Hold Children's Hand to Embark on the Project to Bring Disadvantaged Children Travel Around the Island to Fulfill Their Dreams with No Exit System

From 2006, LIN, CHUN-CHENG, the CEO of Can Culture Art and Nature, discovered a group of high-risk children with low academic achievements. Ever since, he began his companionship with no exit system. Through the accumulation of time, he accompanied the children's growth. Slowly, he buries seeds of hope in children's hearts, unlocks their dreams, provides assistance for their daily lives for them to continue developing and flourishing.

During summer in 2019, Grass Book House and Grass Function School organized the cycling around island project for the 4th year. Starting from Tamsui, team members would travel around the island along the west coast, which was a self-challenge with a total length of 1,012km and 2 weeks. At the departure ceremony, it also invited parents to write down words of wishes on special bands that are tied to the bicycles as wishes to children. Many team members felt touched and hugged each other to show encouragement. The island trip was kicked off with such warm scene.  | Taipei Cultural experience | CAN Culture, Art & Nature

To fulfill children's dream, "Loofah Team" was established in Youmu Elementary School, leading children to cultivate farm to grow loofah on the campus so as to learn to farm and making contributions. Through selling loofah, they may earn their tuition, lunch expenses, and dream fund, which is the starting point for the dream project. In light of the growth in the number of disadvantaged children and our intention to provide a better learning and growing environment, we officially prepared and built "Grass Book House" in 2015. After the half-year construction, it was completed and launched with the folk supports and enterprises' assistance. The after-school tutoring began, and projects of "Happy Catering" and "Invincible Knight Cycling Around Island" were completed in succession in 2016.

Dreams Require Plan; Learning is on the Way to Realizing Dreams Ever since, every summer became a critical time for children from Grass Book House and Grass Function School. They began to think about their plans in winter and prepare their dream plans in spring. They learn to plan the itinerary, negotiate for sponsorship, learn to fix bicycles, stand on the stage for presentations to enterprises. In summer, the cycling around island project "Keep Dreams Going without Stopping" was duly launched, which was also the dream project for children. They learned to grow their team spirits and learned to make efforts to take care of themselves.

Team members who participated before also joined this year as the leading riders; as seniors, they are required to be more responsible and set themselves as role models to guide younger children to set out on their trips. During the process, they learned from each other and grew. With the cumulative time, it also becomes an event of inheritance. From the sharing session in early-stage planning, the experienced seniors prepared gifts of blessing with different meanings for team members who are about to set out on the trip. The gifts were bananas, toothbrushes, and tire tubes, representing cleanliness, healthiness, and safety, respectively.

Companionship has never been easy. With no exit system, it requires even more perseverance and courage. What we can do is to share with children, share what we are capable of, and learn to be there for them, and become the listener for them on their path of growth. Furthermore, the dream project is our mutual goal! In the future, we will continue to develop bigger and better projects, so that we will be able to protect the dream and laughers of all the children, and weave the blueprint of their dreams together.
