就是拉花的頭。還有請蛋糕店幫我準備很多兩三個顏色的奶油吧
the decorating tip. And I asked the bakery to prepare a lot of frosting in two or three colors.
19
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,600
然後就準備好，然後帶去醫院。讓她在上面做她想要的造型
Then, once everything was ready, I took it to the hospital and let her decorate it any way she wanted.
20
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:17,600
然後那時候她就很感動 啊不行。(哭) 她就很感動。她跟媽媽說 (慢慢來)
And she was so moved then— oh, I can't. (crying) She was so moved. She told her mom, (Take your time.)
21
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:29,600
(我)這麼多年了還這樣子(忍不住哭)。我也有點怕我等一下會哭。她就跟媽媽說她死而無憾
(Me) After all these years, I'm still like this. (can't stop crying) I'm a little afraid I'll cry in a bit. She told her mom she could go with no regrets.
22
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:39,014
因為那時候她也是 cancer (癌症) 最後一期了吧 末期 所以她講了那個以後
Because she had cancer then, too— the last stage, I guess. End-stage. So after she said that,
23
00:03:39,014 --> 00:03:45,569
我就覺得我做到了一件事，幫到了一個人。然後在她就是想要
I felt like I had accomplished something, that I'd helped someone. And when she was, you know, wanting to
24
00:03:45,569 --> 00:03:53,600
就是她生病的時候，我那時候有突然想到喜願協會，這一個協會
when she was sick, it suddenly occurred to me then— Make-a-Wish, that organization.
25
00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:01,600
然後我知道說 他們是幫人圓夢。但我那時候還不確定說是幫幾歲年齡層的
I knew they help people make their dreams come true. But I wasn't sure then what age group they serve.
26
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,600
所以我還是有google了一下。然後發現好像她的年齡已經超過了
So I looked it up on Google, and found that she was probably already past the age limit.
27
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:15,600
她二十多歲嘛。所以就沒有辦法就是介紹她，請喜願來幫她完成任何夢想
She was in her twenties, so I couldn't refer her and ask Make-a-Wish to help her with any wish.
28
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:22,600
然後後來我幫她做了這件事。她離開了以後，我就想，喔那我想要做志工
Then I ended up doing it for her myself. After she passed, I thought, well, I want to volunteer.
29
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:32,600
我想要幫助人。對對對。然後就開始從2017年7月到現在
I want to help people. Yes, yes. And so I started in July 2017 and have been going ever since.
30
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:40,600
哇，2017年到現在。快十年了耶。十年了，很快
Wow, 2017 to now. It's almost ten years! Ten years— that went fast.
31
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:49,600
那第一次幫朋友圓夢的時候是在美國，是不是？在臺灣，在臺灣
So the first time you helped a friend's dream come true, was that in the U.S.? In Taiwan, in Taiwan.
32
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:58,600
是我回來臺灣以後。嗯。因緣際會(下)開始打羽毛球。然後開始練習，然後找教練
It was after I came back to Taiwan. Mm-hm. By chance, I started playing badminton. Then I started practicing and found a coach.
33
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:07,933
然後我的教練就也是蠻年輕的一個大男孩。好像跟他學了一年以後
And my coach was also a pretty young guy, a big kid, really. It was like, after I'd studied with him for a year,
34
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:15,600
還是同一年?! 一年以後。對，一年以後就有一天大家一起出遊
or maybe the same year?! After a year. Right, after a year, one day we all went on an outing together.
35
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:22,600
然後他女朋友也出現。大家一起出遊，就這樣認識他女朋友。我只看過那一次
And his girlfriend showed up, too. We all went out together, and that's how I met his girlfriend. I only saw her that one time.
36
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,600
然後幾個月以後就聽到她住院了。然後剛好也是在我家附近的一個醫院
Then a few months later, I heard she'd been hospitalized, and it happened to be a hospital near my home.
37
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,600
我就說，可不可以去看她。然後就他們說OK啊
I asked if I could go see her, and they said, sure.
38
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:41,600
因為畢竟我們不是很熟。但她卻願意讓一個不熟的人去醫院看她的樣子
After all, we weren't that close. But she was willing to let someone she barely knew see her in the hospital.
39
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:49,600
所以我覺得這都是緣分吧。對啊。的確，因為在我們生重病的時候
So I think it was all fate. Yeah. Really, because when we're seriously ill,
40
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,600
這個情緒很複雜耶。因為是你最脆弱的時候、狀態不好的時候
the emotions are really complicated. Because it's when you're at your most vulnerable, when you're not doing well,
41
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:09,600
但是讓這個朋友來看你。然後我覺得對兩方都是很大的情緒的一個衝擊
and you let a friend come see you. I think it's a huge emotional impact on both sides.
42
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:18,600
對，因為的確我們不熟。但她卻願意OK讓我進入到她
Right, because we really weren't close. But she was okay with letting me see her
43
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,600
就是生病的狀態的時候。尤其小女孩就是也愛漂亮嘛
when she was sick. Especially a young girl, who of course likes to look pretty.
44
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:32,457
每個人都不會想讓對方看到不好的一面。但她卻願意OK讓我進入
Nobody wants the other person to see their bad side. But she was okay with letting me into
45
00:06:32,457 --> 00:06:39,306
她在那個時候的世界。所以還蠻特別的。對啊。嗯嗯
her world at that time. So it was pretty special. Yeah. Mm-hm.
46
00:06:39,306 --> 00:06:47,600
那想跟聽眾介紹一下你的背景。所以 Wendy你一開始
So I'd like to introduce your background to our listeners. So, Wendy, at first you
47
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,392
我記得聽你之前錄的Podcast。是說你小學四年級的時候
I remember from the podcast you recorded before. You said that in fourth grade,
48
00:06:54,392 --> 00:07:03,600
就到美國生活了，是嗎？對。就讀完四年級，就被家人帶出國
you moved to the U.S., right? Yes. I finished fourth grade and my family took me abroad.
49
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:13,600
一直出國到二十年以後，再回到臺灣。所以在美國生活了二十多年
I was abroad for twenty years before coming back to Taiwan. So you lived in the U.S. for over twenty years.
50
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:19,600
二十年，對。二十年。這樣年紀就被算出來了。哈哈
Twenty years, yes. Twenty years. And now you can work out my age. Haha.
51
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:30,452
那在美國生活二十年，回來臺灣。你有什麼，可以說一下
So after living in the U.S. for twenty years and coming back to Taiwan, what— could you tell us
52
00:07:30,452 --> 00:07:42,861
小小的文化衝擊，有沒有什麼(文化衝擊)？一開始回來的時候，還，應該有蠻多
about any small culture shocks? Was there anything? When I first got back, there were probably quite a lot of
53
00:07:42,861 --> 00:07:50,600
那種衝擊的。像開車。在美國我們是算非常守法
those shocks. Like driving. In the U.S., we're very law-abiding.
54
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:59,600
就是我們開(車)不會亂停啊，因為不能啊，一停就會被開罰單。嗯對啊
I mean, we don't just park wherever, because you can't. If you do, you get a ticket. Mm, right.
55
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,908
所以我才決定，不是很想要在臺北開車，因為我覺得
So I decided I really didn't want to drive in Taipei, because I felt
56
00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:12,600
我沒有辦法接受臺灣開車的方式。而且臺北還有摩托車鑽來鑽去。對
I couldn't accept how people drive in Taiwan. And in Taipei there are scooters weaving in and out. Right.
57
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,350
嗯所以，一開始回來的時候還有開 那時候
Mm. So when I first came back, I was still driving. Back then,
58
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:22,350
我的工作需要開老闆的車。然後，所以其實還有開車 那我也覺得說
my job required me to drive my boss's car. So I actually did still drive. And I also felt that
59
00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:28,933
臺灣的那個巷弄都好小。我的車子都過不了。其實都可以過啦
the alleys in Taiwan are all so tiny. My car couldn't get through. Well, actually it could.
60
00:08:28,933 --> 00:08:34,600
只是我沒辦法抓準那個寬度。就很奇怪，我抓不準
I just couldn't judge the width. It was weird, I couldn't get it right.
61
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:43,600
然後就還有停車的問題吧。你剛說你已經做志工做了十年
And then there's the parking problem. You just said you've been volunteering for ten years.
62
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:53,276
你的志工內容大概是什麼？就一開始我們，加入喜願
What does your volunteer work involve? Well, at first, when we join Make-a-Wish,
63
00:08:53,276 --> 00:08:59,721
就需要有一些 training，right？ 如何面對生病的小孩子
we need some training, right? On how to approach sick children
64
00:08:59,721 --> 00:09:07,267
還有面對需要陪伴生病小孩的父母。那就是過了一陣子
and the parents who need to stay with their sick kids. Then after a while,
65
00:09:07,267 --> 00:09:15,600
我們就可以開始去真正的做志工。去外面接觸小朋友的志工
we can start doing real volunteer work, the kind where you go out and meet the kids.
66
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:23,786
一開始我記得，我是先從院訪開始。
At first, I remember, I started with hospital visits.
67
00:09:23,786 --> 00:09:33,769
每週會在不同的醫院，搭配社工，還有志工們，我們會去
Each week, at different hospitals, together with social workers and other volunteers, we'd go to
68
00:09:33,769 --> 00:09:40,600
我們服務的小朋友的那一層病房。然後去陪他們玩
the floor where the children we serve are staying. And we'd go play with them.
69
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,600
可能是一個上午或一個下午。然後就去不同的病房
Maybe for a morning or an afternoon. And we'd go from room to room.
70
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,640
然後小朋友如果沒有在做什麼床邊教學，或者是沒有在睡覺
And if the kids weren't busy with bedside teaching or sleeping,
71
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,600
不舒服的話，他們倒還蠻願意跟我們玩。然後就一個接著一個玩
or feeling unwell, they were actually pretty willing to play with us. We'd go from one kid to the next.
72
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:05,600
玩遊戲啊，或者是聊一下天這樣。 這是一開始 對
Playing games, or chatting for a bit. That was the beginning. Yeah.
73
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:14,600
後來多幾年的經驗了以後。就開始去訪視要許願的小朋友
Later, after a few more years of experience, I started visiting the kids who were making wishes.
74
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:23,100
就是他們的自身的那個背景條件。就是他們生病的那個
Looking at their own background and conditions, like what illness they have,
75
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:31,831
那個叫什麼，病史，還是病歷。符合我們服務的對象的話
what's it called, medical history, or medical records. If they match the kids we serve,
76
00:10:31,831 --> 00:10:38,867
就會 可以安排就是跟他們還有家長一起來訪視
then we can arrange to visit together with them and their parents.
77
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:43,975
有的時候也會可能是在醫院。然後，有的時候也可能是在外面家裡啊
Sometimes it might be at the hospital. And sometimes it might be outside, at their home,
78
00:10:43,975 --> 00:10:49,767
或者是約在家附近的一個地方。可能就是聊一下小朋友喜歡什麼
or at a place near their home. We might chat about what the child likes,
79
00:10:49,767 --> 00:10:57,600
想要什麼。就是開始互動。然後去了解說他們，想要的是什麼
what they want. We start interacting, and try to understand what they really want,
80
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:07,600
然後 為什麼想要這樣。我其實在大學畢業
and why they want it. Actually, after I graduated from college,
81
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,327
有一段時間。哦 因為我現在住法國。然後來法國之前
there was a period— oh, because I live in France now. Before I came to France,
82
00:11:14,327 --> 00:11:22,908
跟我大學剛畢業那個時候。我有，我知道我要在臺灣待大概一個月的時間
right when I'd just graduated from college. I knew I'd be in Taiwan for about a month.
83
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:28,153
那個一個月的時間，我是非常有空的。
During that month, I was totally free.
84
00:11:28,153 --> 00:11:34,600
所以那個時候我回去喜願協會問他們說，欸，我可不可以當活動志工，我很願意。
So I went back to Make-a-Wish and asked them, hey, could I be an event volunteer? I'm very willing.
85
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:40,600
不過，那個時候我還，嗯 就是我大概只能當活動志工
But at that time I was still, um, I figured I could probably only be an event volunteer
86
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:46,850
因為如果我只待一個月，太短了。所以
because if I'm only there for a month, that's too short. So
87
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:53,600
那個時候我沒有參與到訪視，或者是幫病童園夢
I didn't get involved in visits or in helping sick kids make their wishes come true back then.
88
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:59,933
這麼深入，還沒有。我就參加活動志工。那個時候
Not that deeply, not yet. I just joined as an event volunteer. At that time,
89
00:11:59,933 --> 00:12:08,100
我們好像去長庚醫院。林口長庚。桃園林口長庚
I think we went to Chang Gung Hospital. Linkou Chang Gung. Taoyuan Linkou Chang Gung.
90
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:18,600
禮拜六下午吧，我們就帶小朋友做勞作，做美術作品
It was a Saturday afternoon, I think. We had the kids do crafts and make art.
91
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:25,600
可以請問是什麼時候嗎？多久以前？真的很久以前耶。也是
Can I ask when that was? How long ago? It was really a long time ago. Yeah.
92
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:32,600
也是會猜到年齡嗎？也是會，我真的要講嗎？也是十年啊。十年前啊
Is that going to let people guess my age? Yeah, it will. Do I really have to say? It was ten years ago, too. Ten years ago.
93
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:42,600
也是。可能沒有碰到。可能錯過喔。
Yeah. Maybe we didn't run into each other. Maybe we just missed each other.
94
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:52,446
那，我特別對這個很開心，是因為以前我是生病的那個小朋友的時候
I'm especially happy about this because back when I was the sick kid,
95
00:12:52,446 --> 00:13:01,457
我知道有一個活動，是多麼重要的一件事。因為在醫院的時間太長
I knew how important it was to have an activity. Because spending so long in the hospital
96
00:13:01,457 --> 00:13:10,069
然後所以很無聊。那，突然有協會的人過來說，啊 今天有活動喔
gets really boring. And then suddenly someone from the organization comes and says, hey, we have an activity today!
97
00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:19,975
我們要辦這個活動，真的會很開心。就不一樣
We're going to do this activity— it really makes you happy. It's different.
98
00:13:19,975 --> 00:13:26,600
每天都做同樣的事。就檢查、打藥、檢查、打藥、治療
Every day you do the same things: tests, medication, tests, medication, treatment.
99
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:32,600
可能有的時候會待，幾個禮拜幾個月。那叫什麼？
Sometimes you stay for weeks, even months. What's it called?
100
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:39,267
日復一日，突然有一些不同東西進來的時候，的確
Day after day, and then when something different suddenly comes in, you really
101
00:13:39,267 --> 00:13:47,228
會感覺到不一樣的那種喜悅。所以 Wendy
feel a different kind of joy. So, Wendy,
102
00:13:47,228 --> 00:13:55,600
你有參加一些活動，然後也有幫助小朋友完成他們的夢想
you've taken part in activities, and also helped children make their dreams come true,
103
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:03,600
參加醫院訪視這些。有沒有什麼是讓你印象深刻的?
and joined hospital visits and so on. Is there anything that left a deep impression on you?
104
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:14,337
印象最深刻。有一個小朋友，我其實蠻深刻的。因為可能我之前也有
The most memorable... There's one child who really stuck with me. Because maybe I've also
105
00:14:14,337 --> 00:14:22,600
聊到這件事。就是一個小小魔術師。他可能是我剛開始訪視不久
talked about this before. He's a little magician. It was probably not long after I'd started doing visits.
106
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:29,267
然後，他其實是我，一開始先在醫院遇到的小朋友，就是
And he was actually a child I first met at the hospital, during
107
00:14:29,267 --> 00:14:35,100
院訪的時候。然後我們就陪小朋友玩啊。然後這一個小朋友
a visit. We were playing with the kids. And this child
108
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:41,600
我很記得他，印象深刻。因為第一次進去到他的病房，然後就
I remember him so well. Because the first time I went into his room, we just
109
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,418
我們就一起玩遊戲。然後玩一玩遊戲，我忘了是他媽媽說
played games together. And while we were playing, I forget whether it was his mom who said
110
00:14:47,418 --> 00:14:53,600
還是 他就說他喜歡魔術，變魔術。然後我就說OK，那下次變給我看
or he himself who said he likes magic, doing magic tricks. So I said, okay, show me next time.
111
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,600
然後我忘了，可能再過下一個禮拜，還是下下個禮拜
And I forget, maybe the next week, or the week after that,
112
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,303
因為那種院訪都是每個禮拜，在一個某個醫院，同一個醫院
because those hospital visits happen every week, at a certain hospital, the same hospital,
113
00:15:03,303 --> 00:15:08,600
一個禮拜一次的。然後再下去的時候，他那天可能就不舒服
once a week. And when I went back, he wasn't feeling well that day.
114
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,600
但他卻還是很有禮貌的跟我們說，嗯，對不起我今天不舒服
But he was still very polite and told us, um, sorry, I don't feel well today,
115
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:19,357
我們就不要互動，不要玩了。所以我就覺得，哇，(他是)生病的小朋友
so let's not interact, let's not play. And I thought, wow, (he's) a sick child,
116
00:15:19,357 --> 00:15:24,433
但他的脾氣，他的態度還是很好，很有禮貌。然後再下一次的時候
but his temperament and attitude were still so good, so polite. And the next time,
117
00:15:24,433 --> 00:15:30,600
我聽到他的名字就是，已經是他申請，他想要申請圓夢
when I heard his name, it was already because he'd applied— he wanted to apply for a wish.
118
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,600
然後，我一看到是這個小朋友，我就說好那我要去訪問他
And as soon as I saw it was this child, I said, okay, I'll go interview him.
119
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:42,600
去訪問他，那剛好是去他家，跟搭配一位，那時候有一位社工一起去他家
To interview him, and it happened to be at his home, paired with a social worker who came to his home with me.
120
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:48,000
然後，因為我比較喜歡跟小朋友互動。所以我每次去訪問的話
And because I prefer interacting with the kids, whenever I go on an interview,
121
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:54,519
都是跟小朋友玩。然後社工，因為他們可能也比較有經驗，然後就是
I play with the kids. And the social workers, since they're probably more experienced, then
122
00:15:54,519 --> 00:16:00,600
陪父母，就是(跟)家長聊天。然後，我就跟這個小朋友互動，去他家以後
keep the parents company, chatting with the parents. And I interacted with this child after we got to his home.
123
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:09,029
我就問他說你喜歡做什麼? 然後，我們之前都有那個，那個叫什麼
I asked him, what do you like to do? We also have that, what's it called,
124
00:16:09,029 --> 00:16:15,800
畫冊。對，畫冊給小朋友嘛。你想要做什麼、你想要去哪裡、想要看見誰啊
a picture book. Right, a picture book for the kids. What do you want to do, where do you want to go, who do you want to see,
125
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,000
想要得到什麼禮物。上面就是可以讓他填。那我就拿出來
what gift do you want. He can fill all that in. So I took it out.
126
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,350
然後我記得他好像快十歲吧。他就每一個都說，喔我想去哪裡啊
I remember he was almost ten. And for each one, he'd say, oh, I want to go to...
127
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:33,645
去臺東吧。然後，你想要什麼呢？如果你可以擁有一個禮物
Taitung, I guess. And then, what do you want? If you could have a gift,
128
00:16:33,645 --> 00:16:41,200
你會想要擁有什麼。他說，就很多玩具而已。就這樣子，但是你會感覺到
what would you want? He said, just a lot of toys. That's it. But you could feel that
129
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:49,247
可能這不是他要的。Wendy 你剛剛的問題都是在，想要知道這個小男孩
maybe that wasn't what he wanted. Wendy, all of those questions you asked were to find out what this little boy
130
00:16:49,247 --> 00:16:54,600
他真的想要的是什麼。他的夢到底是什麼，對不對。
really wanted. What his dream really was, right?
131
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:01,600
當然之前會有一些互動。但是後來就覺得這不是他真的想要去的(地方)
Of course, we'd had some interaction before. But then I felt that this wasn't somewhere he truly wanted to go.
132
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,959
因為你感覺不到任何的，啊，眼睛發亮，或者是任何的說
Because you couldn't sense any, ah, sparkle in his eyes, or any sign of him saying,
133
00:17:07,959 --> 00:17:15,400
對我就是要這一個。他是什麼都可以。但是後來我就覺得，嗯這樣子是不是
yes, that's the one I want. He was fine with anything. But then I thought, hmm, is this maybe
134
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:23,600
不是他要的。那我是沒有辦法問出來，真正後面他核心是什麼
not what he wants? So I couldn't draw out what his real core wish was.
135
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:31,677
那我就突然想到說，我在院訪的時候，有得到的消息，就是他很喜歡魔術
Then it suddenly occurred to me that during the hospital visits, I'd heard that he really likes magic,
136
00:17:31,677 --> 00:17:38,600
變魔術。我說我記得你很喜歡魔術，變魔術，那你要不要變給我看
doing magic tricks. I said, I remember you really like magic. Would you show me a trick?
137
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,288
然後，他就說好啊，那開始變，變，變，變。然後，我就問他說
And he said, sure! and started doing tricks, one after another. Then I asked him,
138
00:17:43,288 --> 00:17:48,886
你是跟誰學的。然後他就在醫院嘛，現在後來小朋友都有iPad
who did you learn from? Since he was in the hospital— nowadays kids have iPads
139
00:17:48,886 --> 00:17:52,600
還是手機，就可以看一些YouTuber，他就說有一個
or phones, so they can watch YouTubers. He said there was one
140
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,100
哎呀，我現在忘了他的那個魔術師的名字。然後
oh no, I forgot that magician's name now. And
141
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:03,650
他就說他很喜歡看這一個魔術師。啊 忘記了 Anyway sorry
he said he really likes watching this magician. Ah, I forgot. Anyway, sorry,
142
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:10,600
也有點年代了。所以就就開始跟他聊這件事
it was a while ago. So I started chatting with him about it.
143
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:21,600
然後他就跟我說，我就問他說，那你會想要見到這個魔術師嗎？他說「想。」
And then he told me— I asked him, would you want to meet this magician? He said, "Yes."
144
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:30,632
哇。對 那時候他的眼神有發亮嗎？有，是開心的
Wow. Yeah. Did his eyes light up then? Yes, he was happy.
145
00:18:30,632 --> 00:18:36,489
你會覺得就跟剛剛之前在問他，你想要什麼東西。或者是
It felt completely different from before, when I'd asked him what he wanted, or
146
00:18:36,489 --> 00:18:42,600
你有什麼特別想要去的地方嗎？都是完全不一樣的感覺
whether there was any place he especially wanted to go. It was a totally different feeling.
147
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:50,600
然後就開始了一系列後面的一些安排。然後我覺得喜願還蠻厲害的
Then a series of arrangements began. And I think Make-a-Wish is pretty impressive.
148
00:18:50,600 --> 00:19:01,138
就是從這個之中，他們就去跟那位魔術師聯繫，那位魔術師也很棒
From this, they reached out to that magician, and the magician was wonderful, too.
149
00:19:01,138 --> 00:19:09,600
他很願意就是來看這個小朋友。然後最後他們還加碼了，他教小朋友
He was very willing to come see this child. And in the end they even added a bonus: he taught the child.
150
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:15,600
喔對，因為還有其中一個就是，他想要學魔術嘛，就是跟這位魔術師學
Oh right, because one of the things was that he wanted to learn magic, from this magician.
151
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:24,600
我說那你學了以後想要做什麼？他說他想要表演給他的同學看
I asked, what do you want to do after you learn it? He said he wants to perform for his classmates.
152
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:32,695
對那時候你會覺得說，他不是只是為了自己，他也想要就是分享他的
Yeah, at that point you realize it's not just for himself. He also wants to share his
153
00:19:32,695 --> 00:19:40,158
他的開心給大家。把這個快樂帶給他的朋友，嗯。然後所以就
joy with everyone. To bring this happiness to his friends. Mm. And so
154
00:19:40,158 --> 00:19:48,600
後來就延伸了他們去，社工找到魔術師，魔術師也來醫院
it grew from there: the social worker found the magician, and the magician came to the hospital,
155
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:57,740
來看小朋友，然後跟他互動。然後，他們也約好了，就是
to see the child and interact with him. And they also arranged that
156
00:19:57,740 --> 00:20:05,600
不只只教他魔術，好像有陪他一起去學校去變魔術
he wouldn't only teach him magic, but I think he went with him to school to perform magic.
157
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:11,850
就是他在學校表演的那個魔術是有一個橋段的
The magic he performed at school had a special segment.
158
00:20:11,850 --> 00:20:22,600
後來就是還幫他，協會還幫他，那個叫什麼？有準備那個魔術師
And then they also helped him— the organization helped him with, what's it called? They prepared that magician
159
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:31,296
準備 那個魔術師的造型嗎？對，就真的還是量身訂做的那種
—prepared the magician's look? Yes, it was really custom-tailored,
160
00:20:31,296 --> 00:20:38,600
一整套衣服。然後也跟學校聯絡好，在學校的禮堂
a whole outfit. And they also coordinated with the school, in the school auditorium,
161
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:48,600
來舉辦這一個魔術表演給他的同學們看。哇
to hold this magic show for his classmates. Wow.
162
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:56,232
那我覺得，我自己有一點小遺憾的是，因為他這一天表演的活動
My own little regret is that on the day he performed,
163
00:20:56,232 --> 00:21:03,600
那一天我需要工作。所以我沒有辦法最後，一整個參與到最後
I had to work. So I couldn't be there for the whole thing, all the way to the end.
164
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:11,600
所以對我來說是有一點點的小遺憾，但是我覺得很為他開心
So for me it was a tiny bit of regret, but I'm really happy for him.
165
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:20,600
Wendy，我想請問一下，如果外國人想要去喜願當志工，中文不太好
Wendy, I'd like to ask: if a foreigner wants to volunteer at Make-a-Wish and their Chinese isn't very good,
166
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:27,600
但是大概可以聽得懂，這樣可以嗎？可以啊，只要會遊戲。只要會遊戲
but they can roughly understand, is that okay? Sure, as long as they can play games. As long as they can play games
167
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:35,165
或變魔術。可能要，如果說是院訪的話，那沒關係
or do magic. Maybe; if it's just visit, then it's fine,
168
00:21:35,165 --> 00:21:41,084
我們一定還是會有別的志工在。那就像你說，如果他會魔術、會玩遊戲
because we'd definitely have other volunteers there. And like you said, if they can do magic or play games,
169
00:21:41,084 --> 00:21:48,600
因為我們很多是玩那種桌遊。如果他也可以玩的話，那其實是OK的
since we mostly play board games. If they can play those too, then it's actually fine.
170
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:55,221
桌遊，桌遊也可以。對，我們其實就是陪小朋友玩很多的
Board games, board games work too. Yes, we basically spend time playing lots of
171
00:21:55,221 --> 00:22:00,600
不同類型的桌遊。因為畢竟在醫院，他們也不方便跑跳嘛
different kinds of board games with the kids. Because in the hospital they can't really run around, after all.
172
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,457
所以還是以就是靜態為主。那可能撲克牌、不同的桌遊，然後
So it's mostly quiet activities. Maybe playing cards, different board games, and
173
00:22:06,457 --> 00:22:12,600
不同年齡層的，都會帶著。就是社工們都會帶著。好，撲克牌、桌遊、變魔術
ones for different age groups, we bring them all. The social workers always bring them. Okay: playing cards, board games, magic tricks,
174
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:20,000
撲克牌、桌遊、變魔術，可能比較靜態，讓生病的小朋友
playing cards, board games, magic tricks— things that are quieter, so that sick kids
175
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:28,850
也可以一起玩的都可以。對，還蠻多可以互動的
can join in too. Anything like that works. Yes, there are quite a lot of ways to interact.
176
00:22:28,850 --> 00:22:36,600
對啊。有的時候我覺得跟小孩互動，其實有一點難
Yeah. Sometimes I feel that interacting with kids is actually a bit hard,
177
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,600
特別是生病的小朋友，因為他可能不太舒服，或是
especially sick kids, because they may not feel well, or
178
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:49,342
也可能有點害羞。 如果說這個小朋友就是不舒服
they might be a little shy. If the child is not feeling well,
179
00:22:49,342 --> 00:22:55,138
真的是不舒服的狀態。那我們就是去打個招呼。就也不會
really in a state of discomfort, then we just go say hello. And we wouldn't
180
00:22:55,138 --> 00:23:00,850
就是問候他一下，讓他知道說我們來過。那如果等一下
just greet them, so they know we came by. And if, a little later,
181
00:23:00,850 --> 00:23:08,100
狀態有好一點的話，我們可以再找我們回來陪你玩。那如果遇到害羞的
they feel a bit better, we can come back and play with you. And if we meet shy kids,
182
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:16,358
其實有幾個都是還蠻害羞的。那我們也還是會
actually quite a few are pretty shy. We'd still
183
00:23:16,358 --> 00:23:23,691
也是去跟他打個招呼。那通常我們也都是會準備小小的禮物給小朋友
go say hello to them too. And we usually prepare little gifts for the kids,
184
00:23:23,691 --> 00:23:31,600
就是給他個禮物，讓他選、玩一下。然後就介紹我們
give them a gift, let them pick one and play with it for a bit. Then we introduce ourselves,
185
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,600
慢慢熟悉。Yeah，對，我突然想到畫畫是不是也可以
and slowly get familiar. Yeah. Oh, it just occurred to me, would drawing work too?
186
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:45,600
畫畫，應該也是可以。對。所以我們才會準備畫冊就是給小朋友
Drawing should work too. Yes. That's why we prepare picture books for the kids.
187
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:52,725
之前小小孩就很喜歡畫畫嘛。那今天真的非常感謝臺灣喜願協會的志工 Wendy
Little kids love drawing, you know. Today, I'm truly grateful to Wendy, a volunteer with Make-a-Wish Taiwan.
188
00:23:52,725 --> 00:23:59,600
那今天就謝謝你們聽到這邊。拜拜
Thank you all for listening this far. Bye-bye!
