In 2010, I brought 100 students from 20 different countries to Taiwan
through an organisation called Up with People, an international
education and leadership program for young adults who seek to change the
world. |

I first met Luke while working for an international non-profit operating in Taiwan. His willingness to help our organization surprised me because we hadn’t met someone so trusting and eager to make introductions and connections in the community. I learned that he had dedicated himself to helping others, through full-time volunteer work, and to always putting others first. I had the pleasure of working with Luke to help launch his English education, My Culture Connect. I learned just how powerful it could be to connect students from around the world to exchange languages and culture. Organizations such as Luke’s are helping the world come together as one global village! (Matthew Erley, the U.S.A.) |
||||
我第一次和Luke碰面,是我在台灣為一個國際非營利組織工作的時候。他自願協助我們組織的態度讓我很驚訝,因為我們從未遇到如此值得信任及熱心介紹我們和社區融入的人。我從他身上學到致力幫助他人的精神,他擔任全職志工,並且 |

I met Luke Lin through his support of the global education company I work for, Up with People. Luke has helped our international cast of 100 volunteers from 20 different countries experience Taiwan, its culture, and the people for the past two visits. I had the opportunity to live in a monastery with three other students of ours while we were in Erlin. Luke had set up this whole week for us; contacting the monastery, organizing our transportation, giving us educational classes in the evening, and helping provide our food. He also helped facilitate many things for our cast throughout the visit that enabled us to meet Taiwanese youth, impact and be impacted by them, and expand our knowledge of each other’s countries. I have seen that Luke is a very humble and giving man, that puts his needs aside for the sake of education and leadership. He showed me the value of hard work, humility, and patience. I am forever impacted by my experience in Taiwan and working with Luke. He truly is an inspiration and the idea of a community leader. I'm grateful to know him and call him a friend. (Leslie Kleiman, the USA) |

我認識Luke是因為他很支持我任職的公司Up
with
People,這是一個國際教育組織。Luke在過去兩次我們的參訪時,幫助二十個不同國家來的一百名國際志工體驗台灣與台灣文化,並且認識台灣的人民。當我們在二林時,我有機會和其他三位學生一起住在一個佛寺裡,Luke在一整個禮拜當中幫我們安排好一切:聯繫佛寺、安排交通工具、晚上幫我們上課、並提供我們飲食。 |

After visiting Taipei with an international NGO (Up with People), I met Luke Lin and discovered his inspirational vigor to volunteer and give back to the communities in which he worked. It's been a true pleasure getting involved in his English education programs while still being home in the United States. Our online exchanges (via skype) provide learning experiences on both sides of the computer and demonstrate the effectiveness of Luke's passion to reach out to the global community. (Drew Fisher Thompson, the U.S.A.) |

與非政府組織Up with People一起參訪台灣之後,我遇到了Luke,並對於擔任志工與回饋社區的活力非常有具有啟發性。當我在美國家中,可以參與他的英語教育計畫是一種樂趣。我們視訊教學提供了在電腦前的雙方學習的經驗,同時也展現Luke與國際接軌的熱情之效應。 |

I got to know Luke when we as Up with People visited Taiwan. Our activities which are volunteer work, shows, home staying, workshops, and so on need lots of helps. Luke was one of the persons who helped us coordinate our travel. He made a special allocation that we could have a chance to stay in a temple to experience Taiwanese culture. He worked hard translating Chinese into English and sharing cultures. It was a great experience for me to know the unique side of Taiwan. I appreciate him giving me a new idea of living. (Nozomi Yamazaki, Japan) |

當我們Up with People參訪臺灣時,我認識了Luke,我們的活動是義工服務、表演、寄宿、工作坊等等,這些都需要很多的協助。Luke是幫助協調我們旅行的其中一個人。他特別分配我們到佛寺居住,讓我們有機會體驗臺灣文化。他相當努力將中文翻成英文,並且分享文化經驗。讓我能夠了解臺灣獨特的一面,這是很棒的經驗。我很感激他給我新的生活觀念。 |

I met Luke Lin while travelling with an organization called Up with People. He helped us out in many ways. Some of our group got to stay with the Nuns, that was all thanks to Luke. I think working with Luke is very easy, and he is a huge inspiration for everyone around him. (Marjo YK, Finland) |

當我與一個叫做Up with People的組織旅行時,我認識了Luke。他在許多方面協助我們,我們的團隊有一些人與尼師住一段時間,這都要感謝Luke的協助。我想和Luke一起工作非常容易,而且他對周遭的人有很大的啟發。 |

My name is Maximilian Römer. I
am 21 years old, originally from Germany, and currently studying
International Relations at Leiden University in the Hague, the
Netherlands. Before I started studying in Leiden, I travelled with an
organisation that offers an international educational-, cultural
leadership-, and community service programme, while travelling around
many countries with other students from all over the world. Due to my
travelling, I met Luke in Taiwan who put a great effort into working
together with Up with people in order to change and improve the
community, not only in Erlin, but hopefully all over the country.
Without him our group would most likely not have been able to come to
Erlin. I was impressed by his personality, attitude, and effort he made
to help his community. But as much as was impressed by Luke, I was even
more amazed by his intelligent and efficient idea to bring education to
young students with cheap and easily accessible technology. |

In 2010 I traveled with the non-profit organisation, Up with People, which brings the world together through service and music. During that time I spent a month in beautiful Taiwan. I stayed about 10 days in an amazing Buddhist monastery together with some cast mates from Up with People. We were welcomed by Luke Lin, who during our stay was our guide, host family, teacher and friend. I must say, Luke is possibly one of the friendliest persons I’ve ever met. He will help anyone in anyway possible and he’s a big inspiration to me. I’ve learnt a lot from my stay thanks to Luke. I learnt how to see everything from a greater perspective. I learnt how to relax during a stressful period, and I learnt what an amazing outcome it might have just to listen instead of talk. He is passionate about helping others and he acknowledges people as they are. He is caring and has a drive to meet people and accept them. He is a visionary and a truly great and incredible person.

I came to know Luke by autumn in 2010, when I visited Taiwan with the global education program Up with People. Luke was our teacher and mentor when a few of us from Up with People were staying in a monastery in Pitou. He also became a dear friend to me and the others. Luke explained the traditions and regulations in the temple and became, as mentioned, both a mentor and a friend of mine. Never have I met someone as Luke. Such a humble man, with the biggest heart. He is indeed a good teacher, who is organized, patient and flexible. He is also, and maybe more importantly, a great listener, inspirer and instructor. I will never forget the class when Luke explained to us, the four noble truths of Buddhism. We sat in the little classroom outside the temple and it was a warm night. The buzzing fans in the ceiling made us tired and the warm milk tea we drank wasn’t enough to keep us going. Despite the circumstances Luke were patient and continued. He judged no one.

I came to know Luke Lin through traveling with Up with People. Because of his efforts I was able to stay in a monastery and get a first hand experience of Taiwanese culture and life. Luke took time to educate myself and others about religion, language, and culture, which without him I'm sure I would have not had the amazing connection and experience I did in Taiwan! He offered many opportunities to meet people in the community and for cross cultural education to take place. When you have the opportunity to learn from others first hand, it is invaluable. I learned so much from Luke and how he created those opportunities to get to know people and to ask questions and to experience things first hand. I have grown to be a different person over the years and a lot of it I can attribute to meeting Luke and the opportunities he provided for myself, my colleagues, and his friends, family and students. (Sarah Rychlik, the U.S.A.) |

我跟隨著Up
with
People旅行時認識了Luke。由於他的付出我才能夠待在一間寺院裡,並且能親身體驗台灣的文化和生活。Luke花時間教我和其他人有關宗教、語言和文化的事情 |

I got to know Luke in the fall of 2010 when I travelled to Taiwan with an international group called Up with People. I was lucky enough to have Luke as my host dad and experienced the incredible community service he leads. Those two weeks with Luke made me fall in love with Taiwan and the power of education so much that I was able to experience both things again in the summer of 2012. This time I was a able to learn more about Taiwan through teaching young students about Mexico and my native language. I hope nowadays to be able to return to Taiwan soon and experience again the amazing work Luke does every day to improve his local community. (Paco Garcia Bellego, Mexico) |

我在2010年秋天隨著國際團體Up

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit Taiwan with the international non-profit organization Up with People. When we came to Pitou I got the chance to work with Luke Lin. Luke is an extremely passionate, kindhearted, hard working person. His dedication and professionalism were and still are an inspiration to me. He is a leader and an example for many of us and I know for sure that he will reach all of his goals and reach far beyond them. |
