While we are focused on getting the association registered so we can begin to properly fundraise, workshops for this year have been decreased. However, interest has not waned as within 48 hours of registration our first official workshop in ChingChuan was full for both volunteers and kids alike.
Our fun adventure to ChingChuan began with some vehicle mishaps in Taipei. That didn’t stop us as our good-natured volunteers were still determined to make the 2 hour journey to see the kids. After arriving in ChingChuan,we broke down tasks and split into three groups whom worked together learning how to create a short film from selection of venues, props, story telling, creation of storyboards. Morning snacks of mini croissants and apple slices were munched on as each group mulled over the infinite possibilities for their movie.

Groups selected their costumes, a good supply thanks to the teachers and Carleen’s English Learning Center. They took turns to go downstairs to create their English muffin mini pizzas for lunch. Our volunteers, especially Jeff Yang, took a good portion of the morning to prepare some wonderful vegetarian toppings to give kids and big kids a fun nutritious selection of bell peppers, tomatoes, seasoned mushrooms, and pineapples. He even slid in a small platter of chopped bananas for the more adventurous.

While their pizzas got toasty they continued on the brainstorm train and drew out storyboards and assigned roles. A delicious lunch of fruit salad and SALADAY’s famous pumpkin soup was served to accompany the kids mini pizzas. With a short rest break the groups got together again as they couldn’t wait to start shooting their films!
