從絕望之地獲得希望與重生
一九九七年,曾於越南服役的美國海軍陸戰隊醫護兵韋恩・戴爾・馬席斯,重返東南亞以獻身服務。在年輕聰穎的柬埔寨援助志工桑・凡丁的協助下,將廢棄破廟後的一處鬧鬼灌木林地,改建為一處療癒、休養生息的安身之所。初代愛滋病童,那些因愛滋病而孤苦伶仃的孤兒,得以在此找到新家,免於活在恐懼與歧視的陰影下。 《冰製火箭向天目》以誠懇、風趣又動人的筆觸,記錄這群孩子們重獲希望與新生的故事,以及一位退伍老兵的救贖,更是作者在接觸奧波特寺強大生命力之後,歷經心靈蛻變的動人故事。 In 1997 Wayne Dale Matthysse, a former Marine Corps medic who served in Vietnam, returned to South East Asia offer his service . With Vandin San, a brilliant young Cambodian aid worker, he transformed Wat Opot, a haunted scrubland behind a ruined temple, into a place of healing and respite. Here children with or orphaned by HIV/AIDS—the first generation of children to grow up with AIDS—could find a new family, and live outside of fear or judgment. Disarming, funny, deeply moving, In a Rocket Made of Ice gathers the hopeful stories of children saved and changed by this very special place; the story of a war veteran's redemption; and the story of the author's transformation in her contact with the powerful life force of Wat Opot. |
