She carries the weight of the family's responsibilities, often taking Wen-Yang to community service activities to express gratitude to those who have helped them. Inspired by their community leader, Teacher Long Xian, during their volunteer work, they decided to embark on a cultural heritage journey through the Dream-Building Plan. They hired professional instructors to teach welcoming drums and Taiko drums, forming a welcoming Taiko drum teaching class.Under the patient guidance, the students gradually mastered the skills. They ultimately held two small community performances, receiving positive feedback.

She diligently studied, successfully entering National Taiwan University's medical school, taking the first step toward her dream. However, as her medical knowledge grew, she also realized that many elders neglected the importance of health check-ups. To raise awareness among the elderly about health, she organized a special seminar, inviting professional doctors to discuss chronic disease prevention and proper medication. She and her mother personally designed promotional flyers and visited the Meilin community. These actions brought Ting-Yun closer to her dream of becoming a doctor, and also allowed her to deeply appreciate the importance of medical work and its social impact.

  The "Newcomer and Children's Dream-Building Plan," organized by the Immigration Agency, is entering its 10th year this year. Since its inception, the plan has been dedicated to helping newcomers and their children achieve their dreams. Participants' journeys in realizing their dreams have demonstrated incredible passion and perseverance, 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," and see how these newcomers are giving back to their new home. Not only are these newcomers and second-generation immigrants serving society, but they are also contributing their efforts to the environmental protection and sustainable development of this land!Chen Yu-Hsuan overcame illness and received support from the NIA Dream Building Project with "The Sweet Legend of Liu Jia" (Photo/Source: NIA FB)"The Legend of Half-Sweet Six-Acres" - Chen Yuxuan & Lin ZiweiA few years ago, Chen Yuxuan, due to health issues, began to focus on health foods. The sweet potato plant, rich in fiber, iron, and potassium, also possesses the benefits of cooling the body, relieving summer heat, promoting detoxification and having antioxidant properties. Therefore, she and her son, Ziwei, decided to use the Dream-Building Plan to help them cultivate sweet potato plants on a half-acre plot of land. During the planting process, they faced challenges from pests and diseases. Traditional farming methods rely on chemical pesticides, which negatively impact health and the land.Thus, they chose a non-toxic, environmentally friendly farming approach. They promote symbiosis, companionship, learning, and sharing between farmers and the land. They hope to encourage more people to participate in environmentally friendly farming, understand its benefits, and enjoy non-toxic sweet potatoes and vegetables, contributing to the protection of the environment and the promotion of biodiversity."100 Fresh (Organic and Non-Toxic) Fresh Produce Farm" - Lin Fen & Zhang Yaling & Zhang YazhenLin Fen upholds the principles of non-toxic and eco-friendly farming to cultivate healthy fruits and vegetables (Photo/Source: NIA FB)Lin Fen overcame economic hardship to transform from an office worker to an agricultural expert. With the support of her children, she participated in the Dream-Building Plan, and received funding to expand her farm. Adhering to non-toxic and environmentally friendly cultivation methods, she planted tomatoes, cabbages, and kale, and utilized social media for marketing. With increased production, Lin Fen regularly donated her harvest of vegetables and fruits to the church, and recycled discarded fruits from other farmers to make enzymes or compost. She continuously strives for environmentally friendly farming practices, hoping that more people can enjoy the non-toxic, healthy vegetables and fruits she has grown herself.More information: Applications for the 11th Dream Building Program for New Immigrants and Their Children are now open, helping you achieve your dreams!Source:National Immigration Agency NIA Facebook
