Where: 809 Sacramento Street, San Francisco, CA

每年元旦的第一𠆤星期假日,侨路基金会为青少年举办新年茶话会,目的是希望培养下一代的社会责任及公民意识。

今年侨路基金会、海外抗日战争纪念馆、华埠历史文化协会为主办方,翰林文教基金会、美国湖南联谊会为协办方,共同在海外抗日战争纪念馆沉浸式展厅联合举办「二战华侨参战与今天华裔参政」。

侨路基金会会长袁文表示,二战时期,海外华人华侨为提高在美华人华侨的身份及地位,纷纷代表中国、美国参军保衞国家。抗战胜利后在美华人的身份及地位确实有所提高,这都是他们用生命换来的荣耀,我们后代子孙应永记在心。今天我们身处美国,华人地位仍有待提高,最直接做法是登记选民,必须投票,也鼓励华人参政,关心我们的社区,从小培养孩子们的公民意识是非常重要的课题。

侨路基金会代表袁文、海外抗战纪念馆代表李竞芬、华埠历史文化协会代表Nancy Yu、翰林文教基金会代表高颂、美国湖南联谊会主席欧阳飞鹏等纷纷介绍自己的组织。

民选官员嘉宾有Millbrae 市长冯嘉辉;联合市副市长王耀明;旧金山第三选区市议员参选人Sharon Lai ; 退休警察局委员Larry Yee均参加了座谈会,大家鼓励同学们要成为「part of voice」。

海外抗日战争纪念馆青年部在民选官员的见证下今天正式成立。

最后一起观看《松山战役》沉浸式360度影片,和平是需要大家一起维护的,做对的事,保护自己,保护家人,保护社区,是需要勇敢站在群众当中说出我们的心声,才有可能被听到,才有可能实现!

04/06/19 Alzheimer’s Forum

On April 6th 2019, I worked as a volunteer for the Alzheimer’s Forum. I was really happy to have this experience.
We first welcomed the elders that came and lead them to the sign in area. While that happened, two people went to pass out water to the volunteers. We moved chairs to the back for the people need extra seats and then helped pass out flyers to the people in the auditorium. During the break we directed the audience towards the bathroom and reminded them that they could not bring food into the auditorium. After the forum was done, we collected their questionnaires. When everyone left, we put all the tables and chairs back into storage and gathered all the trash. We then loaded everything into the car and closed the venue.
This was a really fulfilling day for me. I am really looking forward to coming back next year.
 
– Frank Shau
 
The 13th Annual Chinese Alzheimer’s Forum was an event that I volunteered at on the 6th of April, 2019. At this event I acted as one of the volunteers who not only helped set up all the booths in the beginning but also greeted the guests at the front door, directing them to where they were supposed to go as well. I also helped to distribute pamphlets and folders to guests who needed them during the seminar, which was delivered near the latter portion of this event.
Speaking of the seminar, several medical experts were invited to this event to talk about Alzheimer’s Disease. This resulted in the spreading of awareness of the disease as a whole, albeit probably on a small scale. I feel like Alzheimer’s Disease is usually underestimated and simply looked at as a memory loss, but in reality this disease has such a more profound impact that not many people realize until they or their family member actually develops this disease.
This was probably my favorite volunteer event to participate in so far. I was able to sharpen my social skills, make new friends, and gain some more experience serving the public. Socializing with other people, particularly those in a higher age group, is something that I am not particularly fluent at. Even if it is just a small “Hello” or “Welcome,” I still feel like this experience has greatly benefited me in my people skills. Volunteering at this event also just made me feel warm in general since I know that I returned the favor to the past generations by helping them with their elderly needs.

02/09/19 Spring Festival Couplets

On February 9, 2019, BRI organized an event with Shin Shin Youth Group, Hanlin Youth Group, and LEO Club at the San Francisco General Library to write Spring Festival couplets in celebration of the Year of the Pig. BRI invited Mr. Qingnian Tang, an artist and art critic, to teach everyone how to write the couplets.
Betty Yuan, the Chairman of Hanlin Education Foundation of America, wrote the first couplets with her grandchildren. People of many races came to write the couplets, and learned a lot about Chinese writing and culture from the event. The spring festival couplets helped revive people’s interest in Chinese writing and their appreciation for Chinese culture.

中国年体验写中国字,九岁的混血双胞胎特别穿着在中国买的花布衫,高高兴兴写了“我爱中国”和“我爱写中国字”。小小方块字让人们对书写形式重燃兴趣,并使他们体味到了中国文化的多元性内涵,提升过中国年的海外价值,同时还可以促进更多非华裔美国人对中国传统文化的关注,写春联写汉字慢慢成为在美国多元文化增加一份异彩。

01/26/19 BRI SV Youth Forum

On Saturday, January 26, I went to San Mateo to help set up for the BRI Silicon Valley Youth Forum, setting up chairs and organizing the snacks and water. As people started to file in, I helped facilitate check in, collecting the names and emails of those who attended. Pretty soon, many of the speakers showed up, making everything seem more real. Finally, the time came. The seats were almost full, and there was an excited energy in the room. The event started with a few speakers who were entrepreneurs, telling their story, the trials that they went through, and how they overcame them. Then, it was time for Andrew Yang, a presidential candidate representing the Democratic Party for 2020, to speak. He not only told his story and failures as an entrepreneur, but he also highlighted the reasons he wanted to run for president. He went into detail about his organization, Venture for America, and his inspiration behind it. After hearing him talk, I felt so inspired, almost like I could do anything I set my mind to! Then, a panel started with all the speakers, which included Andrew Yang, David Wang, Sanjeev Saxena, and Chuck Ng, and it gave people the chance to ask questions. At the end of the event, we were given the chance to meet Andrew Yang, an opportunity I took without question. This event gave me we opening insight into entrepreneurship, something that I hadn’t known much about before or looked into. Not only that, but it showed how Asian Americans were starting to make an impact in society, demonstrated by the initiative to run for president of the United States.

01/01/19 New Year’s Meeting

On Jan 1, 2019, Chinese-American students and community leaders met at the Fang Libangqin Foundation Conference Hall to discuss the contributions of Chinese-American groups in the past year, and how to build solidarity in the Chinese-American community in the new year. The meeting was hosted by the founder of Bridge Road International Foundation (BRI), Betty Yuan. Many Chinese community leaders attended the meeting and spoke about their experiences. Representatives from Chinese organizations were also invited, and they spoke about their organizations’ missions. Then, students and community leaders spoke about their perspectives on topics regarding the Chinese-American community. Finally, the students were given t-shirts with the leaders’ signatures on them from BRI as keepsakes to remember the meeting. Through this meeting, I learned a lot about the political process and the point of view of the previous generation.

12/23/18 College Student Lecture

On December 23, 2018, the Hanlin Youth Department and the Silicon Valley Women’s Youth Department launched a small lecture for high school students. It was at Burson-Martsteller Center. I went to this event to listen to the lecture because I was a high school student. Two young college freshmen talked about 3 main topics. The topics were: how to prepare for college; how to do a good job as a college freshman; and how to spend your junior year and senior year in high school and be a successful college freshman. I learned a lot about the stress and the pressure of a college freshman. Even though I was just a freshman in high school, I still wanted to prepare for this pressure of a junior in high school.
The 2 guest speakers were: Mawyuan Lee, who went to Valley Christian High School, and now attends Washington University in St. Louis, and Carolyn Ge, who went to Mission San Jose High School, and now attends Harvard University. This lecture helped me a lot in setting my priorities straight. I learned that keeping a journal or planner to keep track of things was important. I learned to balance everything out. Keep the activities that you love most on top before school and grades, of course. I learned that my mental health needs to be controlled and I have to stay stress free. The two speakers talked about managing your homework time, talking about taking a break every hour or so and resting for 30 minutes, to read a book or look on your phone. They talked about not comparing yourself to others, because they might have the same stress as you do, trying your best, and going at your own pace. It is okay to be a little behind on some things because you are not yet ready for that concept or level of difficulty yet. They also reminded us that even though the SAT and the ACT are very important, your health is still number 1. No matter how important this test or grade is, you have to think of how much you sleep first, and most importantly your health. They talked about being proactive, about asking for help and building bonds with your teachers and counselors.
All the things they talked about helped form who they are today. Their lecture helped me think a lot about my priorities, about what’s most important and what’s least important.

10/07/18 Marketing Seminar

I attended Andreas Ramos’ marketing and business speech on Oct 7, 2019. Even though I wasn’t able to listen to a portion of the speech due to working on the front desk, it was still a good experience nonetheless. I was able to learn and enhance skills regarding quickly managing money, knowing where to focus to get a job after my education, and marketing in general. I now feel like I am ready to deal with the outside world after I escape the safe bubble of still being in school and not having to completely focus on my future. The speech will be vital for me if I decide to get into marketing, since it would make me becoming successful much easier than if I had not participated in it.
