“大学生志愿服务西部计划”由共青团中央、教育部、财政部、人事部共同组织实施。2003年8月底,在“到西部去、到基层去、到祖国和人民最需要的地方去”的嘹亮歌声中,首批参加西部计划的上万名高校毕业生辞别亲朋,陆续踏上西部沃土。200多天里,在乡村学校,在基层卫生院,在田间地头,在困难群众家中,都留下了大学生志愿者无私奉献、锻炼成长的足迹。服务之余,他们还以日记的形式记录了自己的思想体会、人生感悟。这些日记展现了当代大学生朝气蓬勃、积极向上的精神面貌,体现了大学生志愿者强烈的社会责任感和脚踏实地、艰苦奋斗的工作态度,读来令人感动和鼓舞。从本期起,本刊将联合团中央青年志愿者工作部开辟专栏,连续选登西部志愿者日记,以飨读者。欢迎供稿、来信。 “College Students Volunteer Service Western Plan ” by the Communist Youth League Central Committee, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Personnel jointly organized and implemented. At the end of August 2003, among the brilliant songs of “going to the west, going to the grassroots level, going to the places where the motherland and people are most needed”, the first batch of tens of thousands of university graduates participating in the western plan said goodbye to their relatives and friends one after another Western fertile soil. More than 200 days, in rural schools, grass-roots hospitals, in the fields, in the homes of the poor, have left a volunteer dedication to college students, training and development footprint. In addition to their services, they also recorded their own thoughts and feelings in the form of diary. These diaries show the energetic and progressive mental outlook of contemporary college students. They reflect the strong sense of social responsibility and down-to-earth and hard-working attitude of college students volunteers. Reading is impressive and inspiring. Starting from this issue, we will open a special column for the Youth Volunteers Work Department of the Central Government Youth League to continuously select diaries for the western volunteers to readers. Welcome to feed, letter.
