Events 05-FEB-2009 updated!

Well, we arrived out to Le-Shan Nursing Home in Taipei County for mentally and physically disadvantaged kids (plus some young adults) on Sunday, the 18th of January, with supplies and stuff for the kids and the hard-working people out there.

We were also invited to join in on birthday celebrations for a number of the kids' birthdays which have fallen in January. So there was song and dance, a lot of birthday cake, desserts and sweets and what have you. All had a great time, and the craic was 90 for the time we were there.

Special thanks goes out to Ruth, Terri, Chloe, Angela, Peggy, Peter, Ah-Da, Michael and the four fans of Ella - excellent job people!

Very special thanks goes out to all the staff at Le-Shan Nursing Home for taking care of, and looking after all these kids. A job done by very special and dedicated people.

We will keep you all posted on upcoming events, activities etc. in the coming weeks. A very happy and healthy Chinese New Year to all!

We'll be paying a visit to the kids' cancer ward at the Veterans' Hospital in Tien-Mu this Christmas Day afternoon. They only allow so many people to visit the kids in the hospital for obvious reasons. We will be having our annual Christmas Dinner at Paco's Pizzeria on Christmas Evening - anyone interested in a seat at the table, please get in touch with Xiao Lour.

There will be a charity gig at Taipei's National Cheng-Chi/Zheng-Zhi University on the evening of Saturday the 27th of December. We've already had one successful event there in January of this year. Times are from 5:00pm (approx.) - 9:00pm (approx.) If interested in attending, please get in touch.

Hoping to re-visit Le-Shan Nursing Home sometime in January 2009 before the Chinese New Year. We'll have times and dates organised hopefully in early January.

Some updates on what has happened over the past three months, and what's happening over the next few weeks. Sorry we haven't posted anything for a spell, we've been busy with this and that. Things have settled down a wee bit now, so we hope that in 2009 we'll get things off to a good start.

Our last visit to a school was in early September to Xin-Guang Elementary School in Xin-Zhu County. Not the most successful Karma Relief trip, as there were a certain amount of kids missing on the weekend we visited (working on their family's land etc.) and some of the kids at the school were, shall we say 'uncooperative' when we were trying to organise activities - absolutely no fault of the kids though - they have a hard enough time as it is with life on the mountains without having to deal with a bunch of foreigners arriving up from Taipei. Anyway, supplies were delivered and the weekend spent there was enjoyable, considering. Many thanks to all concerned and involved.

We will be visiting the kids' cancer ward this Christmas Day afternoon at the Veterans' Hospital in Tien-Mu. Also there will be a charity gig (second event there after the first one in January of this year) at Cheng-Chi/Zheng-Zhi National University on Saturday the 27th of Dec. Details are posted on the 'Events' page.

Also, we hope to re-visit Le-Shan Nursing Home sometime in January 2009 before the Chinese New Year. We'll keep you posted on dates, times etc.

Once again, thanks a million to all who have donated, contributed and helped out during the year - you all know who you are. Wishing you all a very happy and healthy Christmas!

Football Fundraiser

Friday, July 18 to Sunday, July 20

Hualien Da- Rong Elementary School's football team (Taiwan under 12 champions) will be spending three nights and two days in Taipei. As Taiwanese champions they were due to attend international football competitions in Austria and Hawaii this July. Alas, due to a lack of funding, have had to cancel their plans and make do with a consolation prize of a weekend in Taipei. All the same, we shall endeavour to make their weekend in Taipei as memorable as possible.

On Sat. 19th there will be a friendly match between the school and a team of foreigners from Taipei ( possibly mixed).
Also MAFC - a Taiwanese team will be playing at some stage, too. On the morning of the 19th, beginning at 10:00am there will be a bazaar/bring-and-buy sale at the venue. Food and drink will also be on sale. Proceeds from the bazaar will be going to help out the football team with gear, organization, transportation etc. for their immediate future. Also, we're hoping to get some money to Mei-Yuan Elementary School in Miao-Li that badly needs a 'face-lift', re-wiring etc.

Anyone interested in helping out with the bazaar/bring-and-buy sale, please get in touch. If you've got stuff to sell, let us know. Also anyone with any ideas on activities for the day, such as amusement park games etc. please send us your thoughts.

Location: Da Jia He Bin Gong Yuan/ Da Jia Riverside Park Gate/Entrance No. 7http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=4450d09ce9&attid=0.1&disp=thd&view=att&th=11ab36b5a7a1dc6e

So, any advice you can give us will be appreciated, as it's a first for us. Please spread the word. Itinerary of the weekend with the kids in Taipei will be forthcoming.

Thanks a million!
