	< Additional information about Taishi >
	Taishi, located in the countryside of Yun-Lin County is a small, serene town in the middle of the western coast of 
	Taiwan.  Free from disturbance, Taishi is rich in marine resource such as oyster and shells.  For seafood lovers, 
	this is definitely a heaven.  However, with the industry transformation, the economic structure in Taishi are facing 
	challenges, population drain resulting from unemployment deepens the rural-urban divide.  Besides, a large number 
	of local residents are married to mail-order wife due to the poor social/economical status, and the amount keeps 
	increasing in recent years.  Because of the scarcity and unequal distributions of resource, children have limited 
	access to education, especially English learning environment.  Confronted with the conflicting situations, the 
	community people still lack of understating toward their own culture and social values.  Therefore, through the 
	workcamp held in Taish, we wish to promote global understanding, trigger the learning interests of children and 
	enhance their capacity of English through in-depth interactions between local residents and cross-national youths.  
	Empowering the young generation to think globally, act locally, we introduce Taishi to the world with a brand new 
	perspective

	NICE-VYA/62  Taishi 2  (* Taiwan)  16/08-30/08  EDU, KIDS, CONS  15 vols. (5 int.)
	Organized together with Vision Youth Action (VYA) and Taishi Hong-En charity Organization.  The very first project 
	was held in 2007 in Taishi successfully, so local residents advised VYA turn it into a regular activity.  Hong-En 
	offers a free afterschool tutoring project for local children from single-parent, Asian wife and grand parenting

	learning resources.

	 for children.  We will also renovate Hong-En’s office building by coloring the wall, cleaning up and cutting the grass
	 around the buildings, and redesign the space allocation for kids.
