Taiwan Immigrants' Global News Network-Cross-Cultural Friendships with No Distance! My Migrant Worker Pen Pal Program Helps Children Discover Different Cultures

The "My Migrant Worker Pen Pal" program received an overwhelming response last year, with 1,922 letters collected from 45 schools across 14 cities. Through letter exchanges, students not only connected with migrant workers from afar but also developed empathy and understanding. When these letters reached the hands of migrant workers, they deeply felt the impact of sharing their stories with Taiwanese children.

To further promote awareness of migrant worker issues, One-Forty has partnered with "FamilyMart Here" to launch the "Friendly Migrant Workers Together" initiative. This program invites six migrant pen pals from Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines to share their personal stories. Through FamilyMart's FamiPort store-to-store service, learning kits containing custom pen pal stationery, lesson guides, and story cards will be sent to teachers, enabling more schools to participate in this meaningful cultural exchange.Inviting 6 migrant worker pen pals from Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines to share their personal stories, fostering Taiwanese students' understanding and connection with different cultures.
