Rinan Community of Dajia District which is located in the northernmost part of Taichung city. Before development of industrial zones, most of residents was developing agriculture production. They planted rice and taro, fed ducks and chickens etc. After the development of industrial zone, factories hire a lot of foreign workers to produce labor work. But at the same time, the population of the prime outflowed seriously, and many elderly and children still in the community. Our community become lacking vitality and creativity. Also, our community is in the rural areas, few foreigners can enter the community and interact with the residents. We hope that the joining of volunteers will make the community more vital and enable young people in the community to expand their international outlook.
Objective:
1) Get to know more information about Rina community and help with designing our community¡¯s logo and draw the well.
2) Volunteers can do some health promotion activities with the elders.

1) Accompany with the elder: our community hold health activities once a week. We expect the volunteers to take part, design interesting activities, so that the elder can experience different cultures, have fun, and learn new things from different perspectives.

4) Cultural exchange activities: we will have a time let volunteers to show their culture tradition with each other. To let the activities smoothly, volunteers can prepare some activities to let us know more about your cultures.
