明日之光First Step 團隊的2021年

前言

2020年11月,美中下一代基金會明日之光公益獎平台正式成立並得到華人社區的積極響應。平台的職責之一是傳播各個團隊的事迹和經驗,共大家學習,交流和參考。這篇文章是喜得2020年美國總統義工服務獎的林家姐妹Annie(英文原創)和Chloe(中文翻譯)再次攜手,報道她們團隊2021年所做的公益活動。希望其他團隊的隊員們也踴躍將自己的經歷寫下來,互相交流,互相促進。

Over the year 2021, First Step team continued the mission of improving our community by cleaning up trash, volunteering at local food banks, bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and more. We have grown from the original four members to more than 35 in just one year, and organized more than 50 activities. Here』s a brief summary of all we did in 2021.

在2021年里,First Step 團隊一直堅持通過清理垃圾,在食品銀行幫忙,為救世軍募捐等方式幫助和改善我們的社區。我們已經從最初的四人發展到35人以上,並組織了50 多次活動。下面是一份簡短的2021工作總結。

We organized more than 30 trash cleaning activities over the past year. Some of the highlights were: The Earth Day Challenge – Members cleaned up trash around their neighborhoods on Earth Day; Shine A Light Awards Ceremony –  members received the Shine A Light Award, and then picked up trash in Wills Park after the awards ceremony; the Lake Lanier Shore Sweep 2021 – This annual event was organized by Lake Lanier Association.
