How this woman saw the needs, and, just went and, provided it, and the kids who got into the programs are, benefiting from the homework help sessions that’s for sure! Off of the Newspapers, translated…
To help out the children of migrated families as well as children from lesser backgrounds, the C.E.O. of the “Taiwanese Extending the Love Foundation”, Chen set up the stations for children and adolescents in Mado, Tainan, as well as in Jiang-Jun too, in order to help out with her own household finances, Chen started working as a teaching assistant at the English cram schools at age eighteen, on the weekends, she’d, part-timed at the travel agencies, in 2008, she was riding on her scooter, and, had a crash, shattered her tibia and her patella, took eight months off to recover, during which time she had an opportunity to help with the afterschool tutoring for children of migrated individuals, she’d found, “working for the sake of helping out is more fulfilled to her, that it made her happier”.
Chen is currently the CEO of the Human Resources Development Foundation of Tainan and the Continuing the Love Foundation of Taiwan, the former was set up by her appointing professor, Chen, a not-for-profit that came from the class reunions, the latter was from a group of tourist agents, tour guides, bus drivers, the C.E.O. of the foundation, Yeh, was Chen’s work colleague from her former years of working as a tour agent, they’d turned the smaller amounts of money into, something greater, Chen collected the resources, and first set up the children and adolescent center in Mado locally, then, she’d, returned back to her hometown, Jiangjun to set up the centers in the local elementary school.

The help center provided the children who are from lower end of the socioeconomic statuses free afterschool homework help, most of the students were second-generations of migrated individuals, or cross-generation upbringing, or children without their parents, and, tutoring fell right into Chen’s area of expertise, a lot of the children who were in the program, after the help sessions, got to the first five places in the head of their classes.
There was a final year middle school student who’d, received the first place in the blueprints of mechanical designs of the city, and, got into the competitions of skills nationally, the single father who’d, not been able to find stable work, was inspired by his own daughter’s performances, now, he’d, gone to set up the stands to make more money to support his own family.
“Actually, I’d not done anything, only provided a quiet place for the students to study, the meals, and companionships”, Chen told, humbly.
For eight years, the help centers had been running, Chen was faced with her own tough disciplinary measures, driving the students away, or the students going astray, she’d wanted to give up, but she couldn’t let go of the children, that was why she’d kept offering the help. If you’re a fool, then, be a fool until, the very end.
And so, this woman has the heart, and, came up with a method, to help the students, become who they are meant to be, provided the students with the free afterschool homework help program, free of charge to them, because children who needed the extra homework help, are mostly from the less economically capable families, and this woman saw the needs, and, provided it, and she’s, making a huge difference to the children’s lives here.
