【戴維斯的台東行-系列3】
以「新台灣人」戴維斯(Quincy Davis)為首,串聯起了4位各自擁有不同故事、在台灣
生活打拚的人,他們的共通點是有著相同的理念-想要幫助台灣的孩子、想要為這塊寶島
做點事,以下是他們的故事。
留著一頭黑長直髮的Grace袁甄苡3年前因在美國商會工商雜誌擔任副主編的丈夫Timothy
Ferry,而認識了戴維斯,兩人幾乎是一拍即合。
Grace從事教育工作已17年,外表與談吐很有教育者的氣質,而她一直以來的心願就是希
望幫助孩子們能有機會追求更好的環境。因此,她在3年前與戴維斯一同成立了「青少年
探索有限公司(TYGA)」,每年夏天以夏令營的形式送孩子們出國,期盼培養他們國際觀
、探索這個廣大世界。
Grace透露,當初成立TYGA時,戴維斯就允諾出資,讓袁甄苡無後顧之憂去進行他們幫助
孩子們的計畫。「我們第1年帶小孩去洛杉磯,Q大概自己掏了100萬出來。」Grace說:「
什麼樣的人願意這樣做?他真的是個很善良的人、是個慈善家。」
Grace更提到,「我們帶一群孩子們去美國,一般可能會選便宜大碗的食物,但Q堅持要讓
他們吃最好的、有機的,要求健康、安全。我們去的行程也是科學館或是有歷史文化背景
的地方,要讓孩子們學習並有收穫,絕不馬虎。」
從事工業儀表販售的劉本中則與Grace是多年好友,健談又親切的他當三年前聽聞戴維斯
的「事蹟」,心中第一個想法是「怎麼會有這麼瘋狂的人會想做這麼瘋狂的事?」
劉本中直言,他起初單純覺得TYGA需要人手,因此選擇兩肋插刀,或許自己的能力不大,
但能幫多少就幫多少,同時也正是因為他的人脈關係,讓TYGA多了許多資助,也獲得更多
有相同理念的夥伴的響應。
談到戴維斯,劉本中直言,「說感動是假的,但他真的讓我們看到,原來有人真的跟我們
這些活了一輩子的台灣人不一樣,他用不同的人生邏輯來看這塊土地,不涉及利益、政治
,我想這對孩子們是很重要的。」
同樣從事工業儀器的周敏華就是劉本中引薦的夥伴之一。他們3個月前一同聚餐,會中周
敏華提及他們公司-唐和股份有限公司會定期資助東部偏鄉地區學校小孩的早餐費用,這
讓戴維斯相當驚訝。
「Q很意外原來台灣還有偏鄉國小的小孩沒早餐吃!他馬上說他想去看看。」周敏華坦言
,他當時其實並沒有百分百把握此行真能成行,畢竟他們都有各自的工作要忙。「結果有
一天,Q打電話給我,問我何時要去,還說我們能不能明天就去。」
平時有寫日記習慣的周敏華清楚記著與戴維斯認識的那天,以及他們的談話內容。他笑說
:「Q真的是個很特別的人,他有很多內在,而他的內在比籃球更精彩,我希望大家能多
了解他,而不只是知道他是個籃球員。」
至於來自美國的Donald Wayne Singleterry在台灣已經9年,擁有美國籃球教練執照的他
專門舉辦籃球營,指導幼稚園至高中的學生。他與戴維斯在6個月前因一次訪問機會而相
識。
話不多但很有想法的Donald表示:「我很快就知道我們有相同的目標,我們都想幫助小孩
。」Donald直呼戴維斯是個相當熱情又謙虛的人,「以他的狀況,他大可以當個渾蛋,但
他不同於其它來台灣的外國人,他是真的想為這塊土地做事。」
談到和自己合作的這群夥伴,戴維斯簡單地說:「我們就是一群有相同理念、相同目標的
人,我們希望為台灣、台灣的孩子們做點事,提供他們不同的機會,試著有所改變。」
戴維斯表示:「台灣給了我機會打籃球,讓我能夠在國際舞台上對抗中國、菲律賓等強隊
,讓大家看見我,所以我也想回饋給台灣些什麼,盡我的力量讓環境、孩子們的教育變得
更好,也很高興有這些和我有相同理念的人能一起實際做點事。」
