iSurvived Nottingham University, Semenyih, 18 – 24 July 2021
The team came to know of four postgraduate students who had financial needs recently. Since mid July, the iSurvived Nottingham team (consisted of students and young working adults) managed to gather enough funds through Acts Semenyih Homes. Even their campus’ doctor joined in to donate. The funds were used to buy groceries and paid for the food vouchers to aid the students. The team approached two local food stalls on campus to create a food voucher, recognised by the stalls. The vouchers were then printed and given to the students so that they can redeem their meals (which were already paid for) from the hawkers. They were very happy and grateful, and we hope to keep building our friendship with them.
团队们知道了4名研究生的所需所求。自七月中旬以来，团队们从 Homes 里筹集了一些资金，以及校园医生也参与了捐献。这些资金都用来购买了日常用品和食物劵来帮助这些学生。该团队还与校园内的两个食品摊合作。这些代金劵是刻意为这些学生所设计和打印的。他们非常的高兴和感恩，我们也希望能继续与他们建立友谊。
Here’s what one of the volunteers shares…

What made you do what you did? 什么推动妳做妳所做的？
It really broke my heart to think and even see those students suffering. I could not even begin to think of what they must have been going through, and I wanted to do something, even if it were only small, to help them out.
当我想到和看到学生受苦时，真的很让我心碎。我甚至无法想象他们正在经历些什么，我想尽可能的做一些事，即使是很小的事，来帮助他们。
What did you learn from this? How did this experience change your outlook of our current situation in pandemic? 妳從中学到什么？这个经历如何改变了妳对自己在疫情中的境况？
It does not take a lot to help out someone. With the pandemic affecting everyone, it is hard to even think of how we can help others but regardless, it just takes a willing heart. All we need to do is as simple as just finding out and help out to the best of our abilities.
要帮助他人并不需要很多时间。纵观整个疫情，甚至很难想到我们该如何去帮助某个人，但这只需要一颗心甘情愿的心。在我们力所能及的范围内寻找和帮助。
What is God saying to you now? 现在，神在跟妳说什么？
Throughout this pandemic, I know that God has always been by my side. And there are so many people out there who do not know that. I really want to be the person, to be the Salt and Light, through which they might come to know Jesus.
在整个疫情过程中，我知道神一直与我同在，但外面很多人并不知道。我真的很想成为那个作为盐和光的人，好让他们来认识耶稣。
