第2764期:Let young people tell their stories(2)
Episode 1
Every single day, I would train them on how to write better. But what they were writing about was actually tough issues. Gender, discrimination, climate change, issues that we are not taught to talk about. And something slowly began to shift in them. The more they wrote, the more they began to question. They started acting. They started wondering why things were the way they were. And that motivated me to go school to school, college to college, sticking up posters, asking more and more young people to join me.每天我都会训练他们如何写得更好。但他们写的其实是一些艰难的话题：性别、歧视、气候变化，这些都是我们从未被教导去谈论的问题。而在他们身上，慢慢开始发生变化。他们写得越多，就越开始质疑。他们开始采取行动，开始思考为什么事情会是现在这样。这也激励我一个学校一个学校地走，一个大学一个大学地跑，张贴海报，邀请越来越多的年轻人加入我。
Slowly and steadily, a community began to form. And that blog became Youth Ki Awaaz, or Voice of the Youth, India's largest citizen media platform, where today more than 200,000 young people are writing on issues that are deeply underrepresented every single month.慢慢地，一个社区开始形成。而那个博客也逐渐成长为 Youth Ki Awaaz（青年之声），印度最大的公民媒体平台。如今，每个月都有超过二十万名年轻人在这个平台上撰写那些在社会中被严重忽视的问题。
And this was not just young people coming together and ranting. This was young people coming together and telling stories that were not being told anywhere.而这不仅仅是年轻人聚在一起发牢骚，而是他们聚在一起讲述那些在其他地方根本没有被讲述的故事。
So let me tell you about Ashwini. Ashwini was a medical student studying in the state of Rajasthan. And he had this phenomenal habit. Every single summer break, he would go to the closest village and provide free medical services. So he went to this village called Rajghat, a couple of kilometers away from the city of Jaipur in India. And when he went there, what he found was far more than a medical crisis. There was absolutely no clean drinking water. There were no proper roads. There was no electricity. And he realized that there were no schools at all. And no weddings had taken place in the last 22 years because nobody wanted to send their daughters to a village which was so impoverished. Imagine a village of single men.让我来说一个叫阿什维尼（Ashwini）的故事。阿什维尼是拉贾斯坦邦的一名医科学生，他有一个很了不起的习惯：每年暑假，他都会去最近的村庄提供免费的医疗服务。于是他去了一个叫 Rajghat 的村子，离印度斋普尔市只有几公里远。然而到了那里，他发现的问题远远超过了医疗危机。那里完全没有干净的饮用水，没有像样的道路，没有电力供应。他还发现村子里根本没有学校。而且在过去22年里，这个村子里从未举行过婚礼，因为没有人愿意把女儿嫁到这样一个极度贫困的地方。想象一下，一个全是单身男人的村庄。
