During this year’s winter holidays, a total of 23 volunteer groups and 500 teachers and students went to rural areas around Taiwan. They made their way to Hualien, Pingdong, and Tainan, where they offered students guidance and support, held computer lessons and educational games that taught students about the importance of environmental conservation.

Among the volunteer activities organized was the 12th ‘Two Together’ Club Camp, which was held over three days (Jan 18-20) at the Tainan Municipal Heshun Elementary School in Southern Taiwan. Over the three-day camp, which took the theme ‘Noah’s Ark’, local students learned about ways to protect the Earth’s fragile natural environment, to more optimally use the resources available on hand, and to bring out their creativity and imagination.

During the camp, members of the Tamkang Two Together Volunteer Club wore two different sets of uniforms, one red and one coffee-colored. The red symbolizes youth and vitality, while coffee represents the spirit of overcoming difficulty.
