The Elites of Bao-Der-Hsin, Loved Helping Others Since They Were Younger

The heart of helping out, with the beliefs of how important it is, to give back to the community, these are, amazing young people! From the Newspapers, translated…

The two students from Jing-Hsin and Fuxing Middle Schools, Lin and Lao started volunteering at a very young age, they came out of 4,000 outstanding youth volunteers, and were awarded one of eight selected “Elite Young Volunteers Award” sponsored by Bao-Der-Hsin, they received the awards at the ceremonies yesterday.

Lin’s second year of middle school was his starting point of volunteering, when he was just in the fifth grade, he’d gone with his older sister, his best friend, to the night markets to advocate the importance of reading at the local night markets. Back then, Shen who’d already set up a website, whose parents worked as a street vendor at the local night markets, wrote her experience of entering the volunteer services into a book “A Million Dollar Wish”, and Lin and others wanted to encourage other children who are growing up in the night markets, they’d used their weekends and holidays, and gone to six separate counties and cities, to deliver the books to other children whose parents worked as vendors at the local marketplaces too.

Lin said, back then, there were a lot of the shop owners who’d told them, “My child won’t amount to anything even IF s/he reads this book”, it’d made the group of volunteers feel defeated, but there were more who were welcoming to the idea.

The second year student of Fuxing Experimental High School, Lao started in his second grade year, entered into the boy scouts, and followed the group into the community to offer the services, he’d even gone to Nepal and the Philippines to offer assistance to the locals after the natural disasters hit.

Lao said, after he’d entered into high school, he’d found his area of interest, he’d started paying closer attention to environment issues, the safety of produces, and received the first seedling instructor certification from American Boy Scouts Unit in Taiwan, they’d become a team of forty, and gone to the Walami No Traces Hiking Program, teaching people to dig up the holes, and educated the hikers to NOT leave any trash behind in the mountains too.

So, these are two amazing young people, who worked hard to dedicate their times to volunteer, bringing about awareness to the issues relating to the world, and we are in need of many of these younger generations who really DO care about this world, and they’d won the awards, because they deserve it!
