Description of Our Community: Chungchuan Neighborhood is located at the northwestern tip of Changhua city, Changhua County, in central Taiwan. It has a total of 16 vicinities, approximately 1,260 households and 4,050 residents. Chungchuan Neighborhood was previously a quiet place. However, everything changed after Mr. Lian-fa Lin took over the position as the neighborhood chief in 2007. Community parks have been built in the town center where land price is high. The community has been mobilized with the establishment of a team of volunteer workers. As a result, Chungchuan Neighborhood has become one of the best communities in Changhua City. In 2011, it received the award from the Ministry of the Interior for its outstanding performance in community development.

Project Description: Chang Tai Junior High School serves a catchment area of 14 neighborhoods, including Chungchuan Neighborhood. The parks in Chungchuan Neighborhood are the hangout place for students after classes or over holidays. They play basketball or organize evening gatherings here. We have noticed Chungchuan Neighborhood’s achievement in the creation of a clean and green environment. Residents share a strong solidarity. We were curious why this has been the case so we contacted the person who drives the progress and development here, i.e. Neighborhood Chief Mr. Lian-fa Lin. After Mr. Lin took the helm in Chungchuan Neighborhood, he has been dedicated to community planning. He encourages residents to become volunteer workers and integrate community resources to take care of disadvantaged families. Under his effective leadership and inspiring enthusiasm, Chungchuan Neighborhood has achieved stellar results in local developments and services, and become the most beautiful community in Changhua City. The purpose of this Cyberfair project is to highlight the dedication and devotion of Mr. Lin so as to inspire students to love their home land and serve the general public.
