  From Doctor to Hairstylist: Vietnamese Ding Thi Hai Achieves Her Dream with the Dream Building Project

  The "Dream Building Project for New Immigrants and Their Children," organized by the Immigration Agency, has entered its 11th edition this year. The project is now open for applications, providing up to NT$300,000 in Dream Realization Funds. The Tainan First Service Station of the Southern District Affairs Brigade invited Ding Thi Hai, a 10th edition awardee from Vietnam, to share her journey of pursuing dreams and tips on writing project applications to encourage new immigrants to boldly chase their dreams.Ding Thi Hai said she was inspired by her mother, who was a nurse, and aspired to become a doctor from a young age. After graduating high school, she was admitted to a medical school in Vietnam and obtained her medical practice license upon graduation. However, due to financial difficulties, she couldn't realize her dream of practicing medicine. To support her family, she turned to selling handmade snacks but eventually moved to Taiwan as a caregiver due to insufficient income, seeking a new opportunity for herself and her family.In Taiwan, with her cheerful personality, Ding Thi Hai found happiness and settled in Tainan with her husband. After marriage, her husband fully supported her in learning new skills. She managed a restaurant during the day, taught Vietnamese at night, and hosted cooking and weaving classes on weekends, demonstrating her passion for life and determination to pursue her dreams. Last year, she moved to Yunlin to take care of her elderly mother-in-law and joined the "Dream Building Project," using the funds to establish "Dexin Beauty Workshop." The workshop not only provides regular free haircut services but also serves as an essential space for Vietnamese community interaction and mutual support. She said, "If you sincerely want to do something, many forces will come to help you."Ding Thi Hai participated in the "Dream Building Project" and used the startup funds she received to establish the "Dexin Beauty Workshop."

  [Dream Building] Planting Crinum Lily Along the Creek: Natural Farming Creates a Win-Win for Wetlands, Schools, and Communities Join Hands to Conserve Freshwater Plants

  The "Newcomer and Children's Dream-Building Plan," hosted by the Immigration Agency, is now in its 10th year. Since its inception, the plan has been dedicated to helping new immigrants and their children achieve their dreams. Participants have demonstrated incredible enthusiasm and perseverance in their journeys to realizing their dreams, and their achievements and joys have inspired countless others. We will introduce the outstanding award winners of this year's "Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Group," showcasing how these new immigrants are giving back to their new homeland. Not only are they serving the community, but they are also contributing to environmental protection and sustainable development of this land.'Planting Beauty-Leg Plants Along the Creek, Balancing Wetland Ecology for a Win-Win' - Ye Xiaoli & Lan YunmeiYe Xiaoli leases farmland along the Bashang Creek to cultivate bamboo shoots, hoping to expose her children to healthy farming practices through natural farming methods. She utilizes fish-vegetable symbiosis and earthworm processing of agricultural waste to promote wetland biodiversity, reducing the cost of fertilizers and pest control. She also introduces fish co-existence, avoiding the use of pesticides. She also uses the eggs of water apple snails to make organic liquid fertilizer, achieving resource recycling.With the assistance of the Dream-Building Plan and cooperation with Chiayi City Community College, Ye Xiaoli hosts beauty-leg food and agriculture education sharing activities, allowing participants to experience the process from planting to the table. This deepens their appreciation for farmland and makes more people understand the hard work and value of farming.Yeh Hsiao-Li collaborated with Chiayi City Community College to organize an educational event on food and agriculture featuring water spinach.

With the support of their natural science teacher, Xu Lingxiang, they joined the Dream-Building Plan. They observed the characteristics and functions of common Tamsui plants, compiling their research findings into a plant database accessible to schoolmates. Collaborating with experts at Tamsui Community College, they created easily understandable plant learning brochures for students and also established a plant seed bank, preserving various plant seeds to lay the groundwork for ecological conservation. Through these efforts, they not only enhanced their understanding of local plants but also became role models for maintaining the ecological environment, demonstrating their concern for their new homeland.Teacher Hsu Ling-Hsiang led brothers Hsieh Shih-Fan and Hsieh Shih-Yu in observing common plants in the Tamsui area.
