Gratitude Quietly Blossoms Between Each Connection

Gratitude Quietly Blossoms Between Each Connection 

<感恩，在每次連線之間悄悄綻放>

Another week, another online English class.

The link is the same, but this time I joined from Taiwan while on a business trip. Somehow, it made me feel a little closer to the children in Nantou—a warmth that quietly filled my heart.

Every week, I watch those adorable, innocent faces listening attentively to our volunteer teachers. Sometimes, the cutest conversations pop up:

“Do you remember the English word for this food? It’s the one we all love to eat!” (When did the students and teachers start knowing each other’s favorite snacks so well? )

One word, one sentence, one class a week. Step by step, we grow together and learn from one another.

On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the students, teachers, volunteers, and friends who have supported the Jeff & Jan Remote English Program.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful holiday

又到了每週一次的線上英文課。連結一樣，但這次換成在台灣出差時登入，距離南投的孩子們好像更近了一點，那份貼近的溫度讓人心頭微微一暖。

看著一張張稚氣可愛的小臉龐，專注地聽著英文志工小老師的授課，偶爾還會冒出幾句有趣的互動：

「這個食物的英文還記得嗎？就是我們倆最愛吃的那個！」 (什麼時候學生和老師已經默契到連彼此的口味都了解了？） 一個單字、一行句子，一週一堂課。慢慢地，我們一起累積、一起成長，也一起收穫。

在感恩節的今天，特別想向 Jeff & Jan 遠距英文項目的所有師生、志工，以及一路支持、關懷我們的朋友們說聲：謝謝你們，讓這段旅程有了更多光亮與陪伴。 祝福大家佳節平安、愉快
