Saving LBD救助 LBD

Launched a “Saving Little Brother Dragon (LBD)” project in a farmer’s village. During a visit to BigBall supporters in Jilin province, James met this intellectually challenged young man, nicknamed Little Brother Dragon (小龙哥)by his family. He is a small built young man who has suffered from brain damage since childhood due to eating his parent’s diabetic medicine as candy. His father who was a decent and honest farmer passed away a couple of years ago after a tragic accident involving his farm equipment. His mother is a loving lady who is now working odd farm jobs to care for this son while recovering from the grief of her husband’s passing. This family is in need of help particularly due to the behavior problems from Little Brother Dragon (LBD) who is apparently in a downward spiral. He started to lie and steal liquor from his family and family friends to get drunk. In early August, he drank too much of the stolen liquor and also took his mother’s medicine to escape from his mental hell. He got so sick and tried to induce vomiting by poking his own throat with a tree branch which caused bleeding from his esophagus and had to be hospitalized with blood transfusion. This also happened twice before during the last 2 years and his bad behavior has caused so much misery to his mother that all her relatives became very angry that they used harsh language and physical punishment at this young man as James observed during hospital visits. With the approval from the BECHA Board, a proposal was made to LBD’s family to give him a last chance to climb out of his vicious cycle by using positive reinforcement to reward him for good behavior. A detailed plan was approved by his family and also supported by the village leaders. The goal is to provide positive energy in correcting his behavior problems by giving him small cash rewards (to reduce his need to steal from others) for good behavior and to fine him for bad behaviors. A notebook is used to document his behavior daily and a nightly review is conducted by his mother. Meanwhile, the village leaders are trying to find people who can teach him how to make handicrafts, such as weaving baskets, to be purchased by BigBall for potential exhibitions in the future. Initial results during the 1st month have been encouraging with LBD’s behavior significantly improved (over 90% of days without any bad behavior while helping his mother with farm work and he has also quit drinking alcohols to save money). We continue to pray for LBD in his success to gain self-respect/confidence and to live a happier life.

在一個農村發起「拯救小龍哥」計畫。唐宗英在吉林省探訪碧波支持者期間，認識了這位智能障礙的年輕人，家人給他取了小名叫「小龍哥」。他身材瘦小，小時候把父母的糖尿病藥當糖果吃，從此腦部受損。他的父親是一位正直老實的農民，幾年前因農機意外不幸過世。他的母親是一位慈愛的婦人，一面走出喪夫之痛，一面靠打零星農活照顧這個兒子。這個家庭亟需幫助，特別是因為小龍哥的行為問題，他的狀況顯然每況愈下。他開始說謊，並偷家人和親友的酒來喝醉。八月初，他喝了太多偷來的酒，又吃了母親的藥，想逃離內心的煎熬。他病得很重，還拿樹枝戳自己的喉嚨催吐，導致食道出血，只得住院輸血。過去兩年裡這種事已經發生過兩次，他的惡劣行為讓母親痛苦不堪，親戚們都非常憤怒；唐宗英到醫院探望時，就看到他們對這個年輕人惡言相向，甚至動手體罰。經BECHA董事會同意，我們向小龍哥的家人提出一個方案，給他最後一次機會，以正向強化的方式獎勵他的良好行為，幫助他跳出惡性循環。詳細計畫獲得他家人同意，也得到村幹部的支持。目標是以正面的力量矯正他的行為問題：表現良好時給予小額現金獎勵（以減少他偷別人東西的需求），表現不好時則罰款。每天用一本筆記本記錄他的行為，每晚由母親檢討。同時，村幹部正設法找人教他做手工藝品，例如編籃子，由碧波收購，將來或可用於展覽。第一個月的初步成果令人鼓舞，小龍哥的行為明顯改善（超過九成的日子沒有任何不良行為，還幫母親做農活，並且為了存錢而戒了酒）。我們會繼續為小龍哥祈禱，願他成功重拾自尊與自信，過更快樂的生活。

在一个农村发起“拯救小龙哥”项目。唐宗英在吉林省探访碧波支持者期间，认识了这位智力障碍的年轻人，家人给他取了小名叫“小龙哥”。他身材瘦小，小时候把父母的糖尿病药当糖果吃，从此脑部受损。他的父亲是一位正直老实的农民，几年前因农机事故不幸去世。他的母亲是一位慈爱的妇女，一边走出丧夫之痛，一边靠打零散农活照顾这个儿子。这个家庭急需帮助，特别是因为小龙哥的行为问题，他的状况显然每况愈下。他开始说谎，并偷家人和亲友的酒来喝醉。八月初，他喝了太多偷来的酒，又吃了母亲的药，想逃离内心的煎熬。他病得很重，还拿树枝戳自己的喉咙催吐，导致食道出血，只得住院输血。过去两年里这种事已经发生过两次，他的恶劣行为让母亲痛苦不堪，亲戚们都非常愤怒；唐宗英到医院探望时，就看到他们对这个年轻人恶语相向，甚至动手体罚。经BECHA董事会同意，我们向小龙哥的家人提出一个方案，给他最后一次机会，以正向强化的方式奖励他的良好行为，帮助他跳出恶性循环。详细计划获得他家人同意，也得到村干部的支持。目标是以正面的力量矫正他的行为问题：表现良好时给予小额现金奖励（以减少他偷别人东西的需求），表现不好时则罚款。每天用一个笔记本记录他的行为，每晚由母亲进行回顾。同时，村干部正设法找人教他做手工艺品，例如编篮子，由碧波收购，将来或可用于展览。第一个月的初步成果令人鼓舞，小龙哥的行为明显改善（超过九成的日子没有任何不良行为，还帮母亲干农活，并且为了攒钱而戒了酒）。我们会继续为小龙哥祈祷，愿他成功重拾自尊与自信，过上更快乐的生活。

LBD continues to behave well without any incidents of stealing/drinking liquors. He is enjoying the rewards from his good behavior. During the month of November, his mother logged 29 out of 30 days in good behavior, with only 1 incident of asking for a cigarette from another person in the village. He has become a well-mannered young man and proactively helped his mother in the farm work. He also made about 100 pot-cleaning brushes out of the dried sorghum stems after the harvest season for his home and elders in the village. In order to keep him busy during winter time where there is no farm work, he will be encouraged to continue to make more handicrafts for BECHA to buy and to distribute to more village homes where wood burning stoves are used for cooking.

小龍哥持續表現良好，沒有再發生偷酒、喝酒的事。他很享受良好行為帶來的獎勵。十一月份，他母親記錄的30天中有29天表現良好，只有一次向村裡別人要菸。他已成為一個有禮貌的年輕人，並主動幫母親做農活。秋收之後，他還用乾高粱稈做了大約100把刷鍋的炊帚，給自己家和村裡的長輩使用。冬天沒有農活，為了讓他有事可做，將鼓勵他繼續做更多手工藝品，由BECHA收購，再分送給更多用柴火爐灶煮飯的村民家庭。

Another award was presented to LBD in July, 2015 to recognize his continued good behavior during the past 2 months. His mother was pleased to see him working hard to help with the farm work; and there were no incidents of stealing liquors in this period. Also, he helped an elderly couple to transfer 3500 kg of coal to prepare for the winter and helped another villager to recover a lost wallet with valuables inside, including ID cards and bank cards. He was praised for his successful sustainment of his good behavior and was urged to refrain from asking for cigarettes from other villagers as an area for improvement.

2015年7月，小龍哥再次獲獎，表彰他過去兩個月持續表現良好。他母親很高興看到他努力幫忙做農活，這段期間也沒有發生偷酒的事。此外，他還幫一對老夫婦搬運了3500公斤的煤，準備過冬；又幫另一位村民找回遺失的錢包，裡面有身分證、銀行卡等貴重物品。他因成功保持良好行為而受到稱讚，同時也被勸告不要再向其他村民要菸，這是他還需要改進的地方。

Young farmer LBD happily received a good behavior award from the BigBall charity organization in the U. S. He continued to be motivated by this award to maintain his good behavior in the village to alleviate the burden of his widowed mother. In the past 3 months, he stopped asking for cigarettes from villagers, organized the 3rd year memorial service banquet for his father, and also mastered the toolmaking skills in making brooms and pan cleaning brushes out of dried harvest wastes in the farm. I look forward to seeing a perfect behavior record during the next 3 months.

农村青年小龙哥开心地接收美国碧波慈善机构的奖金，继续鼓励他维持良好行为不让妈妈操心。这三个月，小龙哥没向他人要烟抽，帮老妈干活，一个人里外把父亲的三年祭日酒席全部打点，完美得没话说。又学好了用地里收集的擀秸做出扫帚及锅刷。期待他下三个月有更完美的表现。

He was happy to receive a good behavior award for the last 3 months from the BigBall Earth Caring Humanity Association in the US.

Met with Little Brother Dragon again before completing this year’s charity work in China. He continued good behaviors and helped his mother in the farm during the busy harvesting season. He was very happy to receive another award for sustaining good behaviors. He then used part of his award to help his grandparents in fighting lung cancer by quitting tobacco smoking, which is a new BigBall project (Saving Lungs) with cash awards as incentives to kick the smoking habit.

在結束今年中國的慈善工作之前，我再次與小龍哥見面。他持續保持良好行為，在秋收農忙時節幫母親下田幹活。他很高興又領到一份持續良好品行的獎勵。隨後他用部分獎金，以戒菸的方式幫助祖父母對抗肺癌——這是碧波的一項新計畫（「拯救肺部」），以現金獎勵作為戒除菸癮的誘因。

Visited with LBD several times and reports from his mother and his village chief have been perfect! He helped his mother with house work and the spring farm work, as well as walked miles to collect recyclables in exchange for additional income for his family. He stopped drinking alcohols and has been trying to quit smoking as well. I was happy to present two perfect behavior awards for the first six months in 2017.

LBD project update: Little Brother Dragon has completely recovered from Tuberculosis (TB) and continued to sustain 100% good behavior. It’s heart warming to see this brain damaged village boy turned into a handsome young man and working hard to help his widowed mother with farm and house work. We started “Saving LBD project” almost 8 years ago by rewarding his good behavior with cash to buy his own needs instead of begging from other villagers for cigarettes and petty things. His good behavior needs to be verified by other villagers and the village chief in order to receive the cash award. It has been a very successful project and we will continue to endorse this project.

Visited Little Brother Dragon and his widowed and ill mom with the village chief to witness the completion of a new outhouse for them to replace the unsafe old one before the cold winter. The extra funding provided by BigBall for materials, along with the labor provided by LBD, and by volunteers like the Village Chief and other villagers ensured timely completion of construction. LBD continues to recover from TB and has continued to behave well for his mother and other villagers. This has been a very successful project for the last 10 years to save LBD’s life from self-inflicted injuries due to low self-esteem and brain damage from childhood illness.

我們與村長一同探望龍小弟和他守寡多病的母親，見證他們家新廁所落成。新廁所趕在寒冬來臨前完工，取代了原本不安全的舊茅廁。碧波協會額外提供了建材經費，加上龍小弟本人出力，以及村長和其他村民等志工幫忙，工程才得以如期完成。龍小弟的肺結核持續康復中，對母親和村民也一直表現良好。過去十年來，這是一個非常成功的計畫：龍小弟因自卑以及童年疾病造成的腦損傷而有自殘行為，這個計畫挽救了他的生命。
