🏢 About the local organisation
Zhong-Xing Community Development Association is known for its caring for the elderly and people with intellectual & developmental disabilities in Daliao. Our goal is to make people living in this community could help and support one another like a big and warm family.
Recent years, we have tried to develop different ways in order to show the elders¡¯ potentials and wisdom (like publishing their life-story books). With the community¡¯s multi-culture (residents included people from Mainland China and Taiwanese), Zhong-Xing found out unique scenic attractions (like Feng-Huang hill, etc.). Also, we invented tasty food with adzuki bean (one of local crop), such as sticky rice with adzuki bean sausage, adzuki bean with pearl barley soup.
During the 7 days, we will lead you to experience how we live and what we do in this big family. The best part is that you would have a special trip and unforgettable experience, to interact and learn with local elders, and help with elderly caring (such as accompanying elders to and fro their houses and supermarket).
If you are interested in experiencing the elders¡¯ wisdom, Zhong-Xing work-camp is your best choice.
