這是我們第一次參與台東新馬蘭部落的豐年祭，同時也是我們加入這個社群的第十個年頭。能夠受邀參與這樣的重要時刻，我們深感榮幸，也非常感動地看見那些我們一同陪伴長大的孩子，如今已開始承襲阿美族文化的精神與傳統。

他們穿著色彩繽紛、充滿細節的傳統服飾，交織出令人目不轉睛的視覺饗宴；當他們用族語齊聲歌唱時，那份和諧與力量讓我們熱淚盈眶，內心無比激動，因為能感受到他們對自身文化的驕傲與認同。我們也從一旁靜靜觀察與學習，有時跟著跳起舞來，雖然我們的肢體協調還有進步空間
而最讓我們感動的時刻，是與老師和家長們相聚，並與2015年迎接我們的孩子們一同慶祝這十年的陪伴與連結。
謝謝新馬蘭部落一路上的接納與支持，我們期待與下一代一同迎向未來十年的旅程！
As it happened, this was the first time we finally joined in ShinMaLan FUKID’s annual indigenous harvest festival and also our 10th year anniversary as part of the community. We are so honored to have been invited and touched to see the children we grew up with now upholding the heritage and tradition of their indigenous Amis culture.
The brilliant hues in their elaborate attire, vibrant neon pinks and greens were mesmerizing. Paired with the voices singing in harmony in their language, it flooded us with emotion and we felt ecstatic knowing that they were proud of their tradition. We also learned a lot in quiet observation and some dancing (personally not great coordination on our part).
The highlight for us was seeing the teachers and parents ; and marking our 10th year with youths that welcomed us in 2015. Thank you for allowing us on this journey and we look forward to the next 10 years and new generation at ShinMaLan.

希望能夠增進社群參與的機會，臺灣嚮光誕生了。創辦人Daisy不但提供了一個交流互動的平台，同時也提供了資源與諮詢，任何懷抱熱情的人都得以創立專題工作坊、成為正向改變的催化劑。藉由共度優質的美好時光，臺灣嚮光希望促進人與人之間共依互存的關係，將人與人之間的互動推向更深一個層次。未來，我們希望志願服務不再是一個需要推廣的概念，志工也不再是一個需要招募的外來對象，而是昇華成為社群內、人際間更深一層的關懷。
Our Neighborhood
Bright Side’s well rounded support system is an engaged and interactive community effort. Anyone with passion is empowered to be a catalyst for positive change. Bright Side is about boosting symbiotic relationships and moving people to a deeper level of interaction by quality time spent with each other whether it’s sharing an everyday moment with someone or planning a charity event.
In the future there will no longer be clear-cut lines on volunteering or “volunteers” but simply, neighbors and people there for each other. This is what caring and compassion is all about. Welcome to the Neighborhood!
