亲爱的同学们、嘉人们，

大家好！

今天的关键词是爱与感恩。我们今天不想讲什么大道理，只想分享几个我们身边的人和事，那些真实发生的故事。

第一个故事是一位海嘉中学的科学老师, Mr. Capocy. 他来自美国，现在正在菲律宾的家中为学生们上课。前几日他的家中遭遇了台风和风暴，导致家中电路中断。为了不影响孩子们的学习，他就买了“口袋Wi-Fi”，但是需要到空旷的高处才能有信号。大家看这张照片，他就坐在他家院子里的这个水塔茅草屋的屋顶上为孩子上课。他说，为了保证电量充足，他要携带充电器、电脑等很多电子设备上去，但一旦下雨，他就得拿着全套设备，紧急跑到另外一个地方—养鸡棚里。

我想让大家想象一下这个场景，一个老师，手里抱着各种电子设备，从房顶上，到鸡棚里，还要当作什么事都没有发生给学生们上课。

另外一个故事是海嘉中学部的戏剧老师Mrs. Peffers, 她住在新西兰南岛的一个朋友的家中，由于地处偏僻，家中没有网络，她必须每天开车到附近的一所学校去上网，由于时差问题，如果学校关门，那她就只能呆在学校门口的车里，依然坚持上课。有时，网络突然中断时，她就马上开着车到别的朋友家借网，就这样每天在奔波中度过。前几天，她兴奋的告诉我，她到了另外一个住处，在那里她可以在家中上网了，她拍下了一张照片说：我太高兴了，终于可以安静的坐下来给学生上课了，即使我只有一周的时间在这里。

我们还有两位美国老师Kriss夫妇每天深夜坐在图书馆上课，他们每天回到家中时大概凌晨1点多。为了不长期影响家人的休息，他们决定飞去夏威夷，因为那里的时差和北京没有那么大。他们说：和其他人一样，我们只是尽最大努力让孩子们上好课而已，一句发自肺腑的话，这是我们的责任。

Mr. Cedeno 是一位英语老师，他在美国白天照顾生病的父亲，晚上给学生上课, 他说：我这么做是因为我认为现场回答问题和让学生们按时上课是很重要的。不过他说他这段时间真的非常疲惫。

Mr. Branks 在海嘉已经很多年了，他也是每天晚上在美国为孩子们上课。他说：我能够坚持每天到凌晨三四点是因为仅仅是因为学生们需要我而已。

海嘉还有很多很多这样的故事发生，感动无处不在。你们可曾发现，当老师们被问到是什么力量让他们能够克服万难不惜一切地坚持为学生上课时，他们的回答不是什么大道理，也听上去没有那么伟大，而是最简单、最朴实的一句话：为了孩子们！

是啊！只有心中有爱才能有一颗全心为孩子的心。感谢你们，亲爱的老师们！我们也收到了来自7I班孩子们自己录制的视频，表达他们对老师们的感谢！

其实，爱与感谢，就在我们身边。请大家欣赏视频。

Dear Students and the entire BIBA Family，

Today's key words are love and gratitude. We don't want to talk about any moral lessons today. We just want to share a few people and their real stories around us.

The first story is about a science teacher from BIBA middle school, Mr. Capocy. He is from the United States, and is now teaching at his home in the Philippines. A few days ago, his home was hit by a strong typhoon, resulting in the interruption of electricity in their area. To make sure that his students' learning will not be affected, he bought a "pocket Wi Fi", but even with it, he needs to go to a higher place to have a signal. Please look at this picture. He is sitting on the roof of the thatched house of the water tower in his yard to teach his students.

He said that in order to ensure sufficient electricity, he had to carry a charger, a computer and many other electronic devices. There was one time when it rained, and he had to take his whole set of equipment and rush to another place - the chicken coop.

I want you to imagine this scene: a teacher, with all kinds of electronic devices in his hands, coming down from the roof to a house where their chickens live, trying to teach the students as if nothing was happening.

Another story is of Mrs. Peffers, a drama teacher in BIBA Middle School. She is currently staying in the home of a friend in New Zealand's South Island. Because of the remoteness and the lack of Internet, she has to drive to a nearby school to get online every day. Due to the time difference, if the school is closed, she can only stay in the car at the school gate where she will get internet and hold class in her car. Sometimes, when the network suddenly breaks down, she immediately drives her car to other friends' houses to borrow the network, thus spending every day in a rush. A few days ago, she excitedly told me that she had arrived at another residence where she could surf the Internet at home. She took a picture and said, "I'm so happy that I can sit down quietly to teach students, even if I only have one week here.".

We also have two American teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Kriss, who would sit in the library late every night for class. They come home at about 1:00 a.m. every day. In order not to affect their family's rest for a long time, they decided to fly to Hawaii, because the time difference there is not so big from the time in. They said, "Like other people, we just try our best to let the children have a good lesson. From the bottom of our hearts, this is our responsibility."

Mr. Cedeno, an English teacher, takes care of his sick father in the United States during the day and gives classes to his students at night. He said, "I do this because I think it is important to answer questions on the spot and let students attend classes on time even if it is tiring."

Mr. Brian has been in BIBA for many years. He also attends classes for his students while in the United States. He does this every night. He said, "I can stick to it until 3 or 4 a.m. every day just because the students need me."

BIBA has many touching stories from teachers around the world. What we are going through right now is not easy, but the teachers find strength in one thing: their love for their students. And only when there is love in your heart can you have a heart for your children. Thank you, dear teachers, for all the love that you give our students!

On top of all this, we also received the video from class 7I who recorded themselves to express their thanks to the teachers!

Truly, there is much love and gratitude around us!
