Lanyang Lends a Helping Hand

2011/10/05

For several years now, student clubs from TKU’s Lanyang Campus have been going into the community to help local school children learn essential life skills. The volunteer group consists of members from the Lanyang Campus Volunteer Group, the Lanyang Painting and Calligraphy Club, the Lanyang Puppet Club, and the TKU Lan-Hsuan Cub Scouts.

To date, TKU has sent a total of 1,710 teams out into the local community to guide and assist over 10,000 elementary students. These teams set out on Friday afternoons and go to local schools such as San Min Elementary, Longtan Elementary, and the Paolun Subdivision of Longtan Elementary, where they teach students English, painting / calligraphy, and perform puppet shows.

2nd year student and leader of the Lanyan Puppet Club, Huang Ya-lu, expressed that “I’m really happy to be able to interact with the local kids. Although preparation for the classes is tiring, the classes themselves are a lot of fun. I like teaching children because they’re really cute. The paintings they create are so colorful. You can see they have very vivid imaginations”.
