Over 150 volunteers, mostly foreign, were present yesterday, Saturday, 28 September, for the annual assembly of the From Compassion to Action (FCTA) international volunteer organisation in Nanjing.
昨天，9月28日星期六，150多名志愿者，其中大部分是外国人，出席了南京举行的从同情到行动（FCTA）国际志愿者组织的年度大会。
Held in the offices of Jiangning Development Zone on Shengtai Lu, the assembly was attended by volunteers, other interested individuals and many an organization with whom FCTA cooperates, as well as some of the many charities to which the volunteers donate their time.
大会在盛泰路江宁开发区办公室举行，志愿者、其他感兴趣的个人和许多与FCTA合作的组织，以及志愿者们捐赠时间的众多慈善机构参加。
Since its inception in 2016, FCTA has been organising and cooperating in different volunteering and public welfare projects in Nanjing and other cities of Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province.
自2016年成立以来，FCTA一直在南京以及江苏省和安徽省其他城市组织和合作开展不同的志愿服务和公益项目。
FCTA also cooperates with different local and international volunteering and public welfare organisations, such as AIESEC, Jiangsu Children Welfare Foundation, China Council of Lions, Junzi School for Disabled Children, Nanjing Dibole Volunteer Service Center, Anhui Orphanage and others.
FCTA还与不同的本地和国际志愿者和公益组织合作，如AIESEC、江苏儿童福利基金会、中国狮子会、军子残疾儿童学校、南京迪博乐志愿者服务中心、安徽孤儿院等。
Among its many projects, foreign volunteer teachers go to different migrant schools in Nanjing to teach the children for AIESEC’s Migrant Children We Care (MCWC) program, charity and fund-raising events to help with the educational expenses of poor children living in rural areas of Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces, helping in the construction of a new school building for disabled children and assisting with medical checkups for disabled senior citizens, as well as the creative Human4Human campaign that served hot water to 250 sweepers and police officers during the snowfall of late 2018.
在其众多项目中，外国志愿者教师前往南京的不同移民学校，为AIESEC的“我们关心的移民儿童（MCWC）项目、慈善和筹款活动，帮助居住在江苏和安徽省农村地区的贫困儿童支付教育费用，帮助为残疾儿童建造新校舍，协助残疾老年人进行体检，以及创造性的Human4Human活动，在2018年底降雪期间为250名扫地和警官提供热水的Human4Human活动，为250名降雪期间提供热水。
Then there are the charity sales, campus tours for disabled children and the Global Food Culture Volunteer project that introduced different Pakistani cuisines to the students and volunteers of Junzi School for Disabled Children, all going to show that FCTA members are active to an almost unimaginable extent.
然后是慈善销售、残疾儿童校园之旅和全球饮食文化志愿者项目，该项目向俊子残疾儿童学校的学生和志愿者介绍了不同的巴基斯坦美食，所有这些都将表明FCTA成员的活跃程度几乎无法想象。
Yet, it was the sheer weight of numbers present at the assembly which left the biggest impression, and showed that FCTA does indeed have to hand sufficient a pool of foreign volunteers to serve in public welfare projects in and around the city of Nanjing.
然而，在大会上人数的压量给人留下了最大的印象，并表明FCTA确实必须有足够的外国志愿者来参与南京市及其周边的公共福利项目。
Since its founding, over 350 volunteers have donated their time to FCTA in the delivery of its public welfare programs. Being mainly students, with the start of the new academic year, so too new blood for the organisation. Since school started alone, 292 new volunteer members joined the group, at time of writing.
自成立以来，超过350名志愿者为FCTA奉献了他们的时间，以交付其公共福利项目。 主要是学生，随着新学年的开始，对组织来说太新鲜了。 自从学校独自开学以来，在撰写本文时，有292名新的志愿者加入了这个团体。
Impressive numbers. By way of explanation, FCTA Founder, Ali Qadir, told The Nanjinger, “A big part of them have been volunteering back home in their high school life. But here it is not so easy to find those opportunities. So then people hear that there is this an organisation sharing in such opportunities and it is easy to join. This is like a big group of people”.
令人印象深刻的数字。 作为解释，FCTA创始人Ali Qadir告诉《南京人》：“他们中的很大一部分人在高中生活中一直在家里做志愿者。 但在这里，要找到这些机会并不容易。 因此，人们听说有一个组织分享这种机会，很容易加入。 这就像一大群人。”
While the cutting edge of organisations such as FCTA will always be time spent by the volunteers in contact with the people they seek to assist, so there also are many who simply do not have the time available to be a part of such memory-making moments. Yet, volunteering is more than this. Also needed are designers, social media enthusiasts, drivers and people with experience of fundraising. Just sharing this story is a volunteer effort that makes a difference.
虽然像FCTA这样的组织的前沿始终是志愿者花时间与他们寻求帮助的人联系，但也有很多人根本没有时间成为这种创造记忆的时刻的一部分。 然而，志愿服务不止于此。 还需要设计师、社交媒体爱好者、司机和有筹款经验的人。 仅仅分享这个故事就是志愿者的努力，会带来改变。
Those interested in becoming volunteer can reach out to FCTA via their official WeChat account (fcta2016).
