有愛無礙護大地 勤做環保當復健


日前在屏東舉辦環保志工領證活動,其中有兩位身殘心不殘的志工,一位是腦性麻痺的蔡美惠,做環保已經長達五年,做環保讓他找到人生的意義,另一位是天生脊椎側彎的楊國龍,做環保當做復健,他們跨越障礙,用雙手做環保,要讓地球更乾淨。

在慈濟家人的攙扶下楊國龍一步步走來,天生脊椎側彎的他,平常得坐輪椅,但環保站志工協助他慢慢復健,現在他已經能自己走在平坦的路,雖然步履蹣跚但畢竟可以不再靠他人攙扶,在環保站做環保的這一年來,他身心靈都感到滿足。

環保志工 楊國龍:「覺得很好,可以交到很多朋友,慈濟的朋友。」

楊國龍做環保找到人生意義,從精舍法師手中接過環保志工證,也讓他更肯定自己,身殘心不殘的還有這位53歲的蔡美惠,腦性麻痺的她,雖然雙手動作不快,但做環保卻不輸人。

環保志工 蔡美惠:「(你做環保幾年了)五年,(五年你覺得如何),很好很高興。」

即使身體有障礙,也不能阻礙他們樂於付出的心,要用自己的雙手,讓地球更乾淨。

真善美志工 邱瑞堂 張玉梅 戴敦仁 屏東報導

慈濟志工 許銘城:「那時候很不習慣,很不自然很辛苦,很難過也要忍耐。」

樂觀的許銘城,不怨天尤人,選擇勇敢面對,積極做慈濟,家人都很護持。

慈濟志工 許銘城:「做得比較歡喜,師兄師姊他們都很照顧啊,做對的事情做就對了。」
