募款不易,志工團推出園遊會義賣,圖為迦納志工團。(迦納志工團提供)

經濟不景氣,學生愛心也受阻。清華大學本年度組成尼泊爾、坦尚尼亞、迦納、印尼國際志工團,卻因金融海嘯,募款困難。志工團將在今年七月陸續出發,目前各資金缺口最少為85萬,最多為180萬元。


「去年的贊助廠商,今年劈頭就說沒錢。」坦尚尼亞團謝岳霖表示,他打了近30通募款電話,半數都被無奈的表示愛莫能助,其餘廠商看過企劃書,仍表示公司營運狀況不佳,資金不足。根據清華大學課外活動指導組資料,去年有廠商一次捐出20萬元,今年贊助最高金額僅3萬。


印尼團將協助印尼偏遠鄉鎮建置社區數位學習中心、為當地師生舉辦E化培訓,預算為180萬元。團長中文系大二林靚曄表示,該團成團最晚,最近剛完成企劃書,準備開始募款。耳聞其他三團的募款情況,「超擔心募不到錢!」


迦納團結合第二階段APEC數位機會中心計畫(ADOC 2.0),縮減當地數位落差。團長外語系大二孫立庭說,今年所需資金為140萬,團員從4月初開始募款,找了近百間廠商,目前確定籌得的資金不到1千元。「去年有竹科廠商贊助20萬,今年找竹科,都以不景氣、經費不足,被婉轉回絕。」


坦尚尼亞志工團去年赴沿海地區國小考察,今年將帶著25台二手電腦與設備重返舊地,建置電腦教室,教導當地老師以具備電腦教學能力。副團長工工系鄭中嘉表示,部分二手電腦需維修,加上約10萬元的龐大運費,預算比去年多30萬,目前還需100萬經費,另外需募集隨身碟,以便當地老師進行教學。


「我們問商家老闆是否可以給予協助,老闆回答:『我們才需要協助。』」尼泊爾醫療志工團從去年開始募款,現在仍需85萬資金,以及前往山區所需的帳棚、睡袋。總務宋昆樺說,登山用品的價格比想像中高,每位團員已自掏腰包2萬元,作為週轉資金,「壓歲錢都拿出來了。」


募款不順,團員除了積極拉贊助,也另謀生財之道。坦尚尼亞團員於新竹地區掃街募款,上週(4/26)剛落幕的清大校慶,與喜憨兒烘焙坊合作推出捐款送手工餅乾,連帶團的法籍龍神父都加入推銷;尼泊爾團參加各園遊會擺攤,販售尼泊爾手工藝品,最遠跑到台北市麗山高中,義賣過程中,宋昆樺表示商品遭殺價令團員不知所措。


各團皆已申請青輔會、教育部等國際志工獎學金,學校亦提供逐夢獎學金,目前四團皆已申請,尚待校方審核。去年國際志工團經費有三至四成是逐夢獎學金補助,團員皆表示:「希望能通過審核,減輕資金壓力。」


讀者若有意協助,可匯款台灣銀行新竹分行,戶名:國立清華大學401專戶,帳號015036070041,註明「贊助國際志工團」,或指定捐贈志工團名稱。

Food-Cassava

Cassava

It is one of the Ghanaian staple food ingredient called Cassava which is a kind of yam but not really. Ghanaians always mash it into one ingredient of Fufu or face wall. The cassava, yuca, manioc, or mandioca (Manihot esculenta) is a woody shrub of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge family) native to South America that is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root, a major source of carbohydrates. Cassava is the third largest source of carbohydrates for human food in the world, with Africa its largest center of production. The flour made of the roots is called tapioca.

USES
Cooked in various ways, cassava is used in a variety of dishes. The soft-boiled root has a delicate flavor and can replace boiled potatoes in many uses: as an accompaniment for meat dishes, or made into purées, dumplings, soups, stews, gravies, etc.. Deep fried (after boiling or steaming), it can replace fried potatoes, with a distinctive flavor. Tapioca and foufou are made from the starchy cassava root flour. Tapioca is an essentially flavourless starchy ingredient, or fecula, produced from treated and dried cassava (manioc) root and used in cooking. It is similar to sago and is commonly used to make a milky pudding similar to rice pudding.Cassava flour, also called tapioca flour or tapioca starch, can also replace wheat flour, and is so-used by some people with wheat allergies, such as coeliac disease. Boba tapioca pearls are made from cassava root. It is also used in cereals for which several tribes in South America have used it extensively. It is also used in making cassava cake, a popular pastry.


The juice of the bitter cassava, boiled to the consistence of thick syrup and flavored with spices, is called Cassareep. It is used as a basis for various sauces and as a culinary flavoring, principally in tropical countries. It is exported chiefly from Guyana.




The leaves can be pounded to a fine chaff and cooked as a palaver sauce in Sierra Leone, usually with palm oil but vegetable oil can also be used. Palaver sauces contain meat and fish as well. It is necessary to wash the leaf chaff several times to remove the bitterness.In many countries, significant research has begun to evaluate the use of cassava as an ethanol biofuel.

In China, dried tapioca are used among other industrial applications as raw material for the production of consumable alcohol and emerging non-grain feedstock of ethanol fuel, which is a form of renewable energy to substitute petrol (gasoline). Under the Development Plan for Renewable Energy in the 11th Five-Year Plan in China, the target is to increase the application of ethanol fuel by non-grain feedstock to 2 million tonnes, and that of bio-diesel to 200 thousand tonnes by 2010. This will be equivalent to a substitute of 10 million tonnes of petroleum. As a result, cassava (tapioca) chips have gradually become a major source for ethanol production.

Food-Rice Ball


This dish is my most favorite because of rice balls. You see, the soup is hot and spicy and a bit oily. Ghanaians will cook either antelope, chicken or fish together in the soup and then put rice balls or fufu at their will. Rice balls taste like sticky plain rice and eat with the hot and spicy soup definitely perfect match!


這道餐是我最喜愛的迦納菜之一.雖然我不太喜歡Fufu,但我很喜歡又熱又辣的fufu湯頭. 你可以用羚羊肉(沒錯,就是羚羊),雞肉或魚肉燉煮. 你也可以選擇加入fufu麵糰或是米飯球. 米飯球吃起來介於白飯及稀飯中間,黏黏的,但QQ有彈性. 喜愛吃辣的朋友絕對不能錯過的好料.

Food-Fried rice

Fried rice is a common food in Ghana. But the different from Chinese fried rice is without meats. The rice is only with sliced vegetables or add some soybean sauce stir-fry. So, they will put other meats beside the rice, like fried chicken or stir-fried chicken and also salads. It is a west-style food.
雙色炒飯
炒飯在迦納是很普遍的食物.但他們的炒飯只有碎青菜或者再加醬油拌炒. 所以還會放其他的肉類在飯旁,像是炸雞或炒雞肉等. 另外再加點沙拉.是一道西式的吃法.

Food-Fufu

Fufu, one of the staple foods and made of mashed cassavas and plantains. After being fermented, put it into a pot to steam prepared.

Once finished, there will be a yellow paste, similar to Chinese Maji. Then Ghanaians usually put the paste in a spicy and hot meat soup. That's all.

By the way, they eat fufu by hands, not fork or spoon.

Face wall
It is similar to Fufu but without mashed plantains inside. Why does it call face wall? They said it can make potent sexual instinct act. So you have to face wall to eat, for men.

Fufu, 傳統的迦納菜之一.將cassava和芭蕉搗碎後,再發酵,最後再放進鍋子裡蒸熟. 當fufu做好後,會放入又紅又辣的肉湯中一起吃. Fufu吃起來的口感很像我們的麻薯, QQ黏黏的. 迦納人吃這道菜是要先洗手, 因為要用手吃哦!

Food-Redred

The stewed beans are red and fried-plantains are also red. So this dish calls Redred. It is a funndy name, Red Red. Haha!
The white grains are made of dried cassava called "gari" . A mouthful of plantain and the other stewed beans are matching very well.
I feel it is a little greasy because of oily fried plantains and stewed beans. Now that come to hana, it is still worth tasting it for sure.

紅紅
為什麼叫紅紅呢?因為燉豆子是紅色的,炸芭蕉也是紅色的,二個加給來就是紅紅啦! 真可愛的名字.我覺得這道菜第一次吃還不賴,可是吃久了會覺得有點膩. 因為燉豆子很油,炸芭蕉也油油的. 不過來到迦納還是要試試看哦!
