Bringing Care to the Community

2012/01/10

In winter this year, a vast legion of community volunteers from TKU societies and external service clubs will go out into the community to help those in need. From TKU, close to 500 teachers and students from 23 TKU societies and local volunteer groups will head to rural areas around Taiwan to provide free service and care to the locals. The volunteer groups are made up of Tamkang University alumni associations and societies, as well as a melee of community groups including environmental teams, counseling service organizations, and the Union Dolphins work team.

Before embarking on their philanthropic journey, the volunteers yesterday (Jan 9) attended a Charity Service Farewell Ceremony. At the ceremony, the President of TKU, Dr. Flora Chia-I Chang, encouraged TKU student clubs to incorporate an element of community service into their club curriculum. The Office of Student Affairs distributed heart-shaped cards to the volunteers; while fellow students gave them “caring for you” farewell presents and wished them all the best on their volunteer journeys.

The Farewell Ceremony ended with a large group photo of all attendees and volunteers.
