"Cross-Ocean Heritage of Scallion Pancakes - A Branch Store Dream" - Wu Yan-Fang & Wu Yi-En

Wu Yan-Fang, originally from mainland China, now resides in Xiao Liuqiu, Pingtung, where she runs her husband’s family’s scallion pancake shop. With her youngest daughter studying in Kaohsiung, Wu can only visit her on weekends. When she learned about the Dream-Building Project, an idea took shape, and she decided to open a branch in Kaohsiung, allowing her to be with her daughter and share the delicious scallion pancakes of Xiao Liuqiu with others.

In preparing for the branch, Wu Yan-Fang handled everything from setup to media promotion to attract customers. Her hard work paid off when the branch opened successfully. Yan-Fang also contributes to society by donating scallion pancakes to orphanages and nursing homes, bringing more light into others’ lives.

Pan Jin-Juan, from Vietnam, has been serving the elderly for over sixteen years, deeply committed to helping others. Inspired by Pan’s work, Liu Wei-Ting began volunteering at nursing homes, understanding seniors’ needs. Together, they founded the "Plant to Heal" team, focusing on elder care and horticultural therapy.Liu Wei-Ting's team promotes their group-designed board game in Japan (Photo/Source: NIA Facebook)

The team realized a lack of recreational facilities for seniors and, through the Dream-Building Project, designed outdoor board games for them. They even visited Japan to learn successful elder care practices, later incorporating these insights to enhance the board games. Moving forward, the team is devoted to improving seniors’ quality of life.
