在林奕其的介紹下,我們認識了位在臺東的新馬蘭部落,自從那時候開始,我們只要一有機會便會回來這裡拜訪。在二零一五年的十一月去蘭嶼之前,我們在這裡舉辦了第一場工作坊,立刻就愛上了這裡的孩子們以及郭老師。郭老師展開雙臂擁抱我們,我們不難看出郭老師是如何用她的熱情與愛將部落的感情變得更緊密。

去年我們和花蓮的友善態度自然農園以及許多慷慨的贊助者合作,得以提供有機稻米給三十個家庭。而今年,隨著我們與這些孩子們的關係更加密切,我們決定將他們也劃入我們一年一度的聖誕佳欣 – 麋鹿專送的路線裡,將純素食的營養物資送給這些家庭。

在十二月二十三日那天,我們從台北出發當天來回,親自將這些物資交到他們的手中。在開始前,我們忍不住花了一個小時快速地和孩子們一起做了無麩質的椰子雪人點心。因為許多來自部落的支持,我們才得以實現所有孩子們的願望清單,並且在這寒冷的冬日裡提供溫暖以及營養物資給這些家庭。中間還有一段美妙的小插曲,我們從郭老師那得知,其實還有另外一個來自他們部落裡青少年的願望清單,希望收到長袖運動衫和毛衣,但未能準備到,湊巧的是,我們在最後一刻收到,來自台灣的街頭服飾品牌DSSENT的贊助裡,事先完全不知道這份清單的DSSENT,不僅剛好準備了清單上的東西,甚至還多了其他的小驚喜。

最後,謝謝郭祐慈老師以及羅玉淮的幫忙,像聖誕佳欣的小矮人們一樣,幫我們把這些物資送到他們手中。也再次感謝大家的支持!

Ever since we were first introduced to ShinmaLan in Taitung by Ichi Lin, we have been coming back! In our first workshop took place in November 2015 during a stopover to Orchid Island and we fell in love with the kids and also Teacher Kuo! She embraced us and we could see how her passion and love brought the community closer together.

Last year in a collaboration with Hualien Friendly Farm 友善態度自然農園 and generous sponsors, we were able to provide organic rice to 30 families. This year as our relationship with the children strengthened we decided to loop them into our annual Santa Jia-Xin Gift and Necessities Drive, providing plant-based food staples to select families.

On December 23rd we headed down for a one day trip to deliver the items in person. We couldn’t resist a 1 hour get together with kids to make quick raw gluten free coconut snowpeople with them before the gift deliveries. With the support of so many from the community, we were able to fulfill all of the children’s current wishlist and provide some warmth and nourishment to their families this chilly month. What was also amazing was Teacher Kuo letting us know that their community had a separate wishlist from teens asking for sweatshirts and sweaters that were not fulfilled – but a last minute donation of brand new quality apparel from Taiwan streetwear brand DSSENT who had no idea of their wishlist, met and exceeded their expectations.

Thank you Teacher Kuo 郭祐慈and 羅玉淮 for everything in helping us be Santa Jia-Xin’s elves in delivering the items! Thank everyone for their support!
