Project IntroductionProject IntroductionProject IntroductionProject Introduction In Taiwan, Even though young people growing up in

normal family are sometimes afraid of speaking English when

facing foreigners, not to mention the disadvantaged children.

So Love for Kids Project wants to provide those disadvantaged

children an English learning environment, and broaden their

mind as well as horizons.

The main work of project is to teach English to elementary

school children. In the class, you can design creative

English-learning activities or games for them. Just put all your

passion and crazy ideas! Besides as an English teacher, you may

also become a story teller! Share your own growing story,

experience and culture to lovely kids. And you can prepare

some traditional clothes, arts, music, dance as many as you can

imagine.

Apart from children, you will also interact with the elder in

this project. You may have teatime or long talk with them,

sharing your knowledge of health care or make your hometown

dessert for them. Simultaneously, you can learn more about

Taiwanese culture from the elder, such as speaking Taiwanese,

writing calligraphy, playing Chinese chess, making Taiwanese

dessert and so on.

With your love, enthusiasm and patience, this Love for

Kids Project can provide those disadvantaged a door to the

unknown, create pictures of the world never seen, and allow

adventure never dared.

Taiwan is a beautiful island with various landforms. Located on the subtropical

zone, and mountains and beaches are all over there. Climate here is warm and humid

in summer. You can experience the tropical atmosphere. The scenery there is also amazing. The sunrise and clouds in Alisan, the stones

of strange shapes in Taroko National Park, the beautiful beaches in Kenting all

than 100 distinctive night markets in Taiwan. People can buy food from street

vendors and enjoy while walking. Not only food but also traditional games, cheap

products, karaoke shows you can marvel at. You must try it and be amused by

Taiwanese hospitality.

Foods in Taiwan are delicious and multifarious. Traditional Chinese food are

everywhere on the street. Steamed buns are filled with pork, but variations include

hot juice in it! Oyster-filled omelet is another food you must try. The egg is added

forever. Truly hope you can come and enjoy every moment experience the diversity

of Taiwan!
