    On Nov.30,2014,"Share Love", Free Lunch Campaign was held in Classroom 431, No.1 

School Building, GuangDong Polytechnic Normal University ,Baiyun District. The 

sharing session went successfully and the audients were moved to tears.

Part One: A "Share Love" Speech

    Qiu Yu Pan was the keynote speaker of the sharing session.First,she explained 

what Free Lunch was and told storiesof Free Lunch Campaigns. Second, she 

introduced the Free Lunch volunteer group in Guangzhou and the Free Lunch 

Station on campus of GuangDong.At last, in order for the students to know 

better about Free Lunch, two introduction videos, Free Lunch and the New 

Year's Film about motivating the college students into volunteer activities, 

were played. 

    After watching the New Year's Film,my feelings toward Free Lunch were totally 

different. Before I joined the organization,I considered the film a good 

introduction to the program.Now,I was touched watching it.I could feel the 

painstaking work put into establishing the volunteer stations by the 

predecessors,and the **struggle felt by the volunteers while trying to provide 

hot meals to the innocent children in the rural areas. What they gave was their 

leisure time, but they received love in return.

Part Two : Interview

    In the interview session, I interviewed three volunteers of the volunteer station 

on campus. Their names were Qiu Yu Pan, Li Nan Shen and Rong Rong Li. They were 

sincere and honest in their answers, and the audience erupted in applause.

    Qui Yu Pan:" When you do your part for the public benefit, more effort you make 

and the more volunteers you meet, the more you will find everything and everyone 

interesting."She is right. I think there are some differences between those who 

have dedicated themselves to public service and those who have not. For example, 

even though it was the first time we met, I found those volunteers were so warm-

hearted that we felt like we were a family.

    Li Nan Shen:"Free Lunch kind of opened a window for me to look into a bigger 

world. And the view in the new world, outside the window, is even more 

beautiful." As for me, Free Lunch has opened a window for me too. I have known 

some fancy new things through the window. I have met so many talented students 

and volunteers and learned so many things from them. Free Lunch indeed brightens 

up my life.

    Rong Rong Li:" Feeling at ease! Serving the public makes me feel at ease!" 

Indeed, many people desire to gain this at-ease-feeling. As long as we have a 

warm heart and do things by taking a step at a time, we will have enriched our 

lives.

Part Three : Free Talk

    Wei Ma shared what she had experienced in Red Cross. She expressed her 

thoughts from the bottom of her heart. During her speech, she broke into tears in 

public for the first time. I have known her for a year and I know that she is a 

very rational person. Crying in front of a lot of people is the last thing she 

would do. However, at the moment, I was touched by her too. When she shared her 

feelings and pressures that have been underneath her chest for so long, I felt 

for her and broke into tears. What's more, when I found out that such a rational 

person could be touched to cry, I can truly understand what Mr.Fei Deng has said 

:"Mildness changes China." and what Bi Shumin has said:"Mildness is more powerful 

than boldness”. I think the intention behind the two quotes is that everyone has 

mercy ,and even though the help we offered is trivial, we can receive lots of 

love.

   Ming Xian Zhang, an officer of the Youth association in the Management College in 

GuangDong Polytechnic Normal University, expressed his views. He mentioned, the 

resources in China were not balanced from area to area. Free Lunch as a 

professional non-profit organization, can provide the left-behind children in 

Rural areas with nutritious meals. He also hoped that via learning the successful 

pattern of this sharing session, we could continue to hold more and more 

sessions. Pan Ye, Member of Management Committee in Free Lunch, once said:” The 

reason that we keep publicizing Free Lunch is not only for attracting more and 

more warm-hearted people to join us, but also for them to know about more non-

profit organizations and find ones that fit them most.As a college student, I 

felt honor to influence my classmates to become volunteers.

    In addition, he illustrated how a small good deed can produce a large effect, 

through the use of an example. He was doing research with his senior high 

classmates at that time. One day, when he was walking pass an elevator in the 

subway, he found that everyone, no matter if they were *entering or exiting, 

clumped together in the center. He and his classmates started to guide people 

entering the elevator to the left and those exiting to the right.The small good 

deed they did greatly enhanced the order of those using the elevator.


Part Four: After the session ended

    After the whole session was over, many students choose to stay and continued to explore what was inside the public service with volunteers help. The students and the volunteers also exchanged contacts for further communication. Meanwhile, a lot of students showed great passion to join the Free Lunch Station in campus. Those adorable students all have an altruistic thought and want to contribute their part to provide hot meals to the children in Rural areas.
