每每來到清泉，總會有意想不到的事情發生！有多少位孩子會出現？誰會真的出席？誰沒有報名卻會過來打招呼？毫無疑問的是，只要季節水果沙拉一登場，總是立馬被掃盤，以及每位孩子總是精力充沛，隨時準備迎接任務。

本次課程我們預計完成三種不同國家的餅，帶領孩子完成自己的午餐，在嚮食文化探索的課程中，盡情享受美食。
– 美味環球菜單 –
1. 印度咖哩佐植物肉丸搭配饢餅
2. 莎莎醬墨西哥餅
3. 台式花生麥仔煎
午餐時間一到，每一組端出他們用心製作的料理，並向大家介紹該文化及食物的起源，每道料理看起來都相當美味，值得一提的是，孩子們喜歡印度風格的椰奶咖哩，搭配著印度香米和印度烤餅，一口接著一口。
清泉孩子的熱情特別感動人，他們熱衷於學習的心讓人難以忽視，在短短的幾小時，我們珍惜彼此相處的時光。有幾位10-12 年前曾參與課程的嚮光孩子過來接他們的兄弟姐妹，他們都成長了許多，而人生很短暫，我們一起拍照紀錄這份特別的情緣和回憶。
我們需要大朋友志工加入嚮光的旅程，一起陪伴清泉、桃園和苗栗的孩子，相信有更多人一起投入，參與選擇愛計畫，世界將會更為光明。
備註：這堂工作坊是在VAST聖誕餐會時，從萬華孩子那邊得到的啟發，感謝孩子的巧思！

Coming to ChingChuan we never know what to expect – how many children will show up? Who will actually come? Who didn’t register but will stop by and say hello? What we do know is that without a double, each and every time, first is that the seasonal fruit salad with coconut milk no matter the quantity we prepare, will be cleaned out, and secondly, each child that comes is always full of energy and just so ready to help us out in whatever is needed.
With eyes full of wonderment, we split into three groups with three tasks. Today we chose to make three various types of breads/carbs from three countries. One thing we love to do is empower kids to make their own lunch – our Culture through Cuisine, adds extra layers of deliciousness to the lesson plan.
The global menu: Indian curry with naan bread, which included making the curry and rolling some meatballs; Mexican chips and salsa, and to satisfy the sweet tooth, Taiwan’s very own biscuit pancake with classic peanut powder sandwiched in-between. At lunchtime each group presented their gourmet dish along with the aspects of the culture from whence it came and why it was eaten. The meals they made were a success and to our relief, they wholeheartedly welcomed the Indian styled coconut curry and loved the basmati rice and naan to pair with it.
Children never cease to amaze me, especially in ChingChuan, their enthusiasm, their passion to learn, is something that all of us should take into account. We should also always treasure the moments we have together – during these few hours we had some of our “young adults” that joined classes 10-12 years ago stop by to pick up their siblings and we made a point to get some photos in. Life is so short and the wonderful times we have together should be treasured.
What we definitely need lately are more Big Friends who can make the journey up to ChingChuan, to Taoyuan, to MiaoLi, and honestly, everywhere with us. The world can only be a brighter place if we can all get involved and become an active participant in making that happen.
We also want to note that workshop was also inspired by our Wanhua kids after an exceptional Christmas Dinner that was hosted by VAST. So thank you kids!
