Tamkang students raise “Sending Shoes To Rural Areas Fundraising Plan” - Helping students at Sanguang Elementary School to quickly realize their dreams

With an aim of obtaining a new pair of sneakers for each student at Sanguang Elementary School, a group of students from Tamkang University have used an internet crowdfunding platform to launch “Sending Shoes To Rural Areas Fundraising Plan”. The majority of students at the elementary school are from the indigenous Tayal tribe, and the school is situated a long way from their village. To enable Sanguang Elementary School students to have a comfortable pair of sneakers to wear to and from school, “Hope Express (理想快遞)” – a group formed by Tamkang students – cooperated with the social enterprise BR Link, and started the shoe fundraising project on the crowdfunding platform “flyingV”.

Calling for everyone’s support, in just three weeks they got a broad response and succeeded in raising the required number of 61 pairs of new shoes for the children. The kids personally wrote cards using the sincerest of words to express their gratitude for the sneakers, which will hopefully carry them towards realizing their dreams in the future.
