Matthew 25 Challenge
Have you ever slept on the ground because you had no bed to sleep on?
Have you ever worn the same clothes because those are the only clothes you had?
Have you ever starved because you had very little or no food at all?
In all likelihood, these are not problems we have experienced in Taiwan because our lives are very comfortable compared to millions of people around the world--including millions of children--who have so little food, drink, and clothes.
Last April 23-27, all Kuei Shan PYP students engaged in the Matthew 25 Challenge (by World Vision), which brings those problems into our classrooms and into their homes, in order for us to be more informed about the global crisis of millions of people in great need.
Kuei Shan Secondary School’s World Vision Club facilitated discussions and reflections with the children in class after each challenge. Through these simple yet profound daily challenges, we believe the students have grown in empathy, compassion, and generosity as they pray for those who have little.
我做了全部的挑戰，我覺得最難的是「睡在地板上」的挑戰，起床時我被超痛，但我想那就是窮困的人的日常生活，沒什麼好抱怨的。

其中一個挑戰是寫信給爸爸媽媽，這項挑戰讓我印象深刻，因為他們居然把我念的錄下來，我感受到他們滿滿的愛。

我發現要是從小養成貪心這個壞習慣，我們以後可能會因為貪心而做出一發不可收拾的後果啊！

有一些可憐的小孩根本不用提「想要」了，甚至連「需要」的東西都是奢想了，我發現我有多幸福。By 5115 Jean Tang
以前我認為爸爸媽媽給我想要的東西是「應該的」，現在我認為我應該要「感恩」，因為我很幸福。By Erica Fan 5121
