黑利伯瑞国际学校【升旗仪式】眼中有爱 每一个生命都值得被尊重

　　每年12月3日是“国际残疾人日”，黑利伯瑞为进一步弘扬中华民族扶弱助残的传统美德，培养学生树立尊重、关爱残疾人的意识，营造文明、进步、和谐的校园环境。我校于12月1日，清晨，组织举行以宣传“国际残疾人日”为主题的升旗仪式。

　　今天的升旗仪式由黑利伯瑞高中部Purple House 的段佳汝和王弘懿两位同学主持。由于天气原因，升旗仪式通过校园广播系统在室内举行。

　　在庄严隆重的升旗仪式上，师生们饱含深情的进行了主题讲话，倡导大家用关爱之心和温暖的行动帮助残疾人，表达了对残疾人自尊、自强、自立、自信精神的敬佩之情。倡议全体学生从身边做起，从小事做起，在生活中奉献爱心，关心和帮助残疾人。

　　师生演讲，国际残疾人日主持演讲

　　让我们失望的事情：

　　然而，与每天醒来之后无法走路或无法使用我们的手臂相比，这一切都只是小事。如果有一天我们处于那样一种状态，那么穿衣服，刷牙或者爬楼梯对我们大多数人来说都将是无法克服的困难。

　　国际残疾人日(12月3日)是联合国自1992年以来倡导的国际纪念活动。人们在地球上的各个角落成功举办了不同程度的纪念活动。 纪念日旨在促进对残疾人问题的理解，并动员大家保护残疾人的尊严，权利和福祉。它还力求提高人们对残疾人融入政治，社会，经济和文化生活各个方面的收益的认识。 每年推广一个不同的主题。

　　前几年的主题是：

　　* 1998年：“艺术，文化与独立生活”

　　* 2002年：“独立生活与可持续生活”

　　* 2004年:“没有我们就没有关于我们的一切”(这句口号是用来传达这样一种思想，即如果受到政策影响的团体成员没有充分和直接的参与，任何代表都不应决定任何政策)

　　* 2007年：“残疾人的体面劳动”

　　当前的2019年主题是：“促进残疾人领导和参与”

　　最后，我引用Easter Seals的一句话，“关于残疾的最糟糕的事情是人们在看见了这个人之前先看到了他的残疾”。

　　让我们记住，在我们内心深处，超越我们的物质形态和我们的能力，是我们真实自我的本质。让我们记住，当我们遇到那些身体有残疾的人时，他们是有自己的权利的人，而不只是残疾人。

　　谢谢大家，祝大家身体健康，度过美好的一天。

　　Hosting Teacher Speech on International Day of Persons with Disabilities

　　- by Genevieve Ohlson de Fine, Head of Purple House

　　Things that get us down:

　　-A bad day at work

　　-Bad news

　　-Tooth ache

　　-Coming down with flu

　　Yet this is all very small in comparison to waking up every day and not being able to walk or use our arms. The very act of getting dressed or brushing our teeth or climbing a flight of stairs to most of us would be insurmountable should we ever find ourselves in this condition one day.

　　International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3) is an international observance promoted by the United Nations since 1992. It has been observed with varying degrees of success around the planet. The observance of the Day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of people with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of people with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. Each year promotes a different theme.

　　Themes from previous years have been:

　　* 1998: "Arts, Culture and Independent Living"

　　* 2002: "Independent Living and Sustainable Livelihoods"

　　* 2004: "Nothing About Us Without Us" (a slogan used to communicate the idea that no policy should be decided by any representative without the full and direct participation of members of the group(s) affected by that policy)

　　* 2007: "Decent Work for Persons with Disabilities"

　　The theme of 2019 is currently:

　　2019: "Promoting the participation of persons with disabilities and their leadership”

　　And finally, I’ll leave you with a quote:

　　“The worst thing about a disability is that people see It before they see You” by Easter Seals.

　　Let’s remember that deep inside us, past our physical form and our abilities, is the essence of our true selves. It helps to remember that when we encounter those with physical disabilities, they are a person in their own right, not their disability.

　　Thank you, and enjoy having an amazing, physically-able day. Appreciate your very normal wonderful physical faculties.

　　教师代表Gen Ohlson老师和Grace老师讲话。

　　中华民族自古以来歌颂助人为乐，将关爱别人作为全人类的美德，黑利伯瑞倡导尽所能给予别人带来关爱和帮助，让所有人同享一片蓝天，共同享受生活的美好!

　　通过教育活动，在学生心中埋下了一颗爱的种子，让大家知道在生活中，面对残疾人，我们不应有歧视，不应有隔阂，要用实际行动将爱传递给更多人。

　　学生演讲

　　一些小伙伴们，他们的一生，只能以黑暗为伴，与无声为侣。甚至有的人，精神世界一片混沌。他们有一个共同的名字——残疾儿童。1992年10月14日，联合国第四十七届大会通过了决议，确定每年12月3日为“世界残疾人日”。今年12月3日我们迎来了第20个“世界残疾人日”。许多动作对我们来说轻而易举，对肢残人来讲却是一种奢望;缤纷的色彩对我们来说司空见惯，对盲人来讲却是一种幻想;美妙的自然之声对我们来说习以为常，对聋哑者来说确实一个遥远的梦。

　　据统计，我国现有残疾人六千多万，由于其自身功能障碍，社会上还有一部分人对残疾人歧视、偏见，使他们在工作、学习、生活中遇到很多困难，成为一个更是需要关心和帮助的弱势群体。目前，全国有1000万左右贫困残疾人的基本生活尚得不到保障，我们共同享受着温暖的阳光，自然给了我们同样的感怀，然而生活却给了我们不同的遭遇，但是他们也渴望温暖，渴望与我们一样博览群书。我们要为他们多献出一份爱心，多做一点力所能及的事情，多一点温馨友善的目光，多带去一声声亲切的问候、一回回悄悄地让道、一次次主动地让座……让他们获得同健康人一样的掌声，享受同健康人一样的阳光。

　　自古以来，有许许多多残疾人自学成才，自强不息，身残志不残，如战国时期的孙膑下肢残疾，却写下了著名的孙子兵法，物理学家霍金、柔道冠军刘思雅也同样如此理解、尊重、关心和帮助残疾人是中华民族的传统美德，在第18个国际残疾人日到来之际，让我们再次关注残疾人的生活，偶从挪开盲道上的障碍物，到学习一句表达问候的手语，再到耐心听完他们的艰难表述。让我们用手架桥，用心感悟，让爱永存，让和谐之音回响的更远!

　　Some little friends, in their lifetime, can only be accompanied by darkness and silent companions. Some people even have a chaotic spiritual world. They have a common name-children with disabilities. On October 14, 1992, the forty-seventh session of the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution establishing December 3 as "World Day of Disabled Persons". On December 3 this year, we ushered in the 20th World Day of Disabled Persons.

　　Many actions are easy for us, but a kind of extravagant hope for the handicapped; colorful colors are common to us, but a fantasy for the blind; the beautiful voice of nature is accustomed to us, A distant dream for the deaf.

　　According to statistics, there are more than 60 million people with disabilities in our country. Due to their own dysfunction, there are still some people in the society who discriminate against and prejudice people with disabilities, making them face many difficulties in work, study, and life. Vulnerable groups who need care and help.

　　At present, the basic lives of about 10 million poor people with disabilities in the country are not guaranteed. We enjoy the warm sunshine together and naturally give us the same feelings. However, life has given us different experiences, but they are hungry and eager. Warm and eager to browse the books as much as we do.

　　Understanding, respecting, caring and helping disabled people are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. On the arrival of the 18th International Day of Disabled People, let us once again pay attention to the lives of disabled people, from removing obstacles on the blind road to learning a sentence.

　　Sign language for greetings, and patiently listen to their difficult expressions.

　　Let's build bridges with our hands, feel with our hearts, let love last forever, and let the sound of harmony echo farther!

　　学生代表周易晓和刘照照带来主题演讲。
