「漁樂一下」～外籍漁工多元文化休閒活動

因著漁業勞動的特殊工作性質，許多漁工不僅過著孤立的生活，在工作中也面臨苛刻身體的工作條件、潛在的危險任務、長時間的工作及高指數的壓力和疲勞，這些都導致漁工們極容易衍生身心疾病。外籍漁工離鄉背井數年，且與台灣漁民的文化不同，更需要有人關注他們的身心健康及勞動生活。

新事社會服務中心看見漁工在每日繁重的工作壓力下，身心所產生的疲憊，因此除了實際至漁港關心漁工的生活狀況外，也設計各種休閒、康樂活動帶領漁工娛樂放鬆，來舒解漁工們身體的疲勞和精神的壓力及支持行動。

這次我們帶領印尼籍漁工打羽毛球，起初，漁工們都有點害羞，文文靜靜，但一拿起球拍站到場上，彷彿變了一個人，每個都非常敏捷、身手矯健。場上的氣氛也瞬間變得熱絡，原先因工作疲勞而堆滿陰霾的臉龐也轉為笑臉，直到活動結束仍依依不捨，甚至詢問我們能否讓他們多玩一會兒，可見這次活動真的讓漁工們非常的開心！

印尼為羽球大國，當這些漁工們拿起球拍時，不知是否也讓他們想到了家鄉，在異鄉，能夠在工作之餘玩起家鄉最驕傲的運動，對漁工們來説，或許已不只是放鬆，或許更多的是撫慰了他們的思鄉之情。

當活動結束，身心得到放鬆舒緩，再回到工作時，將更有力量！

長期以來漁工一直是被外界忽視的一群，2017年開始新事中心走近這一群海上兄弟，除了生活關懷，更實際解決他們遇到的法規、薪資、職災、醫療、轉換雇主、人口販運等問題，想他們所想、急他們所需。祈盼依靠大家的力量與支持，以持續走入這群不曾被關心過的弟兄們身上，喚起希望、散佈喜樂！請按下「我要捐款」或電洽(02)2397-1933 #122 ，感謝您的響應與關注！

Because of the special working condition of fishery, migrant fishermen not only suffer from isolated life but also facing extreme and risky working conditions which can easily lead to mental and physical health problems. Working on the unfamiliar soil with the local Taiwanese fishermen who share a different culture, migrant fishermen need our attention to their physical and mental health.

Rerum Novarum Center staff has noticed the stress and tiresome of migrant fishermen caused by the heavy workloads. Therefore, besides going to fishing ports to understand their working conditions and lives, we also design various activities to help the workers relax, to soften their stress and tiresome from works.

This time we played badminton with the Indonesian fishermen. In the beginning, they were kind of shy and quiet, but after picking up badminton rackets, they suddenly changed to another person, vigorous and active. The atmosphere on the field became very energetic as well. Their faces had been dark and tired because of the heavy works but have then changed to big smiling faces. Even after the end of the activity, they were still full of energy and asked whether they could play a little bit longer. They loved the game!

Indonesia is a country famous for badminton. When these fishermen picked up the rackets, they may recall their hometowns. In a foreign country, being able to play the sport representing their country is not something just about relaxing, it is a cure to their homesick.

After the game, after being able to relax and have fun, they will have more power after returning to work!
