Description of Our Community: Hualien is the place where we grew and started our life. It is beautiful not only because of its grand scenery but multicultural ethnic faces. “I love Hualien. It is the place where lots of intellectuals born and gathered. We have clear water, blue sky, white clouds and green mountains. Everything here is supposed to be beautiful and born natural.” Speaking of Hualien, it’s the place with high living quality and fresh air. It’s really a wonderful place. However, because Hualien is not on an advantageous location, we do have developing difficulties on traffic and economic aspect. It is obvious that we don’t have enough medical resources and equipments, especially in the South part of Hualien. Being residents in Hualien, we have to strive for progress and devote ourselves to our hometown.

Project Description: Is it real that we only dreamed when we were young? Would it be more romantic if there were a middle-aged man who held his dream and went toward his dream constantly? In fact, there is a doctor with the spirit of Scheweitzer in our little plain town. He is Dr.Zhen-Tai Su.Dr.Su not only gave up a work with rich income and better living circumstances in Taipei, he also sacrifices his time and mind for those people who lived remote areas. He helped people in need no matter where they were including those who did not live in Taiwan. He contributed himself to those people in need on medical care, education and social services. Like Scheweitzer who had served in underdeveloped Africa and stayed in the forests for near half a century in the past, with the same kind of devotion and unselfish love, Dr.Zhen-Tai Su has made kindness and warmth show in our ordinary world again.
