LISTEN TO THE ECHO OF THE SEA

The Ding’an Community of Da’an District, Taichung City is located in the northwest corner of Taichung City, on the south bank of Da’an River. It is close to the Taiwan Strait. The residents are mainly farming and animal husbandry, planting rice, steamed bread, raising livestock, ducks and other poultry, and the industrial and commercial development is insufficient. The outflow of young people is serious. The elderly and children in the community are mostly lacking in vitality and creativity. Due to the aging of the population, there is a lack of motivation for the community. Because of the geographical location, the educational resources of children and children are relatively insufficient. I hope that the participation of volunteers will encourage children to pay attention to their hometown issues and expand their international outlook. It can also encourage residents to care about community affairs, and expects different cultural elements to collide with sparks. Aims: 1. Invite international volunteers to accompany children to understand the cultural history of the community, the ecological landscape of the estuary and make an investigation record during thesummer vacation. 2. Cooperate with the elderly care service bases of Ding’an to let international volunteers lead the elders for health exercises or the promotion activities for the elderly, so that the community elders are more interested in going out. 3. It is hoped that through international volunteers, young people in the community will be more interested in participating in community activities, so that young people in the community can introduce their own community characteristics to international volunteers.
