How we get started:
In May 25th, 2011 TECO Technology Foundation invited Lai Je Primary School students, who belong to Cou tribal group from Alishan Chiayi Province, to perform their singing in “Aboriginal Children’s Night”. Due to the shortage of expenses, they faced accommodation problems. As we were informed with their difficulties, our students and parents volunteered to open their homes and invited the aboriginal children as their guests of honor.
The children stayed with us for three days and two nights. They sat up in classes and participated in all of our school activities. They are outgoing children and are eager to meet many friends. In return, our students were also friendly enough to share with them the highlights of urban city life. Lai Je students also told us about life in rural areas, where transportation is inconvenient. Moreover, they talked about the disaster of typhoon Morakot, which had caused major damage to their homes. Yet, they were positive enough to rebuild their homes. Our students were greatly moved by their perseverance and learned a lesson: Never ever give up!
