當地村民民風淳樸，很少與外人接觸 (也可能是他們這一生第一次)，我們每人都代表燃燈成員，一舉一動都會影響到燃燈多年建立良好的形象，不要隨便拿禮品，不要說大話，不要開空頭支票，聽不懂當地土話，只要微笑請他們講普通話，歡迎大家和我們一起拜訪這片世外桃源。

Local villagers are simple and honest. They seldom have any contact with outsiders. You may be their first contact outside their village in their entire life. Remember, you are representing EEP. Your actions can affect the fine image built by the organization over the years. Do not take gifts casually. Do not speak loudly. Don’t promise anything you cannot deliver. If you are unable to understand their local dialect, just smile and ask them to speak Mandarin. I hope everyone can join us in visiting this Shangri-La.
