[Chiayi]
Currently in our society, many youths have fallen
into poverty and discontinued their academic studies because of family disruptions
such as parental divorce, injury or death. Lacking the love and care of parents
and the skills needed to earn a living, they are direly in need of societal
intervention. Thus, a group of non-governmental organizations and enterprises
in Chiayi, Formosa, sponsored a benefit entertainment party entitled, "Love
in Chiayi - Show our concern for the Youth" to raise funds to help these
youngsters return to school. Upon learning of this meaningful activity, the
Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Chiayi provided volunteers
to help, and also contributed NT$10,000.
