欢迎来到SERVAS中国 Welcome to the SERVAS CHINA
1945年二次世界大战结束,为了防止全球再次上演家破人亡的悲剧,英国人洛特勒发起成立一个和平组织。1949年,一群自称“和平建造者”的年轻行动家在丹麦成立了Servas,意即我服务(I serve)。它的一贯的理念是:不同背景的人之间提供直接接触机会,促进跨文化了解,达到真诚包容的和平。

至今,Servas发展成为一个串连旅行者与接待者的国际性和平友善组织。它完全由义工运作,组织采取会员制,遍布全球130多个国家。不论访客或主人都需要通过申请的方式,经所居住国家联络人面谈后,才能正式成为会员。Servas鼓励想要出门探索世界的人们作深度采访,认识不同文化、宗教和种族,因理念崇高,在联合国的经济与社会委员会中,是具有咨询地位的非政府组织。
旅行与接待,理解与和平

I recently had a trip to the U.S. from late October to late November. It was a trip combing my field research with leisure.
Ms. A P of D.C. hosted me for 4 nights. She showed me around and we tried different restaurants. She took me to the Hostelling International Fellowship Award party. It was great fun. She used to serve for a committee of HI. The mission of HI is similar with that of Servas.
Mr. H W of D.C. hosted me for two nights. For some reasons, I contacted him to enquire the possibility of visiting him with very short notice; still, he responded promptly and said yes. From his lovely photo wall and guest books, it is so obvious that how nice a man he is.
I also paid a short visit to Lancaster, PA. There is only one Servas member
called Ms. D K. She was unavailable because of family gathering but she is so kind to introduce one of her friends, Ms. E R, to host me for one night. E showed me the Amish community and covered bridges and Lancaster city. The Amish culture is really unique.
As a new member of Servas, I really appreciate those valuable opportunities to know local people and experience different cultures. We shared ideas and opinions about food, movie, politics, religion and alternative medicine, etc. I believe this kind of visiting could inspire a better and real understanding of people, places, and cultures to create a more coherent world.
