2010年4月14日晨,我国青海省玉树县连续发生了两次地震,其中最强震级达到里氏7.1级,地震震中就位于县城附近。突如其来的灾难给玉树县及周边地区造成重大人员伤亡和财产损失,给灾区人民带来了巨大的创伤和痛苦。目前,全国人民纷纷向灾区人民伸出援手,竭尽全力帮助灾区人民重建家园。
这场灾难不仅震撼了全国人民的灵魂,也深深牵动着西南交通大学的来华留学生们的心。来自巴基斯坦、卢旺达、叙利亚、贝宁等近30个国家的留学生积极行动,自发组织捐款献爱心活动,支持灾区人民抗震救灾、重建家园。留学生们还在网络上积极向他们所在国的朋友、家人介绍地震情况,积极募捐。
留学生们表示,中国人民是特别友好的,他们在西南交通大学学习也得到老师同学无私的关心和帮助。没人可以预料到灾难的发生,但无论如何,他们一定会与灾区人民站在一起,并希望有一天能前往灾区,以一名志愿者的身份帮助灾区人民。他们坚信:慈善和帮助是对疾病和灾难最好的治疗,我们一定能克服苦难,战胜灾难,重建家园。
西南交通大学留学生此次自发组织的募捐活动,体现了博大的国际主义精神。截至5月6日,在校来华留学生捐款总计人民币1405元整。国际处将该笔捐款上缴学校相关部门,并转达留学生们的爱心。
