從災民到部落守護者(9分56秒版)
經過了近三年的等待,嘉蘭部落的災民們終於搬進了永久屋,這其間的煎熬實在不是一般人所能了解。
場景拉回到莫拉克時的嘉蘭部落,莫拉克帶來毀滅性的雨量,嘉蘭村聯外道路和稻田如汪洋一般,河邊四十幾戶的民房被兇猛的溪水所帶走,大水退去後,只見橫倒河底的樓房,和宛如被炸彈轟炸過殘破不堪的民房,部落中的道義夫妻,家就這樣被流到太平洋去了,在走過帳篷中繼屋的歲月後,好不容易有了新家,妤妗談起這段往事,還是忍不住紅了眼眶。
「我眼睜睜看著我的房子這樣子,然後癱坐在那邊,乎天搶地的.怪上天,怪我的公公婆婆,怪我在天上的公公婆婆,沒有保佑她的孩子辛辛苦苦建立的家園,沒有留住這樣子」
從海軍退伍後不久就遇上八八風災,道義分享了他參與協力造屋的心路歷程,
「他說做這個中繼屋以受災戶為主,因為大家也是閒著沒事做,都待在房子的地方這樣,剛好可以學一些作房子的基礎,也不會想太多,如果你都不做事,是不是每天都在想 過去怎樣怎樣,不是也是造成自己的困擾」
道義在退伍前就一直有個夢想。但是沒想到莫拉克幾乎奪走了他們的一切。
「幾乎休假就是回台東,阿這個比較有感情,在這故鄉這樣子 所以我時間到可以退伍我就退伍,希望在這個我老爸留下來的農地這樣子,我那個退休金就是投資在幾乎有一半都投資在那裏面,我那個是類似在半山腰 半山腰就整個這樣切 整個從後面這樣切,就整個切走 我的房子 老工寮 還有浴室 甚麼一些販賣部 計畫我的地方全部都流失掉。
為了協助部落的重建,勤奮的他從工人搖身一變,成為小型工程的承包商。妤妗提到了風災以來,最令她感動的人時說:「我先生吧!他影響我比較多 我會被他激勵到 其實最難過的人應該是他,因為都是花他的錢在弄東弄西嗎 都已經做的一半了 快要完成他的夢想了,完成他的夢想到一半了 現在把他的夢想都一起沖刷掉了,他還能夠這樣子很樂觀的說重新站起來 路本來就很多種不一定要這一條路這樣」
急公好義的道義也是嘉蘭巡守隊成員,這幾年來,他也養成隨身攜帶數位器材的習慣,並和大家分享他記錄的影片。這應該也是八八水災帶給他唯一的一項驚喜吧!
但對重建工程的結束,未來該怎麼走呢?「大概我也盡量幫我們這些班底找工作 如果是謝老師之前後續有甚麼工作他也會找我們 這樣子」。
妤妗說:如果自己沒有做生意的話 我就是會回到 我會去那個協助促進會 嘉蘭促進會 如果沒有當裡面的員工也要當志工去協助裡面推動 嘉蘭未來的產業。
道義也積極的參與社區的服務工作,為部落及自己爭取應有的權益,他不是一個能言善道的巧辯者,但是他總是站在最前面給演說者強而有力的支持。
許多人懷疑八八風災受害者能否從重創的陰影中走出來?我想樂觀及勇於嘗試的道義夫妻的故事,已經給了我們最好的答案!
From victims to village guardians

When Typhoon Morakot struck, it turned Jialan roads and paddy fields into a vast expanse of water. The violently swollen rivers washed away over forty families, and it was not until the water receded that the sheer extent of the destruction became evident. Buildings littered the riverbed in what could only be described as something from the scene of a war zone. The Dao family, which watched as their home was washed into the Pacific Ocean, and who were forced to stay in a refugee tent village for an extended period, finally have a new home.
Typhoon Morakot almost snatched away everything from this good family, including their home and all the money they had invested in a homestay (B&B). In order to help with the reconstruction of the village, Mr. Dao has diligently worked his way up from a hired worker, to the owner of a small construction firm.
He is a member of Jialan patrol team and over the last few years has cultivated the habit of carrying a digital camera - the recordings from which he enjoys sharing with members of the community. Mr. Dao is passionate about participating in community activities and fighting for his own rights and benefits, as well as that of the tribe. He is not the kind of person who is skilled in the art of rhetoric, but always enthusiastically supports and encourages those who wish to take the stage.
