The
start of the cute version of the holy statues~~~~
After visiting the holy palanquin shop, we had a group
discussion with our teacher. We decided to use our hands and heads to plan
something for our upcoming school anniversary celebration. Somebody suggested
that since our topic title is “Rise of the god in Rixin, Raise the Palanquin
for Peace”, when there is a palanquin, there is a god, and when there is a god
one can pray for blessings and peace, we should make cute miniatures of holy
statues. One of the members went even further by suggesting that we make a life
size holy palanquin. After a great discussion, we’ve decided to make the plan a
reality. First, we invited our school art teachers Sheng-ping and Yi-zhu to be
one of your instructing teachers and help come up with a design plan.

School Anniversary
Celebration --- Mini Holy Statue Charity Sale
Due to the fact that it is
toward the end of the year and lots of elderlies who live in solidarity are in
need of help of charity from social groups, our teacher suggested that we start
a charity sale at our school’s 52nd year Anniversary celebration
carnival. We put our art works up for sale in the hope to donate the little bit
of money we made to the needy and show our care for the less fortunate of our
society.

Proceeds from the sale donated

Proceeds
from this charity sale came to $1500NT. Although it didn’t seem like a lot but
it’s a representation of our love and passion. With the help of our teacher we
donated the proceeds of the sale to the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation
Fuxing Township branch. Representative of the Genesis Foundation and our school
principal conducting the donation ceremony, and took pictures in the
Principal’s office in remembrance of this event.
