Description of Our Community: Our community at Kang Chiao International School is welcoming, supportive and academically driven. Students come from different cultures and backgrounds, which teaches us to understand people from different perspectives, and teaches us to be open minded, diverse is also a very important part of the community because it helps us learn and grow from each other. Everyone is encouraged to show respect to one another and work together. Teachers are knowledgeable, care about students and support them both in their studies and personal growth. In class, we learn to think critically, ask questions, and share our ideas. While outside the classroom, our school offers many opportunities to explore our interests. There are various clubs, sports teams, music programs, and leadership activities. Students can join activities that match their talents, whether it is basketball, debate, orchestra, or student council. These experiences help us gain confidence, learn responsibility, and develop new friendships. At Kang Chiao, we do not only focus on academic success but also on building good character and preparing students to become responsible citizens in the future.
Project Description: Our project is about stray animals and the issues they face in our community. Every day and night, countless strays suffer from unstable food sources, lack of medical care, and an unsafe living environment. We wanted to learn not just their life condition,but also the challenges they’re going through, including the reasons, and how people can help improve their lives. To learn more, we go from shelter to shelter for more and more information, talking to staff, listening to their experiences, observing the animals, and learning about the different challenges every place or shelter faces, such as lack of resources, not enough funds, shortage of volunteers or overcrowding. The more visits, the clearer we know what’s truly needed and how the community can help improve their condition. During our visits, we realized how emotional and heartbroken it can be seeing those strays crowded in cages, starving, hurting, and waiting for someone to give them a home, we all saw the look in their eyes, filled with sadness, loneliness, and quiet fear, we can’t help but feel empathy for them, the more we see the more helpless we feel, but as we look around the shelter we also notice the look in the staff members’ and the volunteers’ eyes. There was determination, gentle hope and warm love in them, they are just like heroes, they are the reason the strays can trust humans again, the reason they can finally understand what the meaning of the word “home” means, the word that used seems to be so far and untouchable for them, that was when we all agreed that we wanted to be one of the people who help. Through research, interviews and real-life observation, we hope to spread awareness about the strays. This is why we created and displayed our poster in the school hallway, to inform and remind others that while we are here living our comfortable life, there are still stray animals outside this world struggling to survive, some may be freezing, starving, injured or even mistreated. Our goal is to encourage more people to care for them, support them and protect them, creating a community where strays are treated with compassion, respect and showered with kindness. In the end, we want our project to inspire action, because even small changes can make a huge difference in the life of strays.
