4. Problems We Had To Overcome
1. on organizing the team The team members are chosen from different classes and grades, so it is difficult to coordinate among them, but they can show their different skills. We try our best to overcome these difficulties and organize our team. 2. on arrangement of time Buddhas are very busy, so our interviews have been postponed for several times. We have to call them beforehand. The teachers coordinate our time and fix that the afternoon and evening of every Monday and Thursday is the time to hold meetings. 3. on technologies The students are not very good at using computers. Thanks to our teachers who instruct us on how to use computers, we have made progress in this aspect. 4. on interviews Lack of relevant experiences, it is a big challenge for us to have interviews with buddhas on what they have done to build a harmonious society and give their love to other people. Under the help of our teachers and our own efforts, we managed to complete our task and we also realize the hardship of a journalist.
