哭泣非洲, 辦學點燃希望

By |December 22nd, 2021|Categories: News|

即將進行割禮的女孩,滿臉恐懼。     我們團隊的志願工作者從2013年起,一直在西非塞內加爾做義工。親眼看見許多令人心碎但又充滿希望的故事,他們的遭遇使我們不得不奮起努力。 女孩割禮 千年陋習 女性割禮(Female Genital Mutilation),是非洲幾千年來的陋習,為了保持女性的純潔,不被男性污染,女孩從出生一周起,就要剃光頭,用小刀在頭上切幾道傷口,以後隔幾年就要在頭上切幾道傷口。等到青春期,就要有一個只有女性參加的儀式。 成年女人戴著面具,唱著古老的歌曲,將被宰割的少女抓手按腳,由一位沒有任何醫學訓練的老女人,不用麻藥,更沒有無菌操作,只是用一把刀片將少女的大、小陰唇甚至是陰蒂切掉,用麻線將陰道縫合,只留一個小口,讓經血流出。因此許多女性手術後,無法排尿;尿道和陰道造成瘺管,感染發熱,死亡率很高。劇烈的疼痛讓所有的女孩子望而生畏,但是社會習俗卻像一把巨大的風扇,把她們推向苦難的深淵。 安娜帶著女兒抗議對女孩進行割禮。      索馬里女詩人Dahabo Musa在1988年寫下了一首詩,將女性割禮給婦女帶來的痛苦描述為「女性的三重悲苦」:手術本身長達十幾年過程的痛苦;結婚之夜,陰道重新切開的痛苦;生孩子的時候,再切一次,讓孩子的頭從產道裡分娩而出的痛苦。 女詩人沒有說出來的第四重悲苦是,如果丈夫因為某種原因要離開妻子外出,家裡的女人們會將這位妻子的外陰重新縫合,等待丈夫回家,這位可憐的妻子,又要重複以上的痛苦。 2000年,安娜女士懷著為社會做貢獻的志向,隻身一人來到了塞內加爾痲瘋村──法地閣,不久她就遇到了一個大挑戰。有一天一位少女偷偷地告訴她,她不得不去做女性割禮,邀請她去參加她的切除儀式。安娜女士瞭解到了什麼是女性割禮以後,立即對這個女孩說,「我要去抗議。」 完成割禮的女孩,親友們給了她2000非洲法郎作為賀禮。     安娜女士的抗議,猶如一滴雨水掉入了一個沉悶的大湖,沒有激起任何迴響,這個女孩被七、八個婦女按住手腳,在沒有任何麻醉和無菌的條件下,硬生生地割去了女孩的一部分性器官。完成割禮後的女孩,親友們給了她2000非洲法郎(約3美元)作為賀禮。 在痲瘋村法地閣,百分之百的中年以上的女性都接受了割禮。如果女孩子不受割禮,全村的人都認為她是污穢不潔的,她將嫁不出去。 怎麼辦?怎麼辦?安娜女士的心中像被火灼燒一樣,熾烈的疼痛讓她夜不能眠,一定要救救這些女孩子。 乞討的男孩滿臉憂鬱。 男孩乞討 愁容滿面 2013年5月在去痲瘋村的路上,我們醫療隊停車加油,一群衣衫襤褸的孩子圍住我們的車要錢要飯。 其中有一個孩子,皺著眉頭,穿了一件大人的T恤衫,髒兮兮的皮膚上長滿了疥蟎。我們給了他們一些麵包,憂鬱男孩展露出笑容。 乞討的男孩得到了麵包後綻放笑容。     為什麼成群的男孩子都在街上要飯?為什麼他們眼中沒有光彩只有痛苦?為什麼他們小小的年齡卻有大人一般壓力山大的愁容?為什麼沒有女孩子要飯?女孩子應該更加容易要到錢財?當地同工們讓我知道了一個巨大蜘蛛網般的黑幕。 麻利埠(Marabout)是一個分布在西非各國的伊斯蘭教育機構,歷史上許多伊斯蘭的教師和宗教領袖都被稱為麻利埠,他們是屬於伊斯蘭兄弟會的一個分支。 圍著汽車乞討的男孩。     在塞內加爾,人均壽命50歲,每一個婦女平均生產5個孩子,嬰兒平均死亡率50%。 因為大部分家庭裡孩子有一半都養不活,麻利埠們便說:「反正你們有一半的孩子要死去,還不如交給我們?」他們半哄半騙地將貧窮的家庭五歲以上的孩子騙到手「免費代養和教育」。絕大部分的窮人家不放心把女孩子交給外人,所以只會把男孩子交給他們。 這些可憐的孩子只要一到麻利埠的手中,每個孩子每天就必須上交200非洲法郎,也就是40美分。塞內加爾的成人也只能一天賺取2000非洲法郎。可蘭經規定,成人每天必須將收入的十分之一救助窮人,因此這筆錢就由麻利埠們手下的孩子們代為收取。 典型的麻利埠學校。 麻利埠們 占地為王 僅僅在塞內加爾,大約有5萬多麻利埠孩子在街上要飯乞錢,麻利埠每天就有100萬非洲法郎的進帳。天長日久,他們積累了巨大的財富,他們包攬訴訟,搶奪民財,強拉孩子加入伊斯蘭教,他們用金錢和宗教來影響和操縱國家。 我們有一次走過一條高速公路,看見在高速上有一個莊園,所有的汽車都必須彎道繞過它,當地同工告訴我們,這是一位麻利埠大佬的家,他占住這塊土地,沒有人敢惹他。 2013年3月3日,至少9名麻利埠孩子因為沒有乞討到200非洲法郎的定額,被關在一個黑房間裡。搖曳的燭光照耀著愁眉苦臉的孩子,飢餓的嘈蟲發出咕咕的響聲。突然蠟燭燈台倒了下來,火苗點燃了乾燥的牆壁。 「救命,救命!」孩子們拚命搖著緊鎖的大門,不到幾分鐘,烈焰吞沒了孩子們的哭喊,鮮活的生命化做一縷青煙。 慘案發生以後,紐約時報和一些法國報紙作了詳細報導,塞內加爾總統Macky Sall發表講話,聲稱一定要嚴懲兇手,可是兩個月以後,法庭認為這些孩子的死亡是因為「上帝要他們回家。」所有涉案的麻利埠被無罪釋放。塞內加爾的大街小巷依然隨處可見「免費代養和上學」的苦命孩子。 這些孩子到了青春反叛期,麻利埠不願意管束,就把他們趕出學校。他們大字不識,沒有謀生技能,只有偷盜搶劫,給社會帶來巨大不穩定因素。所以我們在塞內加爾,晚上從不出去。白天也只有在當地同工的帶領下去一些安全的地方。 孩子們的悲慘遭遇,像一把鈍刀磨銼撕裂我們的心。怎麼辦?我們沒有錢,沒有資源,沒有影響政府的能力,也無法正面與麻利埠衝突。但是我們一直認為我們應該做點什麼?雖然我們無法救所有的孩子,但是我們覺得救了一個是本分,救多了就是賺到,我們必須做出我們的貢獻。 非洲哭泣團隊一致認定辦學校是最好的辦法。有一天,奧利弗先生把我們帶到基地空地說:「我們十年前就買了這塊地,因為沒有錢,無法蓋學校,你們是否有辦法?」 作者徐俊與奧利弗先生在基地的空地上。     回到美國,我們立即成立了由徐俊醫生擔任主席的美國非洲哭泣基金會,美國政府也很快正式批准我們的免稅待遇。 面對一張張痛苦的小臉,無處不在的需求,我們只有很小的信心,做一點算一點,信心就像一顆芥菜種,開始很小,慢慢卻長成了一棵參天大樹。 八年來,在全世界各地愛心人士的支持下,在世界日報讀者的關懷下,我們從無到有,居然建成了技術學校,其間許多動人的故事,時刻激勵我們前行。 安德森和安德麗莎還有女兒艾蘭娜,非洲炎熱的陽光把一家三口曬得黝黑。 巴西夫婦 非洲扎根 巴西聖保羅社會工作者安德森先生在一個慈善活動中,認識了安德麗莎,一位非常漂亮的銀行高級經理。他們二人一起為聖保羅的窮人送餐,一起辦窮人孩子的夏令營。共同的志向,讓他們產生愛情並結為夫妻,二人在聖保羅的高級住宅區購買了一個三房一廳的單元,並擁有兩部好車,生活充滿了希望。 安德森先生在非洲。     2012年他們認識了在幾內亞比索辦學校做慈善事工的奧利弗先生,奧利弗先生告訴他們,能夠為改變別人的生命,拯救被麻利埠摧殘的男孩子,拯救被封建陋習被迫接受割禮的女孩子,將是他們一輩子最幸福的事情。 奧利弗先生的話,深深地感動這對夫妻,他們變賣了自己的房子和汽車,拿著所有的錢,來到了比索。為了拯救這些孩子,他們到處募捐,開辦學校,他們也將自己帶來的錢投入到學校,並且在比索買了一處住所,決心在非洲扎下根來。 2014年,奧利弗先生告訴安德森夫婦,我們在塞內加爾基地正在修建技術學校,需要他們去支援。望著剛剛購買不久,花費了許多精力和時間裝修的新居,他們二話不說就賣了。 由於非洲法郎大量貶值,他們只賣了6000美元,帶去了基地。他們一到基地,就聽說基地需要購買一部皮卡車,正好6000美元,他們二話不說,就把自己口袋的錢掏了出來。他們用剩下的錢買了一張床,成了他們僅有的財產。 金錢可以買來許多東西,但是不一定可以買來高尚,不久安德麗莎就懷孕了。我對他們說:「你們的家也需要金錢,為什麼不給自己留一些?」安德麗莎說:「為了非洲的孩子,我願意捨棄一切!」 我的眼睛濕潤了,無私的靈魂像天火一樣,照亮了非洲貧瘠的夜空。為了拯救非洲孩子他們獻上一切。我們暗暗地下了決心,一定要拚命工作,籌措資金,把學校建成。 [...]

大砍刀下的感恩

By |December 22nd, 2021|Categories: News|

大砍刀下的感恩 徐俊2021年12月10日   巴蒂斯塔牧师是巴西长老会派到塞内加尔的宣教士,他们一家在那里已经六年了,今年11月17日他给我们发来了紧急要求代祷。 “你好我的兄弟姐妹们!这个黎明对我们来说太恐怖了!凌晨2点30分,一群人翻墙打开了大门。我们的卫兵尤里乌斯被惊醒后发现是抢匪就试图逃跑,这些人用大砍刀逼住他,然后走到厨房门口。我的妻子黛博拉听到了噪音,把我叫醒了!我起身走到厨房门口。我看到小偷试图用撬棍破门。我开始从里面扶着门,大声呼救。  我们的同事露西玛尖叫着,在绝望中和黛博拉一起把女儿们带到我们的房间,并呼叫胡丽娅快过来。他们设法打破了厨房的门,但我把门挡住了让他们不要进入。他们不停地推,我从里面尖叫着抓住门。有一名劫匪敲了敲前门,露西玛以为是胡丽娅就开了门,他们进入后,用大砍刀和斧头对准我,我没有与他们继续抗争。 他们使劲推搡我,打破了我办公室的门,逼着我告诉他们藏钱的保险箱,这里面有用于建堂的3600 美元,和用于扶贫的1400美元。他们打我,并索要车钥匙,得手后将我们关在房间里就逃跑了。 感谢上帝,女儿们只听到了尖叫声,黛博拉用我们的被子挡住了她们。上帝是奇妙的,将我们从狮子口中拯救出来!魔鬼对我们的项目进展感到愤怒!赞美主!我们走在正确的道路上!为我们、我们的心灵和我们的财务祷告!上帝会保佑的!  🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 若昂·巴蒂斯塔牧师 - 塞内加尔🇸🇳” 在我们收到上面的代祷要求以后,我们华人弟兄姐妹立即为他们祷告。 第二天,安娜牧师报告“ 感谢所有为巴蒂斯塔牧师和他的家人祈祷的人。警方找回了这辆车。  🙏荣耀归于上帝。” 但是他们的钱没有被追回,巴蒂斯塔牧师心里非常焦急,这是建堂和济贫的款项,没有了这笔钱,主的事工无法继续。 巴蒂斯塔牧师虽然经过了死荫幽谷,但他还是不住地感谢神,让他像但以理一样,脱离了狮子的口。他的感恩祷告,感动了许多弟兄姐妹。有一位在威郡华人基督教会(WCCC)的姐妹,愿意捐献$2,500 美元,再加上“非洲哭泣”捐献$2,500 美元,立即补齐了亏空。我们感谢这位爱心姐妹的捐献,也感谢大家的祷告。我们是主的精兵,向神祷告的团队。 安娜牧师报告:“我今天早上和他说话了……他哭了很多……他简直不敢相信。这是来自上帝的奇妙神迹,他的信心大大更新了。感谢你们,现在成为上帝的工具。” 最新警方消息,这批匪帮共有十人,作案以后,第三天又去抢劫一家中国公司。报警后,警方与匪徒发生枪战,其中一名主犯被击毙,一名受伤,其余八名被捕。虽然钱不知去向,但是正义得到伸张,感谢上帝🙏。 弟兄姐妹,我们的非洲宣教士们,每天都在与艰苦的环境和难以忍受的罪犯作斗争,我们“非洲哭泣”的基地,有三位带枪的保安和两条猎狗,依然无法避免入室偷盗抢劫的行为。我们的宣教士们,从来不敢单身一人出门。但是,安娜牧师在那里过了24年,奥利弗牧师从1975年起,一直在那里传道。 “谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢?难道是患难吗?是困苦吗?是逼迫吗?是饥饿吗?是赤身露体吗?是危险吗?是刀剑吗?如经上所记: 我们为你的缘故终日被杀;人看我们如将宰的羊。然而,靠着爱我们的主,在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。”(罗马书 8:35-37 和合本) 阿们! 如果您心中有感动,愿意支持我们的非洲事工,请写支票给Africa Cries Out, 寄给Jun Xu, MD,1171 E Putnam Avenue, Riverside, CT06878, USA, 或者Zelle:Africacriesout@gmail.com 您将会收到美国国税局认可的免税收据。 我们团队郑重宣告,您的捐款100%用于非洲人民,我们没有一分钱行政费用,我们团队去非洲,全部自费!感谢您的爱心支持!请访问我们的网站,您将可以看到我们的全部信息。如果您愿意参加我们的事工,请和徐俊医生联系。 徐俊微信 :jun9174343767 电子邮件:Africacriesout@gmail.com 公共微信号:LifeExploring (人生天路) 网页:http://www.africacriesout.org             https://africacriesout.net
