  17. Volunteers’ Stories(1) • Deme (Foreign Volunteer) ‘My volunteer experience at Eden Social Welfare Foundation was great in many ways…In 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…

  18. Volunteers’ Stories(2) • Ya Ting(Service Learning Tour Volunteer) The poor children in Xi Da Tan didn’t 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.

  19. The Future Plans • Build up international volunteer organization partnership • Identify more service locations abroad • Invite foreigners to serve in Eden’s centers
