Description of Our Community: Hualien has always been a place where people look forward to going, and are reluctant to leaving. As you drive along the East Rift Valley, the Coastal Mountain Range is on one side, the vast crystal blue ocean on the other. The topography, the soil of the Coastal Mountain Range varies considerably, and as you go farther inside, you will discover a different world, towering canyons, clear streams, and abundance in flora and fauna ecological resources, up stream you can have an even much better view of the big ocean from up above. Of course, besides its natural resources, Hualien also has simple folkways. Simple means that people want to settle disputes and bring about peace to their lives. However, when one’s rights are greatly challenged, when the underprivileged are helpless, we are grateful that this group, the Legal Aid Foundation Hualien branch office, is there to bring their good deeds of helping people into action. Through this study, we hope to fully show the importance of this group of legal aid staff and the peace and good deeds they bring to Hualien.
Project Description: Our subject of study is the Legal Aid Foundation. With this thorough research, we believe that our project can completely show forth the meaning of ‘trust’ and the value of ‘unity’. The Legal Aid Foundation also believes in the value of humanity and human rights. That’s why it combines the lawyers and the people in the local area, and looks forward into creating a warm society that is legal, logical, and sensible. Conflicts occur unavoidably between people, if we can solve the conflicts so that both parties can agree to and accept the settlement calmly; this is also the foundation of our society’s peace and order. But if one party is met with an enormous loss or there is an obvious situation of unfairness happening to one party, one can usually seek help through the law. However, this is almost impossible for the disadvantaged group of people. Through this study of the LAF Hualien branch office, we want to get a better understanding of how help can be given to the unprivileged, what help can be given them, and if these channels of can truly help them. Fortunately, the people there are very willing to accept our interviews and share with us their joy of helping people, even though they are already laden with their everyday work. We hope to explore the procedures of how they help the disadvantaged, how help is accomplished. How do they support the aid recipients? How do they spread their expertise throughout all the places in Hualien? How to get the best results with the present manpower? We believe that among the reasons for the many years of hard work and dedication of the LAF members is the goal they stand up for, to benefit the local people in Hualien. Our study is to try to explore the LAF Hualien branch, for us to have some idea about the law. To understand the happiness of helping others is also the source of our motivation. And through our research, we can also understand the hard work behind the group of law angels.
