Hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow laws, injustice and inequality have harshly informed and limited our ideas of how Black people can and should exist in this country.

为帮助新冠期间的“失学”青少年,印度尼西亚志愿者决定收集废弃手机,让他们能够用网络“回到校园”。
When a
garbage collector
came to Ghina Ghaliya’s house in the Indonesian capital and asked if she had an old mobile phone his children could use to access the internet, it
sparked an idea
for a broader campaign to help students
stuck
at home by the coronavirus.
当一个拾荒者来到吉娜·加利亚在印尼首都的家,问她是否有一部旧手机可以让他的孩子们用来上网时,这激起了她的一个想法,即可以组织一个更大规模的活动,帮助被新冠疫情困在家里的学生。
Shortly after the pandemic hit Indonesia, Ghaliya and 11 other journalists in Jakarta organized a group to provide food and money to people in need. They started hearing from parents who wanted their children to be able to study online but lacked a way to access the internet.
在疫情袭击印度尼西亚后不久,加利亚和其他11名记者在雅加达组织了一个小组,向有需要的人捐粮捐款。他们开始收集到一些家长的需求,这些家长希望他们的孩子能够上网学习,但却没有上网的渠道。
Ghaliya was reminded of her conversation with the garbage collector and she and the other journalists decided to shift their focus to providing mobile phones for
underprivileged
students, many of whom were still not allowed to do face-to-face learning when the new school year started in July.
They announced their campaign through social media and the response was overwhelming, with people donating second-hand units and others giving cash. As of November, they had collected more than 200 mobile phones. Cash donations amounted to more than 530 million
rupiah
(more than $35,000), allowing them to buy more phones and also purchase
prepaid
internet for the
recipients
.
他们通过社交媒体发起了这项活动,有的人捐献二手机有的人捐款,人们反响热烈。截至11月,他们已经收集了200多部手机。现金捐款总计超过5.3亿印尼盾(超过3.5万美元),这使得他们可以购买更多的手机,并且也能为受捐者预付网费。
So far, nearly 300 phones have been distributed to Indonesian students around Jakarta as well as to remote regions like Papua, the country’s most eastern province.
到目前为止,他们已向雅加达周边的印尼学生以及该国最东部省份巴布亚等偏远地区发放了近300部手机。
