Deepen cultural development through vocational education and support local communities(such as the Bagelang Boat-

Mountain Forest Base, the Saksaluan Hunter School). The Alliance also introduced professional instructors from the
industry to teach semester-long courses, tour guide talent has been developed, leading to the formation of the “BINBIN
Ecotourism Alliance” and the “Island Living Co-Learning Network”
2.
Establishing Junyi School as a model base for transformative education:
Deepen the education model in remote areas and cultivate future talents in the Hualien and Taitung regions.
3.

Construction has been underway since 2014 and it is slated to open in the spring of 2025. Combining art, aesthetics, and
natural landscapes, it will become a demonstration platform for international art exchange and sustainable tourism.

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
Although National Health Insurance provides comprehensive medical coverage, remote areas still lack medical resources and compassionate care. The Student Medical Service Team not only provides medical care and health education, but also receives guidance from medical staff, allowing medical students to integrate their classroom learning and experience the pure sense of service. The Foundation provided partial funding for five medical and health education public service camps in 2024. These five service teams involved over 500 participants and served more than 2,600 people.
