十二年來,每到歲末年終,嚮光團隊便會馬不停蹄規劃「佳欣送禮」,從物資募集、蒐集願望清單、採買到包裝,每個環節都想著如何好好將愛與祝福分享給孩子與家庭。

時光很快就來到物資發送當天,我們與素易載著滿車的聖誕禮物和純植物資,相約在清泉的桃山國小,抵達時,天氣從陰雨綿綿,逐漸露出陽光,好天氣迎接著我們,讓我們充滿活力,有效率地將物資與禮物盤點完畢,準備把溫暖傳遞出去。

孩子從遠方跑過來給我們熱情地擁抱,似乎知道我們準備了許多驚喜;等到送禮物的環節,素易扮成聖誕先生,將禮物交到孩子手中,當孩子收到禮物的瞬間,都露出心滿意足的表情,迫不及待到旁邊拆禮物,有的孩子甚至緊緊抱著禮物,捨不得拆開;這是我們根據孩子的願望精心挑選的,有位孩子許願一條十字架項鍊,他收到時看起來又驚又喜,立刻把項鍊戴起來,這一刻十分令人感動,孩子的快樂其實很簡單、純粹。

午後,我們的任務是將物資一戶戶送到家庭,這次從素易購挑選的純植物資也很豐富,有植物乃、天貝香鬆、堅果抹醬和手工拉麵等等多達 16 樣,我們一行人提著物資走過層層階梯、清泉天主堂和清泉山莊,才到達孩子的家,我們也遇到多年沒見的家長,希望這些純植乾糧和食品可以讓他們好好度過這個冬天。
睽違四年,再次來到清泉的素易,他們對活潑又充滿好奇心的孩子印象深刻,藉由提供純植物資給家庭,減少他們在生活中對動物的傷害;每個人都擁有照亮世界角落的力量,讓生命獲得希望,我們也會收穫更多美好。

感謝 素易 與我們一起實踐公益,感謝 純素天堂 美味的白米,也謝謝聖誕天使 Carter 為孩子募集聖誕禮物,以及所有支持嚮光歲末活動的您們,讓我們能繼續送愛到清泉!

Our 12th annual Jia-Xin gift and necessities driver never fails to warm our hearts. These are not items simply given to people, but an  exchange between friends. We have gained so much back in strength and love from the community and are involved in the lives of the youth all year round. This always makes the gifts and necessities that much more meaningful. 

We are always happy to be able to welcome new friends to fall in love with ChingChuan but also happy to have old friends return. This year we have both – Carter and his Christmas Angels helping to fulfill all of the children’s wishlist and funding their year end gift creation classes and SUIIS returning, using their online platform to supply plant-based staples for families.  

As always, TaoShan Elementary School’s Teacher Lin was the lead Christmas director, having the kids write in their wishlist and having them gather around our Santa of the Year. After the gift giving at the school and a thoughtful and , we headed out to the rolling slopes that made up the ChingChuan tribe. We were able to see some familiar faces and families from 2012 and hear a bit more about changes that had taken place in the past year. As per custom, we also dropped off two sets of necessities at the gorgeous Catholic church with Father Barry Martinson and Hannah who were hosting the service. Our annual pilgrimage for necessities seems like a quick visit home and we hope that other well wishers and do-gooders can also provide the same generosity, love, companionship, and support all year round.

In our 12th year, we know that the spirit of generosity from Santa Jia-Xin and her family and supporters can still continue to bring a brighter future to everyone all year round. We can’t wait to see everyone next year!
