鯨湯匙 Whale Dawn

台北人，不過常自稱花蓮人。工作室位於淡水靠近北海岸的小丘上，喜愛海、鯨豚、植物與創作。主要以餘舊木料與生漆為素材製作生活器物，結合木材溫和的質地、生漆的典雅、海和鯨豚的意象，期待能發揮這些餘舊料的生命，讓它們含著鯨湯匙重生。

Born in Taipei but refers to themselves as a Hualien resident.
Their studio is located in Tamshui, near the northern coast; loves the ocean, cetaceans, plants, and innovative creation. Materials for their masterpieces are mainly comprised of discarded textured wood and finished with the sheen of lacquer. Whale Dawn breathes life into the upcycled wood as they are rebirth in the image of cetaceans and the sea.

自從上次帶音樂家來陪伴孩子，看到孩子即興的跟著音樂起舞，我們就決心要再帶音樂家回來！
這一次我們帶著曾經跟著我們到清泉陪孩子做紙箱鼓的小萬老師，回來帶苗栗幼安教養院的喜憨兒們一起玩音樂，更找了肢體、藝術療癒專長的Milla老師，帶孩子一起透過音樂和舞蹈的刺激，認識自己，開展身體！

透過Milla老師一步一步的引導，大朋友和小朋友們有了更多的肢體互動，從認識自己到認識新朋友，慢慢的身體和心境都打開來，小萬老師則是帶著他們樂團的主唱林ㄩˋ，讓孩子學習手腦協調，利用教養院的樂器帶著孩子做節奏練習！

很高興這次來了很多新的大朋友，一起協助孩子，不論是在肢體的學習還是音樂的學習，大家都很有耐心的陪伴帶領著孩子們，真的好棒！

老師們帶著孩子、大朋友們練習一起打鼓一起跳舞，用不同的節奏與不同的舞步來表現、模仿不同的動物，大家都玩的好開心呀！看到孩子們時而像鳥兒一樣展翅飛翔，時而想像自己是草原上威武的老虎，時而像小蛇一樣在草地上滾成一團，時而又學著鱷魚張開大嘴要捕捉獵物，搭配著簡單的鼓聲，彷彿真的來到叢林！

最後加上主唱的歌聲，孩子們與老師們一起演奏、一起跳舞，劃下今天課程的完美句點！很高興認識幼安教養院的孩子們，讓嚮光協會今年的教育訓練有機會針對認識身心障礙者邀請講師與大家分享，也期待未來的日子有更多的朋友一起加入我們，一起回來陪伴、認識教養院可愛的憨兒朋友們！

After the rousing response in January when we brought musicians to MiaoLi YuAn Children’s Home, we couldn’t wait to bring Mr. Cajon and his unique percussion combined with the fantastic art teacher Milla and introduce them to the residents.

Milla is a master of interacting with children, from body and movement, expression through art, and art therapy. She led the children on movement by interpreting animals such as a crocodile, snakes, tigers, and more! Mr. Cajon brought on the basic beats of his instrument paired with the angelic voice of Olivia who joined us for the first time.

We were very happy that we had so many new friends join our journey to MiaoLi as we are always short of volunteers here. We hope that many more can join us and meet the residents, both young and senior, have no reservations about meeting folks with disabilities as we are all the same and just enjoy having a great time together!

我們很高興可以舉辦“為愛而創意”，台灣第一個以純素為中心的兒童培力創意課程，我們搜羅別人扔出來的物料，將這些廢棄的材料，用創意的方式升級再造，使用在全部的課程中。而你的孩子參加的每一次課程，其收益將全額捐出，用於慈善活動，為因此而獲益的孩子們舉辦更多場的課程。我們很高興在2018年的四月，這獨一無二的課程正式開始。

We are so pleased to be able to have hosted [Create for Love], Taiwan’s first vegan-centric upcycle creation classes empowering children that also gives back to charity! When your child joins in a workshop, 100% of the proceeds go to supporting workshops for kids who will benefit the most. We are happy to have officially started these unique courses in April 2018.

對於有些孩子來說，這是第一次參加我們舉辦的活動，而有些孩子則是在之前就已經認識我們了。今天我們介紹了五月五日節的由來，談到了這個節日如何被商品化，然後我們一起動手做皮納塔。有些家長很驚訝，他們的孩子們居然可以專心上完三個小時的課程，這是因為我們一直不斷地鼓勵孩子們一起來腦力激盪，參與從頭到尾的每一個步驟。

孩子們一整天的課程，在超好吃的純素玉米餅和超好玩的皮納塔遊戲中劃下美麗的句點。我們也很開心可以一起幫Adrianna慶祝她的生日。

這次的課程是雙語教學，老師Paula Perry搬來台灣之前，在英國的全素烘焙坊工作，現在她和她出色的全素孩子，在台灣開始了Brownies and Pinatas。

課程是開放給所有人，歡迎大家趕快來報名，所有的收益將全部用於慈善活動。如果你希望在未來能收到我們的訊息，讓你的孩子有機會可以支持其他的孩子，可以將聯絡方式私訊給我們，或者是寄信到love@brightside.tw

“為愛而創意”是一系列的純素藝術課程，源自於嚮光協會一直以來的使命：透過創意教育課程其中包含了將廢料升級再造以及純素餐食，培力於孩子們。

孩子們手牽手，是臺灣嚮光協會在二零一六年發起的愛心活動，讓孩子們藉由募款以及其他各種不同形式的支持，相互培力。如果你希望你的孩子也開始為了讓這個世界更美好而盡一分心力的話，歡迎你與我們聯繫！

When your child joins in a workshop, 100% of the proceeds go to supporting workshops for kids who will benefit the most. We are happy to have officially started these unique courses in April 2018.

For some of the kids it was their first time at our event – for others they had joined our journey previously. Today we introduced the origins of Cinco De Mayo, commodification of the holiday and made pinatas. Some of the parents were surprised that the children were able to focus for the three hour course. This is because we do encourage and empower kids to brainstorm and be a part of the process from beginning to end.

Delicious plant-based nachos and a fun pinata game topped off our day after the kids’ long session. We were also honored to be able to spend this day wishing a Happy Birthday to Adrianna!

This session was taught blinggual Taught by Paula Perry from Brownies and Pinatas who worked in a vegan bakery in the UK and has an amazing vegan child of her own.

Classes are open for public registration, proceeds all go to charity. To be placed on our mailing list so your kid can support other kids, you can message us or email love@brightside.tw

[Create for Love] is series of plant-based art themed workshops stemming from Bright Side Projects’ mission of empowering children with awareness of social issues through creative edu-courses, upcycled materials, and plant-based meals.

Kids for Kids is a Bright Side Projects initiative kickstarted in 2016 where in an act of love, kids empower other kids through fundraising and other forms of support. If you want your kids to start making the world a better place, contact us!

在我們為前來參加我們課程的孩子們與志工大朋友們忙得焦頭爛額的同時，我們並沒有忘記要與大家分享我們最近做了什麼事，還有一些未來的計畫。在不久之前，我們為那些對嚮光協會還不是很熟悉的大朋友們舉辦了春季的教育訓練，向他們介紹一些我們在課程中有用到的一些方法，例如如何增進互動以及在每個人的日常生活中就能做到的培力，還有如何面對性騷擾以及身體自主權等。我們希望能藉由創意來打破我們現有僵化的思考與行為。

While we spend most of our time with kids and big friend volunteers who join our educational outreach, we know it’s also important to let people know what we are up to and doing.

We were happy to present our Spring training session to those unfamiliar with Bright Side Projects going over actionable steps that we take in our curriculum to enhance social interaction, provide points of empowerment that everyone can readily take in their own lives, and how to address sexual harassment and body rights face on. We want to promote creativity to break away from the way that we currently think and do things.

我們很幸運可以請到施逸翔 (台灣人權促進會 副秘書長 ）來為我們講解一些關於人權的基本知識，讓我們對聯合國兒童權利公約的內容有了大概的了解。我們常常忘記了，其實在決定事情的過程中，孩子們也應該有參與的權力，如此一來，我們和孩子們都可以藉著這個機會磨練自己分析決策的能力。

這次，嚮光協會也非常榮幸請到蔣穎萱，來與我們分享她與身心障礙者工作多年的專業經驗以及見解，希望大家都能了解，其實我們並沒有什麼不同。

了解，包容，接受，這些都是我們在社會上努力想達成的目標。嚮光協會相信每一個人都應該擁有基本人權，但沒有人應該過著被壓迫的生活，沒有人應該像商品一樣被另外一個人以金錢購買，自身的權利掌握在另一人的手中。我們也相信為了這個地球、這個環境，我們更應該清楚區別“想要”以及“需要”，以確保我們“人類”的權利不會跨過應有的界線或將地球的資源耗盡。

我們希望聽到不同的聲音討論什麼才是對孩子、對未來最好的處事方法。改變是必然的，而嚮光協會對於其結果是非常樂觀的。

We were fortunate to have Shih Yi Hsiang (Deputy Director for Taiwan Association for Human Rights) go over basics in human rights and allow us to have a grasp on the understanding on the Convention on the Rights of Children. People often forget that children should also have a say in the decision making process and each moment we are with them is an opportunity to hone their decision making process skills, as well as ours!

Mimi Chiang has several years of experience working with people with different disabilities. Bright Side was honored to have her share her experience and insight with us, hopefully having hit home the message that we are all human and are the same.

Understanding, tolerance, acceptance – this is something in common that we all strive to achieve in this society. Bright Side Projects believes that everyone should have basic human rights, but no one should be bought or oppressed for another to gain said rights. We believe in differentiating between wants and needs for the sake of this earth, the environment and so our “human” rights do not overstep boundaries or take away from survival in the long term.

We want to hear different voices on the best way to do things, for the children and for the future. Change is inevitable and Bright Side Projects is positive about the outcome.

過完農歷年的第一場活動！ASALATO TAIWAN的Fuso老師還有毛怪老師跟著我們一起回到新竹五峰鄉的清泉部落，陪伴我們泰雅族的孩子玩環保手做ASALATO 。一大早孩子就聚集在文化中心等我們了！以前帶的孩子長大了，驚喜現身主動說要當我們的志工大朋友，看著他們分組協助陪伴小一點的孩子，真是太感動了！

Our first workshop after the lunar new years was at ChingChuan! Asalato teacher Fuso Chen led this along with Wayne Zheng. It was a different workshop from before, with many kids that have grown up with us since 2012 joined not as “kids” but as Big Friends, assisting others! Time has gone by in a blink of an eye and it was touching to see the friendship and compassion that had blossomed. English below.

Fuso和毛怪教大家把回收來的扭蛋殼改造成自己的旋轉打擊沙鈴！鑽孔、黏貼、穿繩、挑選豆子到組裝，老師說希望孩子能從這個過程學到如何面對其他的事情，套用到人生上，一步一步解決問題達成目標！真是太棒了！

午餐我們準備了孩子沒吃過的牛肝菌燉飯還有其他的BBQ蔬菜跟營養的南瓜湯與水果沙拉，吃飽飯再跟孩子一起做好吃的藍莓派當飯後甜點，孩子們都熱情的搶著幫忙呢！最後的成果也非常成功，好好吃啊！

下午孩子們帶著大朋友們一起到桃山國小走走，大家在舒服的陽光中跟著老師一起玩著自己做的ASALATO，老師們也使出渾身解數，竭盡所能的把招式都秀出來！真的好厲害啊！

課程結束前我們特別準備了蠟燭和卡片，與孩子們一起唱生日快樂歌祝福我們認識已久的大孩子志隆17歲生日快樂！也希望在未來的路上嚮光協會還能持續不斷的陪伴孩子們一起走下去！新的一年還會有很多活動與挑戰，歡迎有更多的大朋友一起為了更好的世界一起努力！

From conception to creation of the asalatos, Fuso once again hosted a wonderful class that kept the kids engaged. We then headed out to TaoShan Elementary School to make music out of these upcycled instruments.

Lunch was a delicious vegan mushroom risotto with BBQ flavored sauteed vegetables and pumpkin soup but that’s not all we had – we also made blueberry cobbler together with children. It was our first attempt and we figured that even if we failed, we would fail and learn it together! It came out beautifully and also served as the birthday cake (with candle) for one of our best friends in ChingChuan, a youth we’ve known since 2012.

Happy Birthday and just a stunning day to all. We are so blessed for friendships and in awe of what children, what people can do, when we believe in them and give them the chance to create.

我們一直在做的，就是透過文化、藝術和純素餐食等方式，帶給孩子們一個新的體驗，而我們之所以可以一直做下去，正是因為有那些想要分享的人的支持。在一次偶然中，我們認識了Alex跟她的男朋友阿仁，在他們位於淡水的純素友善的家裡所舉辦的聚會，我們馬上就知道我們一定要帶著這個對於純素餐食充滿熱情的法國廚師到清泉跟孩子們見面！

我們想利用玩遊戲的方式，讓我們的課程添加更多趣味，同時孩子們也可以藉由這個機會認識在法國的孩子們都在玩什麼遊戲。而剛好那時候四月一號愚人節剛過，Alex就為我們介紹了“poisson d’avril”這個遊戲，有點出乎我們意料的，孩子們竟然會願意花這麼多時間製作大大小小的魚，然後在課程的一整天時間裡，趁人不注意，偷偷地貼在其他人的背後。

中餐的時候，孩子們可以做自己的法式鹹可麗餅，搭配普羅旺斯燉飯，還有美味的純素手工乳酪盤和法國麵包以及葡萄。下午我們繼續我們的法式可麗餅盛宴，做了更多的可麗餅，搭配新鮮的水果和融化了的巧克力。終於，我們結束了我們一整天吃貨的行程並且踏上回家的路。後來阿仁告訴我們，他和Alex一直到了台北的捷運上才發現那隻貼在他夾克背後的大魚，而這隻大魚現在被他們貼在他們公寓的門上。

這次的大朋友絕大多數都是新面孔，我們很高興邀請他們一起上來，和孩子們一起討論感受、暴力的行為以及尊重其他人的個人空間的重要性。這個話題很多人都覺得沒有和他們的家人或朋友討論的必要，但其實這些真的很重要，而嚮光協會很希望能夠透過處理這些困難的課題，伴隨著創意的教育，來達到真正的培力。我們希望孩子們也可以學著怎麼去和其他人一起分享知識、惻隱之心以及愛。

我們需要你們的支持以繼續這個終生的志業，但我們目前的募款進度嚴重落後，非常急需你們對於孩子們的支持，得以支撐到今年年底。你的捐款，將為另外一個人的生命帶來正面的影響！

Bringing a new type of experience to children through culture, art, and plant-based food, is something that only we can do – and can only do with the support from those who want to share.  In a chance meeting, we met Alex and her boyfriend Aren at an intimate gathering they hosted at their vegan friendly home in Tamshui. Instantly we knew we had to have this amazing French chef who was dedicated to creation vegan cuisine meet the children of ChingChuan!

We came up with a game plan on making the day even more fun and getting the kids to have an opportunity to learn about the games of France. Since it was just a little while after April 1st (known as April Fools Day), Alex shared with us the game of “poisson d’avril.” We did not anticipate that the children would be so and spend a great amount of time making fish big and small to secretly stick onto the backs of others throughout the day.

The kids were able to make their own savory crepes for lunch, paired with ratatouille, and a delicious vegan Mooncheese platter surrounded by french bread and grapes. In the late afternoon we continued our crepe creation extravaganza, afternoon sweets of fresh fruits and melted chocolate. After we finished eating (an entire day’s worth) and made our way home, Teacher Aren told us later that it was only on the MRT back in Taipei that he and Alex discovered a massive fish on the back of his jacket. They proudly mounted the child’s masterpiece on the door of their apartment. This time we also had mostly brand new Big Friends and were glad to invite them up and also directly talk to kids about feelings, acting out in violence, and mandated the need to respect others physical personal space. It’s a topic many people do not necessarily want to get into even with their family or friends but it’s time that something so important was left unspoken. Bright Side Projects is eager to undertake tough issues alongside creative education for true empowerment. We hope children will also learn to share the knowledge compassion, and love with others.

We need your support to continue the lifelong work that we are doing. We are several months behind on our funding and desperately need your support for the children to make it through the end of the year. Consider a donation to make a true impact in a person’s life.

這次「藝術，讓愛發聲」系列活動：穿越景框，讓愛顯影，我們特別邀請動物平權攝影師－許閔皓老師，要透過攝影教小朋友們認識小動物。

我們準備了幾台數位相機和I Phone，由閔皓老師從「為何攝影」揭開相機觀景窗的帷幕。介紹過景框、對焦、光線和角度等等基礎後，我們準備練習攝影的遊戲，讓孩子們從遠的近的，上下左右角度，來拍攝綠葉、大樹、還有各樣誇張有趣的動作。大家玩得不亦樂乎，烈焰陽光也阻止不了大朋友小朋友在觀景窗中奔跑和跳躍！

中午吃飯前，閔皓老師為接著要登場的重頭戲：狗狗攝影，預先做了介紹。像是，如何接近狗狗。除了安靜的對待狗狗之外，也透過一些方法讓狗狗認識自己。大家練習伸出手背，讓狗狗嗅嗅味道，作為打招呼的第一步。在吃完濃郁的純素泰式綠咖喱，和大家最愛的椰奶水果沙拉後，就準備迎接狗狗們的到來囉！

原本吵鬧不休的孩子們，都屏氣凝神地等待。終於看見載著狗狗的車子，緩緩駛入育幼院大門。小朋友們壓抑興奮的情緒，探頭探腦的樣子，真的好可愛啊！兩隻黑色成犬，以及兩隻幼犬下了車，志工們先帶著狗狗認識環境，減緩牠們緊張的情緒。在新奇而安靜的氣氛中，狗狗們正式進場！

這次的狗狗們來自台灣瑪莉愛狗協會，他們以「為台灣流浪狗尋找永遠的家庭」為宗旨，幫助受困、受虐或被流放的流浪狗。讓育幼院的孩子們認識流浪的狗狗們，意義非凡。一方面教導孩子們遇到流浪狗如何應對，更透過孩子們單純的視野，為狗狗們拍攝生動的照片，進而增加狗狗被領養的機會。兩全其美的課程，最能代表嚮光協會的精神！

從狗狗進場開始，孩子們便眨巴眨巴的盯著。狗狗們一開始非常緊張害怕，尾巴蜷曲夾著。但經過些許時間相處，孩子們的輕柔撫摸，漸漸卸下狗狗們的戒心。最後竟倒在孩子們身邊撒懶睡覺。孩子抱著狗狗，圍著瑪莉愛狗的大朋友坐成一圈，孩子們詢問著關於狗狗的一切「狗狗為什麼這樣，為什麼那樣？」而大朋友一一給了解答。當天最讓人印象深刻的莫過這一幕了！提升孩子對動物關懷的意識，和對動物的求知慾，讓我們覺得，一切都值得了！

最終，孩子們一刻也沒停的用相機捕捉狗狗們的身影，直到牠們要上車回家的最後一瞬。狗狗離開後，跟孩子們欣賞一天下來的照片。儘管才剛認識攝影這個媒介，但出來的成果，超乎想像！只能說，永遠不要小瞧這些稚嫩的傢伙們呢！攝影其實很私人，它反映攝影師當下的心境甚至人格。而從照片上，徹底看到孩子們的純真無私，更感受到滿滿的愛。

這次的活動，所獲得的回饋，我們覺得無比珍貴啊！
我們將會在另一篇報導上，分享小朋友們當天拍攝的照片喔～

Liza Milne has dedicated her entire life to helping the stray dogs and cats of Taiwan through rescue, fundraising, care, training, and adoption.

Born in the UK, Liza grew up in Taiwan and has become synonymous with the term “animal rescue.” In the past two decades, anyone involved in the field looks to her for undeterred strength, passion, and inspiration on how to never give up.

Liza has been a source of strength for Bright Side Projects as everything she does she does out of pure love and kindness. Much like the thousands of dogs she has single-handedly rescued, we are so happy to have her with us and hopefully teaching the next generation to respect and treat strays with compassion and understanding.

She now works with Mary’s Doggies making the world a better place for our furry friends.

我們應該好好珍惜每一個可以分享自身知識的時光，並把握住這個機會一同來討論那些關係著地球上所有生命的重要議題。每個人都可以是藝術家，這是我們想要讓孩子們瞭解的。嚮光協會決定再更進一步，告訴所有人：只要有心，每個人都可以是個社運分子，都可以是變革促進者，都可以為我們的未來盡一份心力！

We should cherish each moment that we have to share knowledge by taking the opportunity to approach social issues that are of great concern to all life on the planet. Anyone can be an artist – this is what we want to show kids and many others want to show them. Bright Side Projects takes this one step further and tells everyone that they can also be activists, be agents of change, thus one of the crucial steps in laying the path to the future. (English Below)

在我們的動物保護與福利系列課程，我們將焦點放在瀕臨絕種的動物上，透過小組討論還有紙漿雕塑的方式，討論並了解為什麼這些動物會面臨到瀕臨絕種的命運。我們希望孩子們可以創造出他們自己的全新品種動物的紙漿雕塑，並且詳細地列出牠們所面臨到的環境危機。

這次我們沒有直接告訴孩子們我們想要介紹的動物是哪些，我們讓他們從棲息地、飲食、大小、叫聲以及動作來猜到底這些動物是什麼，我們有討論到北極熊、紅毛猩猩還有石虎。我們讓孩子們站在這些動物們的處境，試想如果今天這些事情發生在自己的身上，會有怎麼樣的感受？不單只有在這裡討論，也希望能把這些討論帶回家裡，跟其他人分享。

我們討論了各種非必要的開發、對於某些特定原料的過度依賴（例如棕梠油）、能源的過度使用以及其他的行為，這些造成了各地以及全球性的氣候變遷，出乎我們意料的，居然有些孩子們已經知道這些瀕臨絕種的動物們所面臨到的困境有哪些，而有些孩子們卻表示他們一點都不在乎，因為這些跟他們一點關係也沒有。

但當被問到“那如果我今天要開一條路，穿過這個活動中心還有你家的話呢？”，孩子們立刻堅決的回說“不行！”他們開始思考我們都已經有這麼多條道路了，為什麼還要再開一條新的道路呢？為什麼要為了這條路破壞他們的家園呢？這成了我們帶入下一個討論的好時機，我們接著討論那這些瀕臨絕種的動物該怎麼辦的時候，孩子們開始為這些動物們抱不平，並開始思考“需要”與“想要”之間的差別。我們也討論了一些我們平常就可以做到的事情來減輕對於這些動物以及地球的傷害。

孩子們帶著剛剛所學到的進入到課程的下一個階段，要決定他們心中的動物是長怎麼樣子，用筆畫下來，用剪刀剪下形狀，再用衣架的鐵絲彎成動物們的骨架身形。他們把舊報紙撕成一條一條的，加入水中揉爛做成紙漿，再把紙漿上到骨架上，一個一個孩子們的動物就這麼誕生了！

我們後來花了快一整天的時間與紙漿交手，希望大家的作品在我們下一次回來台東的時候都已經乾了，這樣我們就可以替這些動物們上色，我們還有很多的議題想要跟孩子們一起討論，一起學習，而這個能真正培力於孩子們的獨特教學模式，非常需要你們的支持！

We should cherish each moment that we have to share knowledge by taking the opportunity to approach social issues that are of great concern to all life on the planet. Anyone can be an artist – this is what we want to show kids and many others want to show them. Bright Side Projects takes this one step further and tells everyone that they can also be activists, be agents of change, thus one of the crucial steps in laying the path to the future.

In our animal welfare series, we brought the focus onto endangered animals through group discussion and paper mache. By talking about and understanding animals plus their reasons for being endangered, we hope kids would then create their own “brand new” paper mache animals and detail the environmental hazards they faced as well.

This time we talked about polar bears, orangutans, and (what was it again). Instead of telling the kids the animals we would introduce, we had them guess the type of habitat, their diet, size, sound, and how they moved. Putting kids into the scenarios that the animals may face and their loss, and asking kids how they felt if it happened to them, brought the issues home.

Unnecessary development, over-reliance on ingredients such as palm oil, excessive usage of energy and other actions contributing to climate change felt locally and where polar bears lived, were discussed. It was really surprising for us that some of the kids actually knew about the serious consequences that animals faced and yet some of them said they did not care because it was not themselves who were facing it.

When then asked “how about I build a road through this community center and over your house?” The kids adamantly said no and wondered why if there were so many roads already why this new one needed to be built and should destroy their homes. This became a perfect stepping stone as we launched into the discussion about how endangered animals came to be and soon enough, kids were defending them and balancing the act of what was a want versus a need. We went over some possible action that they could take lessen the harm on our planet and the animals.

Kids took this lesson with them on the next step in deciding what to draw and create for their own animals, sketching then cutting and reshaping the lines from discarded clothes hangers. They ripped old newspapers for the paper mache that would be used for the sculptures.

It was a long squishy paper filled day in the end, but we hope that the crafts will dry as expected so when we return later on they will be able to give life to their animals by touching up their masterpieces with color. We have so much more to talk about with the kids and learn together on this road and urgently need your support for this unique type of education method that truly empowers them.

我們是如何尊重生命，並從不同的角度去看待呢？很高興我們完成了 [藝術，讓愛發聲] 紙漿藝術營-地球與我們 的另一半課程！How do we respect life and see through the eyes of others? We are glad to be able to finish the second half of our “Advocacy Through Art” – Paper Mache & Endangered Animals workshop! English below

短片 Video: https://youtu.be/6h-ZtlYiJLg
第一半課程 First Half Photos: https://bit.ly/2wsHyan

透過遊戲互動，我們給孩子們介紹了北極熊、猩猩還有石虎，及這些動物們目前所面臨的危害－全球暖化、森林砍伐（為種植棕梠油），以及不必要的道路開發。最重要的是，我們向孩子們提問，如何可以改善這些問題。上半場課程我們製作了想像中的動物，並讓孩子思考這些動物他們可能遇到的人為迫害，下半場課程，我們終於可以為小動物們增添色彩了。

同時，我們也為孩子上了很有意義的一課。上次的課程，其中一個孩子救了4隻幼貓，雖然不幸的3隻小貓咪因為過於虛弱，沒能活下來，但是孩子們，像我們許多人會做的，盡了他們最大的努力。最後非常幸運地找到當地的志工團體，照顧最後一隻小貓咪，讓他恢復了健康，甚至為這隻撿回一命的小動物，找到了永遠的家。

藉著這次的機緣，我們簡單地為孩子講解，遇到要救援幼貓時該按照怎樣的程序去應對。我們用知識裝備孩子，讓他們在課外，也能夠嘗試去做批判性思考，也讓他們知道如何向外尋求幫助。

感謝支持者贊助本次課程。

Through interactive games, we introduced the polar bear, orangutans, leopard cat, and the hazards they faced – global warming, deforestation (due to palm oil), and unnecessary road development. More importantly, we asked them how they could be a part of the solution. Last time having created paper maches of imaginary animals that would also be threatened by various man-made hazards, this time the kids could finally add paint to their creatures.

We also had another important lesson to teach.  Last time the children also rescued 4 kittens, unfortunately 3 of the passed away but the kids, like many of us, tried our very best. We were fortunate enough to find locally based volunteers that nursed one of the kittens back to health and found the saved life a furever home.

We related this to kids and gave them a basic rundown of what to do in situations when they are faced with rescuing kittens. We equip kids with knowledge that can be used outside of the classroom, challenging critical thinking and letting them know to reach out for assistance.

Thank you Taitung Government for sponsoring this workshop and our supporters.

Because of them and their faith in us, we have transferred this into creative-educational classes and countless number of warm nutritious plant-based meals for the children.

自從我們於2011年來到清泉，便自此不斷的被這個地方深深吸引。今年特別重要，因為兩年前我們答應10歲的孩子，去參加他們的畢業典禮，而如今我們實現了承諾。

沒有任何一個地方，像清泉一樣教會我們這麼多事，像是與社區還有這裡的孩子互動。用自己的雙眼，見證孩子們的成長。六年前當我們都還不知道自己在做什麼的時候，有些孩子就加入了我們的課程。看著他們從桃山國小畢業的感覺真的很美妙。如今，都有孩子開始回來課程裡協助更年幼的孩子了呢！

這同時也是第一次，我們能夠將孩子們的回憶存放至相簿裡，詳細的紀錄他們從小學一年級到現在，與我們一起的旅程。這中間花費了幾個禮拜的時間，從50,000張照片中篩選出每個孩子最好的照片。也帶我們走進了時光隧道，回憶了很多美好的時光。

藉著從清泉孩子們身上學到的一切，我們得以磨練與提升。互動與學習一直都是雙向的。我們恭喜2018畢業的班級，並期望他們知道，我們永遠會支持他們。僅僅希望我們可以理解，6年前我們做了哪些，而當時我們可以怎麼與孩子、為孩子們做的更多。

嚮光協會也祝福桃山國小，接下來的一年都能夠依舊精彩。非常期待再看到孩子們！

嚮光協會整合了各方資源，並且提供孩子特殊少見的課程內容來反映社會現況。而小朋友與大朋友之間的交流是無價的，不僅能夠擁有健康的溝橋樑，更表現出自我的想法。最重要的是，讓孩子們知道，永遠會有人陪在他們身邊關心他們。

我們致力於充分孩子們的權利。透過與他們產生連結，從主題課程以及生活中，努力去除不平等對待、狹窄心胸、性別歧視、種族歧視、性騷擾等狀況。純素餐點皆為新鮮現做，課程中也都盡可能使用回收素材，並使用不含動物成分之副產品。快來加入我們，或是支持我們，一起建構長期而強壯，打破常規的支援系統，與孩子們並肩走他們人生的道路。

Ever since setting foot in ChingChuan in 2011, we have been continuously drawn to this area. This year it was especially important for us to make it to the graduation as we made a promise two years ago to ten year old who asked us if we would come to hers.

There has been no other area that has taught us so much as the interaction with the community and the children here. We have seen the kids grow before our very own eyes, some having joined our workshops before we knew what we were doing six years ago. it was amazing to see them graduate from TaoShan Elementary School. Some even join our workshops now to help out with the younger kids.

This is also the first year we were able to put together photography albums that detailed their journey with us starting in first grade. It took several weeks to go through close to 50,000 photos to select the best of each child’s photos with us took us on a time warp with many memories. We have have honed and refined what we are doing thanks to what we have learned from the children in ChingChuan. Interaction and learning is always a two way street. We congratulate the class of 2018 and hope they know that we are always there for them. We only wish we knew what we were doing 6 years ago and could have done more with them and for them!

Bright Side Projects also wishes a wonderful year ahead for TaoShan Elementary School and can’t wait to see the kids soon!

Bright Side Projects provides tailored resources to individuals often inaccessible and presents content that rarely seen elsewhere to challenge the status quo of society. The social interaction that the children and Big Friends have is priceless paving not only an outlet for healthy communication and expression of ideas, but shows them that someone is here for them and cares for them.   We are dedicated to empowering communities by connecting them to dismantle discrimination, intolerance, sexism, racism, sexual assault, with a pro-intersectional approach to topics in the classroom and in life. Plant-based meals are freshly prepared and workshop materials use upcycled items with no animal byproducts whenever possible.

Come join us or support us in building a life-long strong support system that breaks the mold and walks side by side with youth in this journey called life.

這個冬季，為了孩子們以及婦女同胞，我們亟欲募款以提供營養的蔬果膳食、點心！臺灣嚮光協會所策辦的各式活動當中，健康、環境友善取向的蔬食料理一向是不可分割的獨特元素，而只要一人五百元的慷慨捐贈，不但能讓我們為年終的專題工作坊準備美味的純素餐點以及妝點寒冬的薑餅，還可以遞送基本的植物性食品給15個我們所知道最有可能受惠的家庭。希望大家可以協助我們！

嚮光協會是臺灣第一個希望透過富含創意的課程以達致充權，並且藉由內容豐富的活動以推廣蔬食餐飲的非營利機構。

您也可以幫助嚮光協會完成冬日心願清單。當您支持在地農夫時，您同時支持了一個孩子在寒冷的冬天享用一頓營養十足的植物性餐點。當您贊助一戶家庭必需品時，嚮光協會的合作夥伴就會慷慨地捐贈收入的一部分，讓孩子在一月份的禮物製作工作坊享用熱騰騰的餐點。

為了能及時將愛心在12月5日前送到家庭及孩子手上 （看進度可能1月份才有辦法送），此次募款和必需品捐贈的截止日期為12月5日。萬分感謝您的支持! 若有任何問題請email info@brightside.tw 聯繫我們!

訂單截止日期至12月5日為止，我們會再根據收到的贊助來確認我們能幫助多少家庭和孩子。若有多餘的資源，將用來協助嚮光協會的任務及活動，感謝大家!

Bright Side Projects is Taiwan’s first non profit association that concurrently promotes empowerment and plant-based foods through creation and content rich activities. Plant-based meals is a unique and integral component of all of our workshops. Help us fulfill our Bright Side Projects Winter Wishlist by 12/5 so it takes so economic stress from expenditure. When you support local farmers, you also support a nutritious plant-based meal for a child this winter. Sponsor an item for a family and our partner will also donate a generous percentage of proceeds to a hot meals for children during gift creation workshop in January.

Your generous donation through Santa Jia Xin Toys for Taiwan will cover the delicious vegan meal and treats for one child this winter in our gift creation workshop taking place throughout Taiwan. It will also benefit the delivery of staple organic plant-based food to 15 families in ChingChuan (Hsinchu) and Taitung. Each family we support may have anywhere from one to six children to feed. To make this a reality, we need to raise close to $9,000 USD but we will do what we can with however much we are funded.

Our deadline is 12/5 for both monetary and items donations so we can personally deliver it to families and children in time on mid to late December. Thank you!

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 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.

石梯坪水梯田復育計畫 Ocean Rice

米粑流是個超讚的計畫，支持著當地花蓮石梯坪靠海種植稻米的阿美族原住民，依傍著海洋讓他們的稻米有著獨特風味。幫助我們提供來自當地原住民的無農藥有機稻米，給當地的其他原住民家庭。我們希望可以讓15個家庭每戶有至少4~6

公斤，30個家庭以上每戶有至少2公斤，總計需要150公斤的稻米。當你購買我們的願望清單，10%的收益將作為嚮光協會的捐款！稻米最主要的兩個捐贈地區包括五峰清泉（泰雅族家庭）以及臺東新馬蘭（阿美族家庭），都是我們長年經營的地區。

若募款超過目標門檻，捐款將採買更多有機米以及其他生活必需品給其他家庭，或作為幫助社區孩子的基金。

贊助品項: 台灣最有名的良質米種 （運費可能另外算）
目標: 150公斤稻米
總金額: 新台幣26,250元
慈善捐助額: 總收入之10%
贊助一戶家庭: 2 公斤新台幣350元 或  6公斤新台幣1050元

MiBaLiw is an amazing project supporting the local indigenous Amis tribe of Shitiping in Hualien, rice grown in close proximity to the ocean resulting in an unique taste.  Help us to provide pesticide free rice from local indigenous farmers to local families. We are hoping to obtain at least 4KG-6KG for at least 15 families (around 90KG at $15,570 NT or $520 USD) and 2KG for 30 more families (60KG ; $10,500 NT or $350 USD). When you purchase rice for our wishlist, 10% of their sales will be donated on top to Bright Side Projects! The two main areas for rice distribution include Wufeng’s ChingChuan (Atayal families) and Taitung’s ShinMaLan (Amis families) who we work with all year round.

If we exceed our goal, the funds will purchase more rice and other necessities for families or will benefit the children in the community.

2018年冬至慶典

嚮光協會堅持為孩子們的權益充權，並期待與各樣的動保團體單位合作，讓孩子們能夠用回收再利用材料製作捐款箱給這些單位。我們希望透過這樣的給予付出，讓孩子們因著幫助別人，進而感受到他們是有能力掌控自己人生的。在與他們共度的時光裡，我們將跟孩子們一起製作節慶點心，像是純素巧克力杯子蛋糕，加上椰子鮮奶油，還有美味的薑餅人。

孩子們將學調：基本烘焙技巧、關於環境與動保的多樣社會議題

我們預估將有75位孩子參加活動；$1,500元贊助一個孩子的課程還有溫暖的一餐！

孩子會學到：
教育/技能：飲食，藝術創作
人際關係：感恩與回報
社會認知：回收環保, 動保

活動期間：2018年12月8日至2019年1月12日。
活動地點：台東新馬蘭部落、苗栗幼安教養院、桃園睦祥育幼院、新竹清泉部落， 台中， 等等

2018 JiaXin Activity English

Bright Side Projects is adamant about empowerment and will look to collaborating with various animal welfare organizations to have kids make donation boxes for them out of upcycled materials. We hope that by being able to give back, the kids feel that they have control in their own lives by being able to help others. In spending time with them, we will also create holiday sweets together made from scratch, such as vegan chocolate mug cakes with coconut whipped cream and delicious gingerbread cookies.

Thank you MOODIWOOD, Howard Plaza Hotel, and Cornelia Chen for sponsoring all of the workshop meals and materials for children in ChingChuan and Taoyuan! We still have 45 kids that need your love and support.

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. 比起只是收到禮物，我們更希望為孩子充權，讓他們能夠回饋社會，表達感恩給那些這一年來支持他們的人。
2.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。
3.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。
4.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。

2018 桃山國小畢業典禮 Taoshan Elementary School Graduation

by Bright Side Projects | Sep 5, 2018 | ChingChuan, Project Wrap Up | 0 Comments

自從我們於2011年來到清泉，便自此不斷的被這個地方深深吸引。今年特別重要，因為兩年前我們答應10歲的孩子，去參加他們的畢業典禮，而如今我們實現了承諾。 沒有任何一個地方，像清泉一樣教會我們這麼多事，像是與社區還有這裡的孩子互動。用自己的雙眼，見證孩子們的成長。六年前當我們都還不知道自己在做什麼的時候，有些孩子就加入了我們的課程。看著他們從桃山國小畢業的感覺真的很美妙。如今，都有孩子開始回來課程裡協助更年幼的孩子了呢！ ...

愛上化妝這家件事追朔到高中時期參加熱舞社!
大學因為唸戲劇系的關係更多了很多機會擔任化妝設計的職位 接這就這樣一路去到了溫哥華進修。

I fell in love with makeup when I joined a dance group back in high school; then got my hand into doing more makeup design while in University. Afterwards, I headed all the way to Vancouver to hone my skills in the craft!

很興奮可以帶我們的核心課程之一到台中。透過手作、美食還有藝術來了解文化，是嚮光協會教育課程中最主要的特色。

We are so excited to bring one of our core classes to Taichung. Learning about culture through craft, cuisine, and art is a unique staple for Bright Side Projects educational courses. English below!

我們首先介紹為何墨西哥的五月五日節在美國反而舉辦的更為興盛，接著了解商品化、資本主義、文化借用等等的主題。我們將皮納塔展示給小朋友，並告訴他們皮納塔神秘的起源，以及如何用回收再利用的材料，製作自己充滿活力的藝術作品。

當孩子們組裝皮納塔時，他們的臉龐都展現了熱切得專注眼神，還有他們的笑容，這些都一一溫暖了我們的心。也像是他們知道自己只要努力付出就能夠創造任何東西。我們的大朋友也在孩子們的身邊，給他們聲援和鼓勵。最後我們希望孩子們能夠知道，不論他們在人生中遇到什麼困難，我們都會陪在他們身邊。

午餐我們幸福享用Vegan Project為大家準備的令人著迷的純素午餐。有馬鈴薯沙拉, 芒果鳳梨莎莎+墨西哥脆餅, 墨西哥漢堡+烤薯條, 當季蔬果果昔。 看見Eason跟他團隊，特別準備的餐點，不只美味，擺盤還超級精美！愛心滿分！

而我們也需要更多台中的志工，因為我們理想的比例是一個大朋友對一個小朋友，或是一對二。這次的課程非常困難，因為孩子們需要裁剪厚實的紙箱。如果能有更多協助的手，一定可以讓課程更好更順利。我們也為孩子們自己勇於面對這次的艱難任務感到驕傲（很多大人都不一定做得到呢）！

We first introduced the holiday Cinco de Mayo and why it was celebrated far more in the USA than in Mexico, dealing then with concepts of commodification, capitalism, and cultural appropriation. Kids were shown the pinata and told of its mysterious origins then how to create their own vibrant works of art from mainly upcycled materials.

Kids had an intense look of concentration on their faces as they took the time to piece together the pinatas. The smiles that showcased on their faces warmed our hearts, as they knew if they put their effort into it, they would be capable of making and creating anything. Our Big Friends were there as supporters to cheer them on and we hope the kids know that no matter what difficulties they face in life, we will be there for them.

At lunch we were spoiled with a delicious decadent plant-based lunch prepared by Vegan Project that included 馬鈴薯沙拉, 芒果鳳梨莎莎+墨西哥脆餅, 墨西哥漢堡+烤薯條, 當季果昔

Seeing the labor of love for that Eason and his team put forth made the meal extra special, a feast for the palate as well as the eyes!

We do need more volunteers in Taichung as our ideal ratio is 1:1 or 1:2 Big Friends to pair with our kids; this time the project was very difficult for the children in cutting up the cardboard boxes so having extra hands would have been fantastic. We are so proud that the kids stepped up to take this task all by themselves (most adults would have just given up).
