Toufen Junior High School Music Program

The Foundation collaborated with the Harvest365 Foundation of Chiayi City and Toufen Junior High School to establish the music education project at the school in September 2021. The Harmony choir, composed of grade 7 and grade 8 students, was taught by the professional choir teachers nurtured by Harvest365 and the music teacher of Toufen Junior High School. The team consisted of nearly 30 students. In addition to the routine club time, they also used after-school time for exercises. We hope to accompany the students through the art of singing and perform on stage at the annual Harvest365 Music Festival to stimulate motivation to learn and build self-confidence.

BOYO Social Welfare Foundation

The BOYO Social Welfare Foundation was established in 2002 to provide free “Remedial Teaching” homework guidance for elementary and junior high school children from economically disadvantaged families. We also provide “caring guidance” to provide every disadvantaged child with an appropriate parenting environment and train them with the basic skills so as to enhance their social competitiveness and give them the opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty in the future. Since its establishment 20 years ago, Boyo has continued to commit lots of manpower and resources to course design, supplementary learning materials, and the training of parents in communities. There are 17 tutoring locations, and they have served more than 2,000 students.

Teach for Taiwan Foundation

Teach for Taiwan (TFT) was established in 2013. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to solving the difficulty of educational inequality, hoping to create equal opportunities for every child. By training outstanding young people to teach in elementary schools in remote areas for at least two years, the difficulties faced by schools in remote townships due to difficulty in recruiting and frequent teacher turnover have been resolved. TFT has sent 355 young people to travel to rural areas. They have gone to schools in Taitung, Tainan, Pingtung, Yunlin, Hualien, and Nantou, helping more than 6,700 disadvantaged school children.

Public Welfare Activities on Medical Care and Education

In the past two years, due to the impact of the pandemic, it was very difficult for colleges and universities to organize camp activities. After the pandemic eased, club activities began to resume. With the aim to encourage medical universities to organize camps and teams to go deep into remote townships with scarce medical resources and promote public welfare services such as medical care and health education, the Foundation sponsored six camps teams to perform free medical consultations and part of the health education services in remote townships. The 6th Battalion had more than 300 members and served more than 2,400 people.

Pandemic Prevention Equipment for Medical and Teaching Fields

To strengthen epidemic prevention and public health in the fields of medical education and learning and to protect doctors, nursing staff, medical interns, and the public from being exposed to high risk of infection, the Foundation donated the “UVC deep-ultraviolet light” that can effectively control the amount of bacteria in the air. “Central Air Conditioning Sterilizer” was provided to Taipei Medical University and installed in the clinic, the waiting area, and the women‘s toilet in the 1F orthopedic outpatient area of the First Medical Building, Taipei Medical University Hospital. The UVC sterilizer is installed in the air conditioning duct. It does not shine at the human body, but directly disinfects the air. Through the continuous circulation of air in the air conditioning duct, it efficiently kills bacteria in the air, so it can effectively improve the safety of medical and teaching environments.
