¡» In
what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and
spokespersons for your International Schools CyberFair project
both on-line and in person. |
Our
research team truly wish that the Beitou residents would acquire
the facts by our research work that we have such an excellent,
sweet and amicable neighbor in the community. That is why we utilize
various ways to arouse the memory and attention of the public.
| 1. |
To solicit writings and feedbacks on the internet: to keep
a special space on the internet in order to solicit writings
and feedbacks of the visitors to narrate their passions
and old memories for Morinaga Co.. |

To interview the children who have paid visit to Morinaga
Co.. |

each and every one on the internet about the research work
of our team as well as to share with them our feelings and
the achievements. |

¡» What
has been or will be the impact of your project on your community? |
1. |
Morinaga
Co. is a Japanese enterprise. The goal of research team
to set up this web page is not only for the natives but
also for the foreigners to have a better understanding of
the contribution that Morinaga Co. have offered to Taiwan.
The Morinaga Co. is not an enterprise with a single aim
to make profits in running business, but also to associate
with the people of Beitou community, so they could gain
the friendship of the Taiwanese people as a result. |
2. |
The
foreigners, while browsing this web page, could have a perception
of Morinaga Co.¡¦s successful experience in running business
in Taiwan, so it would be quite possible that they come
up with an interest of investing in Taiwan too. In recent
years, quite a number of large businesses have moved out
of Taiwan for various reasons. We are in the hope that our
web page would have some contributions to Taiwan, the beautiful
land. |
3. |
The
former chief of Bashan borough expressed particularly his
gratitude to Morinaga Co. for the numerous job opportunities
they have offered to the local residents in Beitou since
their establishment, the Chief borough also hopes that Morinaga
Co. would offer scholarships to the students of the community;
besides, their participation in the activities of the borough
will be most welcomed. Morinaga Co. gave favorable responses
to both requests, i.e., to positively cooperate with the
activities of the Bashian borough, and to offer scholarship
as a feedback to the residents of the community, also they
promised that they will continuous assistant in holding
the field trips for the students of elementary school. |
4. |
This
special topic research work has changed the study behaviors
of the students and their parents, which enables us realize
the amazing convenience for communicating and the prevailing
influence of the internet. In addition to broaden one self¡¦s
scope in the domain of informative knowledge by surfing
on the internet, moreover, we have understood the fact that,
even a small potato like us, an elementary school student,
could play the role as an important bridge between the community
and the world, this realization allows oneself to be more
positive and more confident than before, that by working
hard, one will absolutely make some contributions to the
humankind. |

¡» How
did your project involve other members of your community as helpers
and volunteers? |
1. |
In
the first place, we asked the parents to be sure that they
would assist the students in solving all kinds of difficulties
arising in the course of their research work, such as: to
guide the children to think deeper, to correct their errors
whenever they made mistakes in the writing, and to instruct
them in effectively using computer software. |
2. |
Secondly,
in order to do some in-depth surveys and interviews outside
of the school, we are therefore need some volunteer parents
to transport the children with their own vehicles, so that
the safety of the children could be even more assured. |
3. |
In
order to have a more dynamic research and a more attractive
web page, we asked the borough chief, Mr. Chen YinLing,
section chief of Morinaga Co., the customers of the welfare
store of the Morinaga Co., and the students of Wenhua Elementary
School to accept our interview invitations. |
4. |
With
the view to let the visitors be able to browsing smoothly
our web page, we asked the experienced specialist to instruct
us as unpaid volunteer in doing the web page designing work. |

| ¡» Discoveries,
Lessons and Surprises |
1. |
When
we paid a visit to the Morinaga Co., we were requested by
the guiding personnel of the Morinaga Co., that we should
put on dust-proof clothes and dust-proof hat before entering
the disinfection chamber during our visit in the factory.
We are also not supposed to take the picture of the facilities
whenever we wished to take any photos. The manufacturing
process is really extraordinary, the amazing machine could
function perfectly with very few employees, but with remarkable
efficiency. As to the working staff, the extremely serious
working attitude of these Japanese impressed all the visitors.
Besides, it seems that the nature of the Japanese are pretty
conservative, they were not so comfortable with our interviews
nor would they take the initiative to make a statement. |
2. |
During
the course of our research work, we interviewed more than
300 elementary students for our special topic study, and
have realized that children are truly deeply fond of all
kinds of sweets and various cartoon pictures. Although it
is the adults who have the purchasing power, but obviously,
they are willing to buy the products as a present to encourage
the youngsters. The most interesting thing is, the irresistible
charm of these idols and the popular cartoon figures is
sometimes much greater than sweets itself. |
3. |
Morinaga
Co. are doing quite an excellent job regarding the selling
access and marketing. For normally, we could buy their product
almost everywhere. Not only they maintain the original flavor
and packaging of the sweets, but also they constantly develop
new techniques to present new products and new flavors to
the consumers. I think this spirit of taking both tradition
and creation into account in managing business is an ideal
model for us to learn. |
4. |
We
have learned by doing the researching work that Morinaga
Co., is an enterprise who persistently manufactures products
with high quality, and constantly holds field trips for
the elementary students in response to the demands of neighbors;
of course the neighbors themselves are deeply appreciate
the excellent products of Morinaga Co., also the visitors
are filled with gratitude and satisfaction after paying
the visit to the Morinaga Co. We do believe that by fulfilling
the interviews and doing the surveys, there will be so much
more gratitude, support, and blessing for both the Morinaga
Co., and the residents in the community from each one of
them. |
