Volunteers Stories(1)

• Deme (Foreign Volunteer)
• My volunteer experience at Eden Social
  Welfare Foundation was great in many waysIn the
  Office of International Affairs, I helped
  proof-read English translations of various
  written materials. I also researched English
  language websites for news and reports related to
  disability issues around the globe. At the Wan
  Fang Center for Disabled Youth, I got to see
  Eden's direct services in action. It was a joy
  participating in class with the disabled students

Volunteers Stories(2)

• Ya Ting(Service Learning Tour Volunteer)
• The poor children in Xi Da Tan didnt have
  much, however they shared everything with me.
  They showed their love and had a great impact on
  me. I feel what they gave me are much more than
  what I did for them. What I learned most is life
  can be simple, and people often desire much more
  than their truly need. Xi Da Tan is just like a
  paradise and another home for me forever.

  partnership
