东方之星公益俱乐部是由兴坚舞蹈学校创始人刘兴坚老师发起并创办的一家由在校学生组成并负责运作的公益慈善俱乐部。自2015年初创办以来,得到学生及家长的积极参与支持,和社会各界的广泛关注与好评。创办一年来,共组织参与了各种类型的公益活动30余次,累计社会服务时间将近1100小时,慈善筹款近1500美元。

早在俱乐部创办初期,就制定了关爱他人,服务社会的行动宗旨,并成功申办了由美国国家及社区服务机构主办的,专门为奖励公益志愿服务而设立的美国总统奖。众所周知总统奖的申请标准非常严格,以能为他人提供直接帮助和对社会产生直接影响力作为主要评定标准,并在评奖机构的严格监督下执行。美国总统奖是对遍及全美各地的志愿服务者的最高褒奖,也极大地激发了其他爱心人士积极参与到志愿服务的行列中来。

东方之星公益俱乐部一周年庆典暨2015年美国总统志愿服务奖颁奖典礼于3月12日下午在育才课后中文学校隆重举行。颁奖典礼由东方之星俱乐部理事白云主持,全体获奖学生,东方之星俱乐部成员及兴坚舞蹈学校的广大学生和家长们出席。颁奖仪式首先由俱乐部主席侯佳茵简要回顾俱乐部2015年的工作成绩,并介绍各位领导成员;然后由白云负责介绍美国总统奖的评奖标准及志愿服务的申报条件,最后由俱乐部董事长刘兴坚老师为获奖学生颁发美国总统奖获奖证书,奖牌及由美国总统奥巴马亲笔签名的贺信。

在过去的12个月里,在孩子们的积极努力下,东方之星俱乐部一共有13 位孩子达到或超过美国总统奖的标准。其中Amy Wang,Ellie Feng,  Faith Zhang,  Jasmine Zhang, Jessica Li,  Junna Chen 和Michelle Lai 七名小朋友获得11-15 岁组别的铜奖,Anna Feng, Grace Li, Iliana Rong, Katherine Zhao, Michelle Shi 和Stefanie Huang 六位小朋友获得 5-10 岁组别的铜奖或银奖。总统奖既是对孩子们过往的努力和付出的一种认可,更是对她们在未来岁月里能够坚持帮助他人,服务社会的殷切期盼。

东方之星俱乐部刚刚开始第二年的历程,在今后的岁月里,俱乐部会始终坚持培养青少年对他人的友爱之心和对社会,国家的赤子之心,积极为俱乐部成员提供多样化的志愿服务机会,引领和鼓励青少年自觉自愿地为公益事业奉献自己的力量与爱心。 “千里之行,始于足下“,东方之星俱乐部全体成员愿与广大朋友们一起努力,让志愿服务成为一种风气,一种需要,携手共建美好的明天!

 

President’s Speech

Welcome to STARS Youth Charity Club’s first President’s volunteer Service Award ceremony!

In the past year we have held dozens of events throughout San Diego, spreading our interest in dance and our love for Chinese culture by performing at various locations, including senior nursing homes, SeaWorld, and Qualcomm Stadium. Through our events, we have raised money to financially support children in Sichuan, China, and we are currently looking to contribute to more organizations and causes.

These incredible achievements have been made possible by our dedicated officers (listed below), all our parent liaisons/helpers, and our dance teacher, Xingjian Liu.

President: Emily Hou

Event Officers: Junna Chen, Amy Wang

Public Relations Officer: Ellie Feng, Kevin Li

Administration: Jasmine Zhang

Treasurer: Faith Zhang

Here, we wish to foster a mentality of compassion from a young age, that we do service not for superficial reasons, but because we realize that we have the capability to help those who are not as young and fortunate as us. When we see the smiles on the faces of the senior citizens, and when we know that the money we have raised has gone directly to help children in rural China receive an education, we know that’s why we serve; because of the happiness we bring to the community and the joy we get in return knowing that our actions have made a difference in someone else’s life.

We welcome new members! The STARS Youth Charity Club is a lot of fun and a great experience.
