正如大卫·麦吉（David McGee）在下面所说：“一棵大橡树只是一粒拒绝放弃的小坚果”。 As David McGee states below: “A large oak tree is just a little nut that refused to give up”. 我自认为是个小疯子，但在我的梦想中，我们的家庭绿洲长成了一棵美丽的树，为许多人提供了覆盖。 I consider myself that little nut, but in my dreams, our Family Oasis grows towards a beautiful tree, providing coverage to many people. 尽管无法与业主交谈对我来说是一个巨大的打击，但我还不能放弃这个美丽但未使用的庄园。 Despite the big blow of not being able to […]

我去了瑞士 – I went to Switzerland. 三月是实现我们的梦想、我们的家庭绿洲的特殊月份。 付款来自我们青年交流计划的第一批客户（请参阅我的上一篇文章：我们的第三支柱）。 有了这笔收入，我可以买一张飞往瑞士的机票，去拜访神秘的庄园主人。 March was a particular month for realizing our dreams, our Family Oasis. The payment came in from the first customers for our Youth Exchange program (see my previous article: Our Third Pillar). With that income, I could buy an airoplane ticket to Switzerland to visit the […]

International Student Exchange, the 3rd pillar of Daring Duck. 今天我先简单介绍一下我们“中欧家庭绿洲”的豪宅拿地情况，然后给大家介绍一下大胆鸭青年活动中新增的第三个支柱。 Today, I’ll first briefly introduce the status of getting the mansion for our ‘China European Family Oasis’, and then I will present to you the third pillar that we have added to Daring Duck’s youth activities. 家庭绿洲 – Family Oasis 正如我们在荷兰所说，我们的“中欧家庭绿洲”已成为永无休止的祈祷。 普通读者都知道，去年八月我们受邀对该庄园进行报价。 我们花了三年时间才走到这一步。 旗帜已灭，新的青年活动已筹划，我们都充满了活力。 但从那以后，我们就再也没有听到现任主人的任何消息。 […]

今天，一篇不同类型的文章。 Today, a different type of article. (中文文本尚未修正)你已经有一段时间没有收到我的消息了。 这是一段艰难的时期，在这个阶段我和其他人一样愚蠢：我没有分享，而是变成了自己。 但今天，我读了一篇文章，它全面阐述了我所有的挣扎，因此，今天我将分享另一篇文章。 You haven’t heard from me for quite a while. It has been a tough period and I have been just as foolish as other people during such a phase: instead of sharing, I turned into myself. But today, I read an article that puts all […]

在过去的几周里，我经常被问到我们在法国预期的总部 (HQ) 进展如何. During the last weeks, I was frequently asked how it is going with our intended Head-Quarters (HQ) in France. 不幸的是，我的回答仍然无聊，就像一个重复的黑胶唱片播放器：情况不好，也不错。 Unfortunately, my answer remains boring, like a repeating vinyl disk player: the situation is not good, not bad. (本文的中文翻译尚未更正) 幸运的是，上周六，圣尼古拉斯抵达了荷兰，既然庄园的主人表示他喜欢孩子，这也许是我们联系他的一个方式。 Luckily last Saturday, Saint Nicholas arrived in The Netherlands, and since the […]

八月就像是过山车，充满了颠簸。 August was a roller coaster month, full of ups and downs. 做了多年的户外青少年活动，鹭燕和我已经习惯了颠簸的生活，但当事情超出我们的控制的时候，这仍然会让我们十分紧张。我们到现在仍不知道能不能拿到举办童子军俱乐部的地点。 With our outdoor youth activities, Linda and I are used to things going up and down, but it is nerve-wracking when something that is not under your control, decides whether or not we will get the location to organise youth camps for […]
