去年7月份,我作为联合国志愿人员服务组织(UNV)的一员,去南非做了半年的义工。现如今,南非经济发展迅速,富人增多的同时,穷人的日子却越来越不好过了。大批的贫民拥挤在市区的贫民窟中,有些人为了省钱,甚至两三天才吃一顿饭。根据官方最新公布的数字,南非目前仍有450万无业游民,其中有350万人几乎已经失去了继续寻找工作的信心。 Last July, as a member of the United Nations Volunteer Service Organization (UNV), I went to South Africa to volunteer for six months. Nowadays, South Africa’s economy has developed rapidly, and while the number of rich people has increased, the days of the poor are getting worse. A large number of poor people are crowded in the slums of the urban areas. Some people even have a meal for two or three days in order to save money. According to the latest figures released by the government, there are still 4.5 million unemployed people in South Africa, of which 3.5 million have almost lost confidence in continuing to find work.
