黃泰元/阿泰 Tiger Jango

吃素、常靜坐、不按牌理出牌。 育有一狗，名叫將狗。
喜歡即興的生活態度，無論是旅行還是街頭賣藝。
為了救援動物，勤練吹箭技術多年，意外結合了禪修的呼吸法，整理出自己的吹箭靜心練習。
喜歡在當下流動的即興音樂，常與夥伴們搭配演奏，把快樂與和平分享給朋友們。 有時會說起自己的故事：第一次街頭賣藝是在印度恆河邊拉琴，一個小孩跑來給我一盧比，從此開啟街頭表演的生活…

A vegetarian that often meditates, Tiger or “Ah-Tay” plays by his own rules and has a furry dog friend called “Chiang Dog.”
Likes a free-spirited lifestyle that is improvised, whether it is traveling or street performance. With the purpose of saving animals, Tiger began to hone his skills on the flute and also picked up mediation that brought a new dimension to his musical abilities.

Enjoys jamming with others and spreading the joy of music. There are times when he thinks back to the story of his first time performing the fiddle on the street of India when a child ran up and gave him a rupee – from then on Tiger has continued to perform.

2017冬日心願清單 Winter Wishlist



2017 世界音樂聖誕饗宴

佳欣（Jia-Xin）是一位被一對慈愛的加拿大夫婦領養的小朋友。這位小朋友溫暖、慷慨，啟發本協會每年到全國各地與台灣孩童和家庭分享聖誕樹裝置（Toys for Taiwan），將Jia-Xin的慷慨大方帶到各地。至今，活動已經邁入第六年了！

2017年台灣嚮光協會將與七位台灣頂尖的音樂家一起帶領孩子們結合音樂與藝術創作，親手做出自己的禮物。一如往常，孩子們將有機會感謝在過去這艱辛的一年中，一直陪伴在他們身邊的人，也一同饗用純素餐點、薑餅人、與熱可可。

為了實現這個計畫，本協會需要籌募善款約台幣＄300,000元（美金＄10,000元）。這筆經費將提供本協會於三個月中，到六個不同的地區舉辦活動，並提供清泉及台東的20戶家庭一些主要的食物與生活必需品—每位小朋友及婦女約需要台幣＄1,000元（美金＄30元），而每戶家庭則需約台幣＄6,000元（美金＄200元）。達到越高的募款里程碑，本協會也將能夠服務越多的社區，達成更多的目標。

您是否願意慷慨解囊，贊助本協會今年年底的多場活動呢？這次我們將到新竹、桃園、苗栗，台北、台東、台中舉辦活動！



誰是佳欣？

聖誕大使Jia-Xin 是一位慷慨熱心的臺灣小女孩，被領養後移居加拿大。2012年11月，在因緣際會之下，我收到一封來自Jia-Xin養父的電子郵件，希望可以實現他當時年僅六歲的小女兒一個願望。由於JiaXin在臺灣從未慶祝過聖誕節，她期盼能夠在這樣歡騰喜樂的節日，分送禮物給有需要的人，傳遞一點點溫暖。一轉眼，六年過去了，每一年的聖誕佳節，我們都會分送生活必需品（食物、毛毯、外套）及禮物給各地孩童，實現JiaXin的心願。除了要四處蒐集大家的愛心禮物，分送禮物的地點往往也相當遙遠，如清泉部落，往返當地需要五個小時的車程。因此，有相當程度的經費是運用在交通之上。 首先，需要兩到三輛車載滿米、麵條、毛毯，及其他的家庭所需物資送到當地。物資送達後，我們還會再回去為孩子們舉辦工作坊，讓他們了解這個節日的意義並不僅止於接受禮物，更重要的是，大家能夠花時間聚在一起。

聖誕大使Jia-Xin 的夢想是將她得到的溫暖獻給全台灣，為了不讓這段遙遠的路程阻撓我們實現她夢想的這份心意，希望您能夠在12月10日前慷慨助援! 

Who is Santa Jia-Xin?

SANTA JIAXIN is a generous warmhearted little girl who was adopted from Taiwan and is now living in Canada. By a “chance” email back in November 2012 JiaXin’s father contacted me and asked me to fulfill a wish for his then little 6 year old girl. Believing she never celebrated the holidays when she was in Taiwan, she wanted to be able to provide gifts to those who would benefit the most from a little warmth during the festive season. For the past four years we were able to fulfill her wish via delivery of needed items (food, blankets, jackets) and gifts to the children.

In addition to picking up gifts that people donate, locations such as ChingChuan (2.5 hours each way) are quite far so a sizeable chunk of our funds are directed towards transportation. We require at least 2-3 cars filled up with sacks of rice, noodles, blankets, and other necessities for the families. We then go back at a later date for another session for a workshop with kids so that they understand the holidays are about spending time together, not just receiving gifts.

Inspiration

Inspired by the warmth and genorosity of a small Taiwanese child adopted by loving parents in Canada, we are on our fifth year of spreading the generosity of Jia-Xin and Toys for Taiwan to children and families throughout our country.

For our 2017  journey Bright Side Projects will empower kids to create their own gifts through music and artistry. As per custom, they will also give thanks to those who have been their by their side this tumultuous year and look forward to sharing delicious plant-based meals paired with gingerbread people cookies and hot cocoa.

To make this a reality, by December 10th we will need approximately 300,000NT ($10,000 USD) for three months worth of events 6 areas and one major food and necessiities drive to 15 families in ChingChuan and 5 families in Taitung. That works out to a little over $1000NT/$30 USD per child or woman and 6000 NTD/ $200 USD per family. With each milestone we will be able to outreach to more communities and do more with Bright Side Projects.

Will you join us with a small donation for year end activities? This year we are heading to Hsinchu, Taoyuan, Taipei, Taitung, Taichung, and MiaoLi.

Delicious cultural vegan meals mirroring the respective will also be sampled!

2017年度活動計劃

一如既往，本協會將將舉辦一系列的木作活動，致力於引導孩童親手做自己的禮物，而非僅僅發送禮物至當地。活動中將使用回收資源，廢物利用。

活動目的:
1.陪伴學習：
除了基礎知識的傳授，陪伴學習也一直是本會堅持的中心思想，透過大朋友一對一到一對三的比例教學陪伴，強烈締結人與人之間的正向關係，也提升課程品質，我們把這樣的課程遍及台灣各地的部落與兒童青少年安置機構。
2.環保概念宣導：
科技進步環境變遷，我們在每次的工作坊中導入環保的概念及知識，課程中所使用的教材也盡量採用有機、環保以及可回收材質，雖然成本相對提高，但為了環保愛護地球這是絕對必要執行的事。
3.推廣健康的飲食：
推廣健康的飲食生活一直是我們致力的目標，期望所有的孩子在成長的過程中除了陪伴還要有健康均衡的飲食，教導小朋友正確的飲食觀念及食物的來源，讓他們學習製作並珍惜每一份食物，並藉由活動帶給孩子平時缺乏的健康食材資源。

*募得的款項將用於支付工作坊材料、純素餐點食材、交通費、教學師資及攝影紀錄等費用。其中並有一大部份的款項將用來採買生活必需品給需要的家庭。活動後剩餘款項則將留作嚮光協會未來長期為這些社群舉辦活動之用。

六年來

本協會堅信聖誕節不僅只是物質上的滿足，更是與摯愛的親友共度的美好時光，因此投注了絕大部分的經費在課程之上（不含交通費），希望能多花一點時間陪伴孩子們。2012年，與孩子們一起做純素杯子蛋糕；2013年，一起點綴了薑餅人、製作了聖誕飾品；2014年，一起享用了白巧克力焦糖蘋果棒棒糖，還嚐試了以紮染為寒冬增添一抹繽紛；懷著感恩的心，孩子們也以生活環境中的自然素材和黏土完成一棵棵小小的感恩聖誕樹。而2015年，甚至以回收寶特瓶一同創作出一層樓高的聖誕樹，也利用舊衣製出無縫娃娃。2016年我們遠赴蘭嶼，帶領蘭嶼的婦女與孩子一起製作木工，也和台東的孩子一起製作咬咬狗玩具幫助瑪莉愛狗協會，讓孩子在這溫暖的年末季節把愛傳出去！

這是歲末年終的主要慶典，我們每一年都引頸期待。這些小朋友對我們來說，不只是有著一面之緣，也絕非泛泛之交，我們是真誠地想要陪伴他們一起長大！

邁入第六年，感謝各地社區同仁們友善的支持，尤其是在清泉部落的社區幹事喇藺猶命、桃山國小的前陳聖源校長與蘇美娟校長，清泉天主堂的丁松青神父與哈那、以及台東新馬蘭部落的郭幼慈小姐，更不用說那些不畏艱辛、無償無求、一路陪伴著我們完成一趟又一趟意義深遠的旅程的大朋友們。請記得點閱我們完整的感謝名單，感謝曾經投入心力、幫助實現小女孩（還有我們）夢想的每一個人！

本協會的工作坊是對大眾開放的，也從大眾手中募集禮物，因此每年有數以百計的朋友參加這個活動。也許這並非最有效率的方式，但是我們相信社群的力量。今年，本協會將持續於東岸與全台各地舉辦活動，請您不吝慷慨解囊，幫助我們實現這個計劃。

Six years of Love

We’ve always had excellent support from the community. We firmly believe that holidays is not about material items but also about spending time together. Thus a hefty portion of our budget are funneled to workshops (plus transportation).

In 2012 we created vegan cupcake workshop to spend time with the kids. In 2013 we decorated vegan gingerbread cookies and made ornaments. Most recently in 2014 we had chocolate and caramel apple lollipops in addition to adding tie-dye workshops to add an extra splash of color during these chilly winter months. A ‘forest’ of thank you trees were forged from nature and clay. In 2015 a one-story Christmas tree was forged from plastic bottles and sewless dolls created from upcycled clothing. 2016 we brought woodcraft to the villages and orphanges.

With strategic planning and community outpouring of generosity, in our second and third year we have also included bringing the holiday cheer to Harmony Home and MuHsiang Children’s Home. Since we return to the community, has been so amazing each year to watch the children grow.

This is our year end staple celebration and we look forward to it each time! For four years, we’ve had such wonderful support from the local communities, especially in ChingChuan. LaLing Yumin, a local community organizer, Principal Chen (陳聖源) and Principal Su (蘇美娟) from the TaoShan Elementary School, and Father Barry plus Hanna from the Catholic Church. Now we also excitingly include 台東新馬蘭Fukid部落’s 郭幼慈 as a supporting member in our Neighborhood. We can always count on our wonderful gaggle of Big Friends to make the meaningful trip to the beautiful mountains. Because we open up the workshops to the public and also take gift items from individuals, hundreds of people get involved each year. This might not be the most efficient way but we believe in community. For that to happen again this year, we need your help yet again.

Music & Gift Creation Workshop 嚮光x佳欣工作坊 -／5 個地點／6 場活動 ／100位小朋友

除了運送家庭和孩童所需物資外，本協會希望藉由這趟旅程，小朋友除了得到禮物，更可以感受到這個節日的精神－花時間齊聚一堂，喝杯熱可可，彼此陪伴。

This is in addition to the Gift & Necessities Drive for families and children as we hope those who participate as recipients in the drive can also feel that the holidays are about spending time together over a cup of hot cocoa and not simply about receiving gifts. Check out more information above our our Music Jam!

 

Vegan Meals 為台灣而吃－純素食物 ／ 6 場工作坊／100位小朋友

基本上工作坊是整天的, 因此我們一定要提供營養可口的餐點給小朋友們,我們也很樂意這麼做。 我們會提供以蔬果為主的食物以及一些低卡的點心和一杯熱可可。小型的工作坊(關愛之家) 會示範或是教他們現場製做以節慶為主題的點心。譬如薑餅人或是焦糖蘋果片。本些會希望每一次的工作坊中，我們都能夠提供高品質的食材。

Workshops are generally a full day so we must provide hot nutritious food for children, which we are more than happy to do. Plant-based creations are made along with light snacks and a cup of hot cocoa. Kids will also have a hand in making their own vegan sweets such as decorating gingerbread people, oatmeal raisin cookies, or caramel apple slices. With each workshop and each year we are aiming to provide even high quality ingredients for meals.

Household Necessities for 20 Families 台灣家庭所需之生活必需品及禮物 (20戶家庭）

本協會將為每個家庭提供有機當地蔬果食材、毛毯、冬衣、鞋子及給孩子的小禮物，每戶的平均預算估計約為5000 元台幣。

*我們將請桃山國小及當地教會協助提供需要協助的家庭名單，並將禮物親自配送至每個家庭。
*大約60％～70％的預算會用在採買蔬菜罐頭與乾糧上。
*去年我們與「直接跟農夫買」合作，向更多當地小農購買新鮮食材。
*有機稻米則將與花蓮的「友善態度自然農園」中的小農們訂購。其他新鮮蔬果與罐頭則於當地純素商店採買。
*因桂格燕麥片近日出現問題，本協會將改用RUNIVORE無農藥麥片。該公司一直以來也都是嚮光協會的強力支持者

Families and children that are part of the yearly gift & necessities drive will obtain much needed items for their household in addition to the creation workshop session in January. For each family we estimate a cost of approximately $200 USD (5,000-6,000NTD), this has included items such as organic local foods, fresh fruits, blankets, warm clothes, shoes, and a small gift for children.

• Delivery is to individual families as we work with TaoShan Elementary School and the local church for the recipient list.
• Approximately 60-70% of the budget will be purchasing non-perishable plant-based foods
• Last year we worked with Buy Directly From Farmers直接跟農夫買社 and this year will outreach to more local farmers and vegan businesses.
• This year we are sourcing local organic rice from Hualien farmers from HuaLian Friendly Farm  and fresh made and jarred items from local vegan stores
• We have sourced pesticide free oats from RUNIVORE who has been a solid partner and supporter of Bright Side Projects endeavors.

Transportation 聖誕大使佳欣的麋鹿專送 ／ 台東、蘭嶼、台北、桃園，新竹， 台中）

大家喜歡都便捷—但要把物資送到需要的人手中，這往往是件難事。協會與志工主要都在台北，雖在各地點都有認識的當地人，但因為大多數的人力與資源都集中於台北本部，我們需要將這些資源分類，才能送達各地。

從台北到－

桃園: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約2小時。開車單程45分鐘。
苗栗：搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約2.5小時，開車單程1.5小時
清泉: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約4小時，開車單程2.5小時
台中:  搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約2.5小時，開車單程2小時
台東: 搭乘大眾運輸系統單程約4.5小時，開車單程7小時

光是蘭嶼的交通費，船票要美金＄72元 , 機票美金＄90元。若6位志工前往便需美金＄500元。本協會將替核心幹部支出此費用，但有些團隊成員則需自己負擔此費用。許多大朋友為了參加本活動，除了須請假外，更是無償志工。若是再加上開車至桃園以及兩次到清泉 (一次都出2—3台車)，每次的油資及過路費用，所有為了收集物資過程中的產生運費，$1,200元是很保守的估算，雖然可能無法全額支付所需費用，但我們仍舊非常感謝您的支持。

People like the idea of convenience – but getting items to where those who may benefit from the resources is not always about that. Our core group is based in Taipei and we have on-site locals in each of the locations. But with many of our talents and resources prepped at our base, we need to sort and get them out.

From Taipei to–>

Taoyuan: by public transport 2 hours each way / by personal vehicle 45 minutes each way
ChingChuan: by public transport 4 hours each way / by personal vehicle 2.5 hours each way
Taitung: by public transport 4.5 hours each way / by personal vehicle 7 hours each way
Orchid Island: by public transport 9 hours each way / by personal transport 12 hours each way (ferry is 3.5 hours, flight is 20 minutes)

Just for Orchid Island the cost for the ferry is approximately $72 USD, airfare $90 USD. For team of six costs approximately $500. Driving down will be about $155 per vehicle with gasoline and tolls – but split into two cars as we also pack equipment and different time schedules.  In addition there are 1-2 people who will take the train down.  They are taking 8 days off work and will be receiving no pay for their participation in this event.

If we add in the drives out to Taoyuan and twice to ChingChuan with 2-3 cars each time gasoline and toll fees, logistics of purchasing and gathering items before the event, $1,200 is a very conservative budget that might not cover what we need to the full extent but we would really appreciate your support on this.

Reindeer Delivery 聖誕Jia-Xin 的小精靈

和我們一同前往各地的核心成員包括 Daisy Lin, Rhea Chou,  Starry 又又， JiaChi 嘉琪, Ken Wang, Noah Chen , XiaYi Su。每個地點我們都希望能為當地的社群開設工作坊，並且在課前會針對志工們及參與老師提供嚮光協會的訓練課程。所有地點的課程都開放給大眾參加—現在就加入我們，將可持續收到最新消息!

Our core group that will be heading to the locations include Daisy Lin, Rhea Chou,  Starry 又又， JiaChi 嘉琪, Ken Wang, Noah Chen, and XiaYi Su!  In each location we hope to open up workshops to local community and will conduct a BSP Training session beforehand. Public registration to the events will be available for all locations – keep posted and join us now!

苗栗的課程總是很缺陪伴孩子的大朋友，為了能多花時間在孩子身邊，所以我們總是在前一天晚上熬夜先將大部分的食材準備完成！Our time with the kids at MiaoLi’s YuAn Children’s Home is limited and precious, we loved being here to make plant-based sushi and introduce the Japanese summer game of flowing noodles to them! English below.

這一次帶領孩子一起做自己的純素手做壽司，從調製醋飯開始，大小朋友一起一步一步循序漸進，把飯鋪平在竹捲上，加上自己愛吃的食材，這次我們準備了酪梨、紅蘿蔔、黃瓜、素鬆還有泡菜！捲起來酸酸甜甜的滋味，孩子們都好喜歡呢！ 我們也藉著機會跟孩子介紹日本壽司文化，孩子們聽得好認真，也很熱烈的跟我們分享他們愛吃的壽司！搭配壽司當然不能少了味增湯！用蔬菜與蘿蔔熬了一晚的湯底，加入營養豐富的菇類與有機純素味增，好喝到孩子一下就通通喝光啦！

午餐過後我們也拿出特別到桃園找的大孟宗竹，跟孩子一起玩日本夏日最常玩的流水麵活動，一坨一坨的麵條跟著流水快速滑下，孩子們七手八腳地伸出筷子夾取，超級刺激的！迅速把麵頰進碗中再加上甜甜的日式醬油，孩子都吃得好開心，平淡的麵條因為遊戲也變得有趣又美味了！

這次參加的孩子多了很多不認識的新臉孔，讓原本就缺乏大朋友的我們感到有些吃力，幸好參加的各位都在嚮光長期參與，已經非常有經驗，才能保持課程的好品質，未來還是非常希望能有更多的人一起投入我們的行列，一起陪伴孩子，一起讓愛改變世界！

We know that the youth and adults are so attentive here and have plenty of experience in the kitchen but are always passionate to learn more. Our numerous delicious plant-based options for sushi included kimchi, vegetarian floss, cucumbers, carrots, and sweet potatoes. For lunch we combined this with radish miso soup and our famous fresh fruit salad.

After the delicious lunch that kids with the main course of sushi made for themselves, we gathered outside in the sun for flowing noodle game. Some were faster to adept to the quick flow of the water with their chopsticks but everyone helped everyone else out to grab a bite.

We are always looking for more Big Friends to join us here, engaging with the disabled youth and adults at Yu-An. Please join us next time as we always have great events lined up – come brighten their day and let love change the world!

我們2017年尾的第一場聖誕佳欣「世界音樂饗宴」在桃園睦祥育幼院，開始音樂巡迴之旅，一共有四位音樂家來擔任我們的老師，讓我們的音樂不只傳到孩子耳中，還藉由老師們的創造力，深深打入心裡了！特別感謝澳洲迪管的慶洲、手碟的安格、街頭打擊樂的保羅，還有即興小提琴的阿泰老師們～

Our second session for the Santa Jia-Xin Music Jam took place at our familiar haunt in Taoyuan with the kids at MuHsiang! I was absolutely blown away by the four musicians in our lineup – from Brian Lin with the didgeridoo, Angus and the handpan, Papi Bucket with his slew of percussions, and street fiddle performer Ah-Tay (Tiger). ENGLISH BELOW

一直都聽過：「學音樂的孩子不會變壞」這句長輩們口中的至理名言，但當「音樂」、「孩子」、「自由即興」這幾項要素，一起在同一時間、同一空間出現的時候，你還真不得會心感受，創造力無論在小朋友、大朋友身上現身時，周遭所有人都被暖暖地圈著走～

這一天的活動，我們由拉著布簾，讓孩子先聽聲音猜樂器開始。「小提琴」、「手碟」、「迪吉里杜」、「塑膠桶」，變成了「二胡」、「炒菜鍋」、「水管」還有「垃圾桶」，well…某個層面也都是猜對了啦，哈哈！之後我們透過音樂，告訴孩子們這些樂器的來歷，緊接著就開始了我們的敲敲打打創造力實驗課堂。

四位老師各自帶著孩子們，在園區裡探索能夠發出有趣聲響的樂器，畚斗＋石頭，請勿停車的鐵板、鍋碗瓢盆全部都出來了，每個老師都教了小朋友獨特的節奏方式，不一會功夫，變成了嚮光的布萊梅樂隊就現身咧！大小朋友們配著節奏，又敲又打又跳，實在是很快樂的時刻。

課程快要結束的時後，四位音樂家老師們一起即興演奏給大家聽，多希望再次把那個片刻讓大家都能看到啊～孩子們各各等大了眼，有幾個嘴巴還是開的，哈，都在感受音樂的驚奇與美妙，也許就在這個片刻，音樂真正的效果已經默默栽入孩子們的心田了吧！

配合著當天的音樂課，有來自澳洲的迪吉里杜管，那午餐我們就搭配了Damper澳洲原住民麵包，有在歐洲發揚光大的小提琴，咱們就夾搭法國燉菜和馬鈴薯濃湯，滿滿一桌純素的異國餐點，與音樂一起，讓孩子的五臟六腑，也一塊世界巡迴去囉，耶！

這些用心活動的背後，是來自出生在台灣，後來去了加拿大的佳欣小朋友，因為她的關懷，台灣的小朋友也一起在這歲末年終之時，感受到聖誕的陪伴與愛！

I was absolutely blown away by the four musicians in our lineup – from Brian Lin with the didgeridoo, Angus and the handpan, Papi Bucket with his slew of percussions, and street fiddle performer Ah-Tay (Tiger).

Using the five senses, we first had kids guess the music instrument that musicians had lined up – trying to determine the material, the size, and if they had ever seen it before. The individuals were unveiled, introducing the background and culture of their peculiar items.

Kids were enthusiastic, asking questions and wanting to give a go at tackling some of the instruments they had never seen before! We had a bigger purpose for the kids and session today – everyone would form a band and perform a jam from everyday objects. Musicians each headed a group of kids paired with Big Friends, walking around MuHsiang Children’s Home, picking up and selecting knick knacks, pans, brooms, desks, and everything imaginable!

There was more after the first performance – they were to prep to get dance moves ready with the second music and dance session. However, we first moved onto another important part of the day with our plant-based lunch. Tying music and culture together, we also wanted to give the kids (and ourselves) a chance to eat some of the cuisine where the instruments originated. One of our volunteers spent the entire night before making damper bread, a traditional Australian soda bread, historically prepared by swagmen, drovers, stockmen and other travellers.

After lunch we went back to the music and the dancing – absolute joy! We even had the groups shoot potential “cover albums” with their band members. After the jam and even break dancing, the four musicians began their jam and silenced the entire children’s home with the amazing melodies. Kids were in rapture and disbelief that their teachers for the day were so amazing but we were also in awe of the them!

Kids creating music and seeing their joy was the biggest gift to us this holiday season. We are so excited for you to hear the impromptu jam of kids, big friends, and our musician teachers. Look back to our space for the video we are editing and please support us and the children for more amazing days like this day!

台中的慈馨兒少之家是我們今年新增的服務據點，每次回到慈馨，這裏的大小朋友們都讓我們有回到家的感覺!
It has been destiny to begin our new friendship with Taichung’s TzeKuang Halfway House. Although it’s just the beginning of a lifelong journey, it feels like each time we step foot here, we’ve simply arrived home. (English below)

這次很榮幸邀請到台南致力於推廣世界樂器『西非迦納旋轉打擊沙鈴ASALATO』的Fuso Chen與他的夥伴ASALATO TAIWAN的成員們，還有台北蒐Souldays品牌主理人，同時也是瑞士神秘樂器手牒的大師Angus，一起跟孩子介紹來自世界各地不同的樂器與文化，另外Fuso老師也教大家怎麼把廢棄的扭蛋殼化腐朽為神奇，讓孩子自己動手打洞、黏貼、穿繩、打結再加入各種植物的種子，好玩又環保的自製ASALATO就完成拉！

午餐特別準備了Ooh Cha Cha每年冬天都會推出的特製純植咖哩搭配營養健康的黎麥飯、澳洲Damper麵包還有應景的花椰菜榭寄生、BBQ蘑菇、香煎薯塊、水果沙拉！豐盛的聖誕大餐讓大小朋友都吃得很滿足，心也暖了起來！

下午開始一系列的樂器教學，教孩子從幾個動作學習ASALATO的基礎演奏方式，Fuso老師也說無論孩子演奏得如何，給予他們支持與認同才是活動中最重要的，也傳達了我們在冬季佳欣系列活動中非常重要的理念，陪伴與愛。

孩子們學會了怎麼玩音樂玩ASALATO後，ASALATO TAIWAN的成員們也小露身手與Angus的手碟、鋼琴搭配，給了全場的大小朋友們帥氣又震撼的一系列演出，真的太棒太厲害了！表演完孩子們也技癢的以唱歌跳舞回敬，霎時間兒少之家的聖誕歡樂氣氛感染了現場的每一個人，我想這就是音樂的力量吧！

演奏結束後大朋友們也陪著孩子一起製作彩繪薑餅人，用健康有機的天然糖漿發揮創意自己裝飾自己的薑餅人，為今天劃下了完美的句點！

Continuing with our series of World Music Jam thanks to Santa Jia-Xin, this session creating asalatos was led by Fuso Chen and his merry gang. We we also so ecstatic that Souldays founder, Asia’s most premier handpan musician Angus Lee came back for a second session with us and a whole new group of kids and Big Friends.

Using upcycled toy capsules Fuso took everyone through the process of creating their own musical instruments. Red beans and other staple foods served as the materials inside the capsules for the signature “clack” effect. Kids were able to start from an object that was destined for the trash can and create not just their own instruments but then be able to jam alongside the teacher with it. We hope with this lesson, kids can be able to become inspired that with a little creativity and a bit of time, amazing things can happen!

Lunch was served, featuring our homemade fruit salad, damper bread in various flavors, intricately diced reindeer on an amazing vegetable platter, and Ooh Cha Cha’s seasonal Roasted Veggie Curry.

蔣穎萱 Mimi Chiang

我喜歡與人相處，也喜歡聽聽每個獨一無二的生命故事，所以我選讀社工系，並曾在社會福利機構服務兒童、身心障礙者和經濟弱勢家庭。在喜憨兒基金會與憨兒共事的三年，一起共享喜怒哀樂，是師生也是朋友，太多太多的故事，是我珍惜至今的回憶。

在擔任社工的五年中我了解到，站在同一條平行線上，沒有階級與分類的平等互動、不帶評價的真心同理與陪伴，對他人的生命經驗是多麼重要，自己能做得或許不多，但卻可能成為某些人生命中重要的小事，而這些經歷和體會最受用的是自己，讓我透過這些生命中的過客看見與了解更多的自己。

我喜歡與人相處也喜歡分享，愛上烹飪與烘焙是讓我能夠開心分享心意的另一件美好的事，因此我轉換工作領域但也持續接觸社福工作，不同的工作類型，相同的服務理念與熱誠，是我喜歡也會持續不懈的事。

I like interacting with people, and I also like to hear everyone’s unique life story so I was in the department of social work during college.  My previous occupation was at a foundation providing assistance to the disabled, as well as vulnerable groups. Working for three years with kids with disabilities I was not only a teacher, a student, but also a friend. There are many stories and cherished memories from my time there!

In the five years that I have been a social worker, I stood from the perspective of those I was working alongside with. There was no division or inequality in our interaction; there wasn’t much I did but despite this one can also become an integral part of someone’s life, someone’s story. Through this view I also came to understand myself.

I also enjoy sharing things with people and after falling in love with cooking, I interact and express love through this. Although I have changed my career path I still take the same concept and passion of aiding and caring for others.

李瓊蝶Milla

Milla老師擅長從身體經驗、肢體舞動與感受式的即興創作中引導每個人覺察並認識自己各種的面向與自己內在的美好相遇。

Milla相信~
每個人與生俱來的純淨的力量看似脆弱卻其實擁有很強大的力量，只是在成長的過程中並沒有人告訴我們它能給予我們什麼，所以我們漸漸遺忘了它!
這股純淨的力量像孩子一般喜歡冒險、探索、遊戲、創造~並能在每一個當下陪伴與支持自己，而保有這股愛的力量除了讓我們對自己有處理事情有不同角度跟創造的能力，對自己慈悲的能力，不然往往我們的教育系統常常有許多的競爭與比較，往往即使別人不批判我們，我們也會第一個先批判自己，有著這樣愛自己的能力就能同理並善待每一個身邊的朋友、家人、環境甚至整個地球、宇宙!因為當我們看見自己內在的美好時，就會看見原來周圍的人也是的!而我深信每一個人都是獨特且為這個世界增添許多不同色彩的浩瀚星光~

Teacher Milla guides each person to realize their full potential through various series of self introspection in art and dance. She believes that we all have a powerful force within us but has become dulled as we grow up; hopes that in getting to know ourselves and through expressions of compassion, our inner beauty can shine through!

一連幾場的Santa Jia-Xin聖誕音樂饗宴活動，這是我們唯一碰到下雨的一天，尤其是來到新竹清泉的山裡，陰雨碰上霧氣冷天，本來正要蔓延開來的morning blue，卻在看到孩子們的那瞬間被吹散了～

其實也不是要走那麼文青的路線啦，但在距離這場音樂饗宴的二週前，我們才剛來過清泉部落，一戶戶地給孩子們送上聖誕禮物和物資，所以那顆栽培在心裡的種子，真的會再看到孩子的瞬間發芽茂密，回憶湧現內！

清泉孩子們的活潑可愛，一直都是讓我們印象深刻的，所以這次我們特別邀請到了出場如同偶像般的 Mr.One Cajon 小萬神老師，來帶孩子們打木箱鼓，再配上神秘嗓音的澳洲迪管 Didgeridoo Brian Lin 慶洲老師，一起引領孩子們體驗異國音樂結合的新文化。

小萬老師帶來了好多紙箱，讓孩子們在上面創作「快樂人生」，大朋友們一時之間還覺得這標題也太大了吧？結果孩子不假思索，紛紛畫下各自的快樂，有大大的太陽、鯨魚、雪人、家人…說的也是，快樂其實一直都是不需要多想的一種感受，總是能夠透過孩子，回到初心！

不知道是不是因為參加了好多場音樂饗宴的關係，慶州老師在清泉散發著慈祥的氛圍，好多孩子們總是掛在他的身上不放，玩了好多各式各樣的身體游戲，默默地再次感受到，孩子真正最需要的是「陪伴」，好像磁鐵一樣，當大朋友們心敞開來分享這種品質的陪伴時，小朋友雷達就會響起，三秒膠黏上你！

最後要特別介紹，這次敬時里里的私房廚師，Olivia Tu 敬萱也加入了我們，讓音樂饗宴之外，還有「美食饗宴」～！！！食物一端上來，孩子們馬上衝過來排隊，純素食的牧羊人派、蔬食沙拉裡面加了新鮮的無花果、核桃…還有蔬菜燉飯，每一樣都讓大小朋友讚不絕口，再次驗證食物的魔力，所有人的腸胃也都需要美食相伴滴！

We had just delivered necessities and gifts to households in ChingChuan just two weeks prior, so being able to spend time with some of the children really meant a lot to us. It was also heartwarming to see their eyes light up as they recognized some of the Big Friends return.

With our fourth session of the World Music Jam with the invitation extended from Brian Lin (Didgeridoo), we were able to invite Mr. One. This was the first class to experience the cheerful beats of the cajon instrument and which kids also created their own from Cajon’s cardboard boxes. In theme with a “happy life” images of a sun, whale, snowman, family and other scenes the children decided were drawn and painted.

We topped off the day with an amazing lunch by private chef Olivia Tu and Mandy Fang; highlighting vegan shepherd’s pie (harkening to Australia), scrumptious fresh salad with figs and grapefruit, fancy savory potato tarts, and a delightful risotto.

The day concluded with a music jam with their new instruments and winded down with a body movement class led by XiaYi that furthered our interaction and fun. A little holiday greetings came in the form of kids creating their own raw snowpeople desserts from coconut flakes, cashew nuts, and dates! Please continue to support Bright Side Projects and the children!

10月底總是充滿著萬聖節的氣息，但嚮光協會為了提供孩子們更不一樣的文化課程，我們選擇了在台灣比較少人知道的『墨西哥亡靈節』介紹給孩子，希望透過這樣的節慶跟孩子們一起探討生與死甚至是鬼魂與亡靈。
This is one of my favorite time of the year for workshops when I become especially inspired by the different ways the dead are honored. Day of the Dead is an oft misunderstood celebration and it’s always interesting to bring up the issues of cultural appropriation, stereotypes, and identity at this time in a creative workshop.

這次我們準備了可以重複使用的梅森玻璃杯，跟孩子一起創作彩繪，從介紹墨西哥亡靈節的文化歷史開始，讓孩子發想創意，在一邊創作的過程中一邊陪伴孩子，跟他們聊天，介紹文化挪用、自我認同、刻板印象等的社會意識觀念。

老師Grace從創作草稿開始帶著孩子發想，利用玻璃專用的3D立體彩繪筆與螢光顏料，讓孩子畫出屬於自己的亡靈節玻璃燈！大朋友們協助孩子把亡靈節不可或缺的蠟燭放入杯中，美麗的作品就完成了！孩子們都非常滿意自己的作品，驚豔得不得了呢！

透過這樣一對一親密的互動課程，我們也跟泰雅族的孩子們聊到了很多不一樣的原民文化，也讓我們對孩子有了更多的認識。

午餐我們準備了墨西哥豆泥捲，介紹平常孩子不會吃到的特殊食材，透過飲食介紹不同國家的文化，餐後孩子也帶著大朋友們參觀他們的學校桃山國小，細說校園中壁畫的泰雅傳說，一起打籃球嬉戲，一起在草地上奔跑。

這一次課程參與的大朋友與小朋友人數較少，卻意外地完成了我們因為缺乏人力而很難達成的一對一教學（平時大都一對二到一對三），讓大朋友跟孩子有了更多的互動與談天、嬉戲的時光，讓最重要的『陪伴』更上一層樓！期待未來的日子裡有更多的大朋友加入我們的行列，一起陪伴孩子，與孩子互相學習豐富彼此的人生!

This is one of my favorite time of the year for workshops when I become especially inspired by the different ways the dead are honored. Day of the Dead is an oft misunderstood celebration and it’s always interesting to bring up the issues of cultural appropriation, stereotypes, and identity at this time in a creative workshop.

We were able to get ahold of some glass jars and donated “glass” appropriate paints. With veteran Teacher Grace going through the background of Day of the Dead and viewing some of the indigenous art and reasons behind the symbols, kids sketched and translated the imagery onto the jars. Today was a small class – meaning silence – so the kids were able to focus on the project. When they finished, vivid colors streaked across the jars and the paper they had a look of satisfaction their faces.

We didn’t have many kids attend today as there was a separate event that was taking place, but our diehard Bright Side fans that were able to make it told us they were happy that for once the class size was so much smaller and they could have chance to really chat with us! Regardless if the class size was 100, 50, 15, 10, or even just 1, we will spend the same amount of energy and effort in the creation of the educational course and the plant-based meals we share with the children.

For lunch we prepped the Southern California interpretation of Mexican food, with plenty of guacamole before heading out on a walk to Taoshan Elementary School with them. We were happy to share the moments and chat with them as they introduced some aspects of their indigenous Atayal culture that was evident throughout the mountaintop school. We are grateful for this opportunity and day with our friends! It’s amazing that we’ve known them for over five years from when they almost first entered the school! Thank you for your support so we can continue our lifelong journey.

自從上了台灣最棒的JLIN教練的第一堂課，我就一直深信，集熱情與專業於一身的他，再加上他超讚的音樂清單，肯定是為桃園的孩子們上課的最佳人選。經過了數個月的信件往來，溝通協調，終於喬出了大家都能配合的時間，我們很榮幸的請到JLIN教練來帶我們一起跳尊巴(Zumba)。
Ever since I took a class with one of Taiwan’s best instructors Jlin, I know he would be a perfect fit for the kids at Taoyuan. (English below)

我們才剛抵達沒多久，JLIN已經讓所有的孩子以及大朋友們隨著動感十足的音樂，踏著活力四射的舞步，動了起來。我們ㄧ邊跳舞一邊大笑，完全停不下來。熱力的舞步加上激烈的動作，根本就是一場超有趣的健身運動！最棒的是，小朋友們還表演給我們看！小朋友們的舞步和著音樂的節拍，厲害到我們看了嘴巴都張得闔不起來了。

午餐的時候，我們和孩子們一起做純素手捲壽司，裡面的配料有酪梨、地瓜、小黃瓜、紅蘿蔔、素鬆和泡菜可以選。我們做出來的第一個手捲壽司當然是給我們最辛苦的老師！

在所有的尊巴活動結束後，我們將日本傳統的流水素麵稍作變化，讓大家站在由竹子做成的水道的兩側，用筷子夾取在水道中快速流過的素麵，以此當作下午茶點心，為此夏日畫上一個完美的句點。

JLIN的熱情尊巴課程為所有的孩子以及大朋友們帶來的笑聲沒有停歇過，我從來沒有看過他們笑得這麼開心。謝謝JLIN!

孩子還需要你的支持跟贊助！

Ever since I took a class with one of Taiwan’s best instructors Jlin, I know he would be a perfect fit for the kids at Taoyuan. The right combination made him the best; combining passion,  exuberance, professionalism, and a great playlist, were just a handful of qualities he possessed. Luckily we were able to find a time and date that worked for everyone after several months of communication and so glad we did!

Just minutes after our arrival Jlin got both the kids and our Big Friends going with some of the hottest tracks and greatest dance moves! We simply could not stop laughing and dancing! High energy moves, sultry motions, made for a crazy fun workout. One of the best times was also seeing the kids perform for us! It was a thrill to see how they choreographed and paired music for some awe-inspiring dance moves that made our jaws drop.

For lunch we had a quick sushi making session so kids made their own vegan rolls. Options included avocados, sweet potato, cucumbers, carrots, vegan floss, and kimchi. The first roll was made for our hardworking/hard-dancing teacher!

After all the ZUmba, an afternoon snack of “noodle flowing” Nagashi Somen capped off the perfect summer day. We alternated this Japanese tradition capturing noodles as they rapidly flowed past in bamboo shoots.

JLIN provided the kids and our Big Friends with non-stop laughter with the most exhilarating session of Zumba. I have never seen so much laughter and joy on their faces! Thank you JLin for such joy!

We need your support to continue to do what we do – sponsor us here!

AsalatoTaiwan 毛怪

在大學時期因為雜誌介紹及網路上的影片宣傳Asalato而開始感興趣，因緣際會下剛好台南有賣家在賣（那位賣家現在是AsalatoTaiwan的團長），就這樣不知不覺的玩了八年持續邁進中，人稱AsalatoTaiwan大師兄。

Began his infatuation with the Asalato began in college after seeing it in various print and online media. It just so happened that one of the only places to purchase this illusive instrument was by Fuso Chen who heads Asalato Taiwan. Continuing down this path and in a blink of an eye, Wayne has been playing for over eight years and has become one of the foremost in the field.
