Description of Our Community: Taiwan, as a small island, lies in the western Pacific Ocean, To the west is the Taiwan Formosa Strait, which separates Taiwan from the Chinese mainland. As to Taiwan’s climate, it is mostly subtropical. Taiwan has many indigenous species and every year the warm currents bring us plenty of fish. Also, with variety of local unique cultures, Taiwan is an ideal destination for international travelers. Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is the largest city and many government organizations are located here. For people living in Taipei, they have easy access to all kinds of public transportation including metro. Our school is located in Shilin District of Taipei City, and we have Shilin Night Market, National Place Museum, Taipei Children’s Amusement Park, Taipei Astronomical Museum, and Science Museum nearby.
Project Description: Since we got into junior high, we have been encouraged to take part in all kinds of volunteer work. Because of the precious experience, we enrich our learning outside the classroom and make contribution to our community. Thus, we are getting more and more interested in volunteer work. Once luckily we had a chance to interview Vivianna Lin, who used to work as a volunteer in an orphanage in Eswatini, and we also listened to her speech. From the interview and speech, we get to know how Vivianna’s dream of working as an international volunteer in Eswatini came into shape. Being enlightened by her contribution to homeless kids in Eswatini, we start collecting volunteer work information, join the yard-sale charity, interview the staff from Youth Development Administration and invite Taiwan Starlight Charity Association to have a fundraiser at our school fair. Through these activities, we have an insight of international volunteer work and its influence. Our members in this project also seize the chance to work as volunteers in school, reception in Taipei Astronomical Museum, recycle stations and community clean-up. We hope that we can make a difference in the world through volunteer work.
