Voice 1: The community project workers help many people to deal with difficult issues. It is a big part of their work. This is especially true in the project's hospice. The hospice is a restful place. It is for people with sicknesses that cannot be cured. Patients in the hospice are dying². But it is not a 'sad' place. Patients spend their time being creative with arts, playing music or games. Or, they can just have a break! Sheila said,

声音1：社区项目的工作人员帮助很多人解决了他们的困难。这是这些工作人员的主要工作内容。该项目提供的临终安养院计划更是如此。临终安养院是一个安静的休息所。是为那些无法治愈的病人准备的地方。安置在临终安养所的都是即将走向死亡的病人。但是那里并不是一个悲伤的地方。病人在那里可以享受艺术、玩音乐、玩游戏，充满创造性地度过他们的最后时光。当然他们也可以只享受休息时光！希拉说道，

Voice 3: 'We help people to face death. Often they have issues in their lives. Some have conflicts with family or friends. They need resolution. They need an end to these conflicts. The hospice provides a restful atmosphere. People feel at ease³. They can discuss issues openly. We work with them towards peace and unity¹. They can face death when they are at peace with friends, family and most importantly God. It is an honour to work with patients — to prepare them for a lifetime with God. Healing⁴ is for this life. But peace and unity with God means everlasting⁵ life.'

声音3：“我们帮助人们面对死亡。人们经常会在生活中遇到问题。有些人和家人或是朋友产生矛盾。他们需要解决问题。他们需要结束这种矛盾。临终安养院提供安静的氛围。让人们感觉轻松自在。他们可以坦率地讨论问题。我们会帮助他们寻求和平和团结。在同朋友、家人和睦相处以后，更重要地是和上帝保持一致，这样他们就能面对死亡。帮助病人，帮助他们一生追随上帝是种荣幸。治愈只是这一生。而追随上帝获得安宁和团结则会使生命永恒。”

Voice 2: World Health Day 2006 was about ‘Working Together For Health.' Health workers from the Community Project know how important this is. Sheila said,

声音2：2006年世界卫生日的主题是“通力合作，增进健康”。社区项目的卫生工作者知道这有多重要。希拉说道，

Voice 3: 'In the developing world there is very limited (access to) health care for many people. We want to provide quality health care for people, health care that is correct for their situation. We believe that people are made in the image of God. They are important to Him and to us. We work to improve individual health and the health of local communities. In working together we can see great results. It would be impossible to do this work alone.'

声音3：“在发展中国家，很多人获得的医疗服务是有限的。我们想为人们提供优质的医疗服务，适合他们自身情况的医疗服务。我们相信，人是按照上帝的形象造出来的。所以人们对上帝和对我们来说都非常重要。我们致力于改善个人健康和当地社区的健康。通过通力合作我们能获得好的效果。独自做这项工作是不可能的事。”
