Description of Our Community: Some people think children with disabilities are coming to this world to collect debts, but in my opinion they are angels. They are always carefree and not afraid of anything along the way. When parents worry about something, they are not affected but still like immortals. Instead, parents are influenced by them, learn the meaning of happiness, and do their best. Shehng-Yuan Children Development Center was founded in 1989 by Alex Horng, the Chairman of Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Company. Because Alex’s son Jimmy was suffered from a serious case of jaundice, Alex hoped to establish a center where kids with the same problem can have a well-rounded learning environment. As a father, Alex knows the hardship of parents taking care of kids alike. He just wants to help these parents and kids. As a result, he founded Shehng-Yuan. Just like what Chairman Horng told his faculty and staff, “with determination, any problems will be overcome.”

Project Description: Shehng-Yuan Children Development Center is located at 149, Yi-Yung Rd., Ling-Ya Dist., Kaohsiung City. If you want to pay a visit to Shehng-Yuan from the north, you can take the Chiu-Ju exit, turn left, drive straight, turn right at Cheng-Yi Rd., drive to Yi-Yung Rd. and then you will see Shehng-Yuan in 50 meters on the right. If you want to pay a visit to Shehng-Yuan from the south, drive to Chien-Kuo 1st Rd., turn right, drive straight, turn right at Cheng-Yi Rd., drive to Yi-Yung Rd., and then you will see Shehng-Yuan in 50 meters on the right. Although the location of Shehng-Yuan is in the middle of the busy city, with vehicles comings and goings, very few people know the existence of such a lovely place. Here at Shehng-Yuan, every kid needs taking care of to grow. The purpose of Shehng-Yuan is to serve with love, concern and take care of children with disabilities and less privilege, help them learn to conquer barriers they will face in the society in the future.
