When I joined UNICEF China as a volunteer,I couldn't wait to help solve some big social
problems right away.But at first,my job was only to interview the new staff(员工)about
their training.I did what I was told to do,but to be honest,I didn't feel like I was creating the
value I imagined.
After a few days,my fellow volunteers and I were asked to make a video for UNICEF
China.In doing so,I was able to work with some experienced staff and learn how they
understood their job.Thanks to it,I have learned several important lessons.
First,making a big change takes time.Staff with the longest work experience in UNI ICE F
usually make the most difference.Second,the time we have spent is always worth it,no matter how
long it is.For example,it might take ages to help build up one school.Once it begins,it can grow and
develop further.Moreover,I find that even the smallest thing we do can be valuable.
Later on,the video was completed.It showed what UNICEF China did.In it,some staff
were working at the front line(前线)， some were doing paper work in the office and I was S
interviewing the new staff.I see that everyone is helping in their own ways,no matter how
small the act is.Together,we are making a difference to our society and creating a brighter
future for our children.
