We estimate 10 student(s) from 16 to 17 will work on this entry.
Description of Our Community: The disabled people in Taiwan accounts for 5% of the population. Many disabled people are abandoned by society, and some even affect their families’ life a lot. Teacher Qihai Cai, a retired teacher from Changhua National Hemei Experimental School, saw one of his students fell in severe depression because she could do nothing at home. Teacher Cai was worried about they because they could not go to college or get employed due to disability. One graduated girl student mentioned that she didn’t want to forget the happiness when learning painting from Teacher Cai. Therefore, in 2012, Teacher Cai established the "Taiwan painting talk Association" in Taichung City. The purpose of the association is to bring art to the lives of people with disabilities. Moreover, he hopes that one day these disabled people could have an "art therapy center" to learn painting and to store their paintings, with which all the universities could know how to help disabled people with art.
Project Description: Every child with special obstacles has unique potential and talents. As long as they can help such children overcome innate obstacles, they can also learn, possess a skill, have confidence, and have the fun of living. However, they are often discriminated against and ignored. Hopefully, with the establishment of the Taiwan Painting Talk Association, they can create value for themselves. Therefore, we hope to raise funds for the Taiwan Painting Talk Association to build the "art therapy center" so that they can have a larger and more diverse environment to help more people with disabilities.
