October 12, 2007: One Foundation International Cooperation | 2007年10月12日: 壹基金的跨國合作 | 2007年10月12日: 壹基金的跨国合作

On September 25th, the One Foundation and the "To be Number One" Foundation developed by Thailand's Princess Ubol Ratana Ratchakaya Siriwattana Pannawadi, officially became international partners to work together in China and Thailand on charitable causes.  Those interested friends can find more information here:  

Hand to hand in Thailand "To Be Number One" Foundation.

On September 26th, I arrived in New York to attend the annual Clinton Global Initiative conference.  This is an event sponsored by President Bill Clinton to discuss global education, poverty relief, environmental protection and health issues.  I'm extremely happy that such a young organization like the One Foundation was invited to participate in discussions aimed to benefit the entire world.  There were 1,500 participants in this conference, including many Fortune 500 companies, world-renowned charities and heads of states.

During my childhood, I traveled to over 40 countries in the name of martial arts; as an adult I traveled the world again through my work in movies; I often joked that the remainder of my life will be spent travelling the world to promote Chinese charitable ideals.  My sincere gratitude to President Clinton for this great learning opportunity.

On September 26 at 4:30 p.m., I arrived at the hotel in New York and listened to the first plenary session at 5 p.m.  First, President Clinton introduced the topic of global education development.  After that the Chinese foreign minister discussed China's national educational policy.  Then Afghanistan minister of education, His Excellency Mohammed Haneef Atmar, the founder of The Valentino Achak Deng Foundation , and movie star and philanthropist Angelina Jolie each expressed their opinions on the subject of education.

His Excellency Mohammed Haneef Atmar mentioned their postwar reconstruction efforts in their education system.  The schools often receive frequent terrorist attacks; under such difficulties it's most difficult to give the children proper educational opportunity.  Many female teachers have sacrificed their lives to promote education. I am deeply moved by this.  There are many children from poor areas in China that lack educational resources, but in comparison to the chaos caused by the war in Middle East and Africa, we're very lucky.

Actually, education is extremely important; I did not have the opportunity during my childhood to receive a standard education, and I did not receive even receive an elementary school diploma.  But I dare not to ever forget to study and learn.   At the CGI meeting, I learned that everyone was in attendance with the attitude of a student -- to learn from one another, to discuss the development of global solutions and share their concern for global human issues.  Although, this is only the third year for the annual meeting, it's great to see that so many people are willing to take individual responsibility and duty to discuss how to help humanity as a whole, as one big family.  This family concept is what the One Foundation is based on: living on this planet, we are one big family.

In the past, I didn't have the opportunity to participate in activities outside the world of martial arts and movies, and my English proficiency is also limited.  So I truly treasure this chance to study with such world renowned enterprises and charities.

26 號就趕到紐約參加柯林頓基金會的年度研討大會。這是由美國前總統柯林頓主辦,探討全球的教育,貧困,環保和健康等議題的年會。非常高興壹基金作為一個最年輕的基金,能受邀參與探討如何幫助整個地球。參加的與會代表有1500人,其中包括全球五百強企業,慈善組織,基金等。

從小,通過武術代表國家在全球四十幾個國家走過一圈;長大後因為電影而在全球走了一圈;我常開玩笑說,接下來我要用我的余生,帶著中國人的慈善理念環球一圈。很感謝柯林頓總統的邀請,給我一個學習的機會。

26 號下午四點半,我趕到紐約的酒店,五點就聽了第一堂教育研討會。首先柯林頓總統介紹了全球教育的發展,中國的外交部長也談了中國的國策。接下來有阿富汗的教育部長,非洲一個基金會的創辦人Valentino Achak Deng,和影星Angelina Jolie都分別對教育發表意見。

阿富汗教育部長提到,阿富汗戰後重建時的教育問題,由於學校常受到恐怖活動的襲擊,在如此艱難的環境下,很難給予兒童教育的機會。很多女教師為了普及教育而犧牲性命。我很受感動。在中國也有很多貧困地區兒童缺乏教育資源,但是比起中東非洲等戰亂國家,我們還是很幸運的。其實教育非常重要,我個人小時候也沒機會受正規教育,連小學文憑也沒有,但我沒有敢忘掉學習。

這次的CGI年會,我發現大家都是抱著學生的心態來彼此學習。與會的1500多位代表,分成不同的討論組,共同關心人類的問題。雖然這個年會才成立第三年,但起碼是人類願意負起各自的責任和義務,探討如何幫助人類這個大家庭,這個家就是我壹基金提到的理念:生活在這個地球上,我們就是一家人。

我過去沒有機會參加過武術和電影以外的研討活動,我的英語水平也有限, 很珍惜這次的機會,能向全球傑出的企業和慈善團體學習。
