It takes a village to raise a child.
- African proverb
Each orphaned child requires NT$50,000 per semester
to cover high school tuition fees, books and meals. With 19 children to support the need for funding is crucial.
每位孤兒孩童每學期高中所需50,000元的學費、書費及餐費。
以這些款項扶養這19名孩童是艱難的。
It takes a village to raise a child and so this event aims to bring the people of Taichung together
as a community to participate in a healthy and fun way to raise money for orphaned children. Supported by Mayor Hu and organized by us, the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), we are looking for upwards of 1,000 walkers to join us in a walk through Taichung’s popular Metropolitan Park on November 15th 2009.
主要帶領台中市民以健康又有趣的方式為孤兒募款。有台中市胡市長的支持及台中美國商會的策
劃，我們正在找1000名以上願意在2009/11/15加入我們一起在台中都會公園健行的人。
Each person who wishes to come and walk with us should try to raise as much money as they
canfrom their friends, families and coworkers in support of them taking part in this event. The
money raised will be used to fund the high school education of disadvantaged orphaned
children at the Hsiang Shang Children’s Foundation which is based in Taichung .
每位想加入健行的人須盡你所能試著向親朋好友及同事募款來支持你參加此活動。募款所得將
用於向上社會福利基金會的孩童們上高中的學費。
We share the belief that education is very important to the future of any child. It is important to
us to acknowledge that there are many children in our own community here in Taichung who
are are at a serious disadvantage once they reach high school age. Therefore, we at AmCham
aim to provide a brighter future for these and other children through our KIDZ Charity Program.
It is also important to note that the costs to run this event are minimal and therefore, more than
96% of the money raised at this event will go directly to helping the foundation.
相信我們都知道教育對每位孩童來說是很重要的。而對我們來說了解我們社區裡有許多已到高
中適讀年齡但卻無法上高中的孩童有很多是很重要。因此台中美國商會想要透過兒童慈善方案
替這些孩童募款帶來更好的未來。本次所募集之全額用來執行此活動的費用是很低的，超過百
分之96的款項將直接成為孩童的教育基金。
We hope you can come and be a part of this new and fresh idea to bring our community
together and raise the funding needed to support these disadvantaged children and give them
the future that they need and deserve.
我們希望您可以替我們社區帶來向心力並參加這一個嶄新的計劃，並替需要幫助的孩童帶來更
好及應得的未來。
