RHYTHM OF NATURE MAKING MY COMMUNITY BECOME COLOR

Ding An community is located in the northwest of Taichung City, south of Da-An river, face to Taiwan Straits. Ding An is at the countryside. The residents here take agriculture and animal husbandry as dominant living. They plant paddy rice and taro; they raise fowl and duck. Industry and commerce are developed insufficiently so the outward migration of young population is serious. The main population of Ding An is elder and child. ItU s lack of vitality or originality. The community is short of power of community development due to the aging. We hope that the involvement of volunteers can encourage residents care about community and look forward to having something new from different culture exchanging.Aims:1.We would like to invite international volunteer to paint the walls of community which already painted last year.
