Leaving for Congo tomorrow

February 15, 2006

华纳唱片不愿证实小天后已琵琶别抱,强调孙燕姿正全心准备刚果爱心行,但刚果是外交部所列的「橙色警戒区域」,让孙家爸妈和歌迷非常担心。

孙燕姿这次随台湾世界展望会前往非洲关怀贫童,明天将从新加坡出发,与展望会在南非约翰尼斯堡会合,再一起进入刚果民主共和国,展开七天的送爱之行,探访资助儿童家庭、爱滋遗孤家庭,关怀社区医疗站、基础建设、水资源问题与当地矿场,预定23日返台。

孙燕姿曾跟展望会去过印度,这次远征非洲,难掩兴奋、紧张之情。但经纪人林明蓉发现,外交部领事事务局将刚果民主共和国列为「橙色警戒区域」,是旅游警示分级中的第二级,政局不安,建议暂缓前往,再加上日前电视播出刚果有人剁手指、吃人肉的新闻,经纪人紧急关切:「原本担心的是卫生,现在又多了安全问题。」

展望会表示,刚果是有些战乱问题,但与这次关怀行的主要活动范围距离有2000公里,经评估后是可以安全成行的。事实上,去年张惠妹前往的苏丹,也是橙色警戒区域。宝贝女儿要去连美国都不建议国民前往的地区,爸妈当然会担心,歌迷也表示关切,还担心台湾、新加坡都与刚果没有邦交,遇事无人协助。但孙燕姿说:知道去非洲不会是件舒服的事,相信展望会会安排好一切,确保所有人平安。」

在完成这一趟公益之旅后,孙燕姿要继续为大陆、马来西亚的演唱会忙碌,林明蓉表示,燕姿尚未确定新的唱片约,对各方邀约还在思考中,「她和华纳的经纪约还有好一阵子,华纳也很有诚意留她,我不认为她已经确定了。」

Yz’s leaving for Congo tomorrow and will be back on the 23rd, her parents and fans are feeling worried. Afterall, its a place that even the Americans are warned by their Government not to go. Her trip includes spreading love to the children and people there, concern for the community medical station, infrastructure, water resources and local mines.

The concerns of the trip arise when they discovered that the political instability and news on people ‘eating fingers, eating human meat’. Initially, they were worried about the hygiene. Right now, security was another concern. Mercy Relief expresses concern saying that although Congo’s facing chaos due to war, the distance with regards to the event is 2000km away, and that it’s definitely safe. Yz says that she knows going to Congo will be an uncomfortable event, however she believes that the management has everything arranged properly, ensuring everyone’s safety.

After this event, yz will be preparing for her concert in Malaysia and decide on her contract as well.

    After reading this:
    “…The concerns of the trip arise when they discovered that the political instability and news on people ‘eating fingers, eating human meat’…”
