1. Description of Our Community
Hemei is a small town in north Changhua, and it is one of the earliest developed towns in Taiwan. Our ancestors came here 300 years ago, so that today's Hemei becomes the economic center of Changhua County. In 1992, TFCF moved to the Mrs. Song-chou Xu children's museum, and established the Child Development Center in 1993 to help the disadvantaged and children. Hemei became the town of “peace” and 'love'! http://librarywork.taiwanschoolnet.org/gsh2014/gsh7807/vision.html
2. Summary of Our Project
Taiwan Fund for Children and Families is a well-known social welfare organizations, but very few people know its Child Development Center, so He-Ren loving angels explore this center located in Hemei, Changhua. The Child Development Center takes care of children under 12 years old who have delays or disabilities. We call these children as slow-flying angels. These angels cannot receive education with healthy children of the same age, or even cannot take care of themselves, so they are most in need of care and help in the growth process. http://librarywork.taiwanschoolnet.org/gsh2014/gsh7807/company.html

5. Our Project Sound Bite
•Through the opportunity of Cyberfair, we were be able to visit the Child Development Center and get to know these slow-flying angels. Their growth path was more difficult than ordinary people. I saw a totally different world. They long for people’s understanding, not mercy. •Our resources are limited, but our love is endless. We served as good local ambassadors, and introduced these forgotten slow-flying angels to the public, in order to help them more. http://librarywork.taiwanschoolnet.org/gsh2014/gsh7807/jobs_1_1.html
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Fly ! Slow-flying Angels - the miracle of love is all in the Child Development Center – the theme aims at caring for the community and helping the children, so the main objectives of our projects are 'life education ', 'character education' and 'community care.' Hope that students will love and care for slow-flying angels (under 12 years old) with disabilities and developmental delays with active, positive, and enthusiastic attitude, to raise funds for education and learning , living supplies, and medical rehabilitation. Furthermore, we like to add humane care in Taiwan Cyberfair 2013 to inject new energy, and spread love from the He-ren Elementary School ! http://librarywork.taiwanschoolnet.org/gsh2014/gsh7807/product_2.html
