Global aging is a highly foreseeable long-term trend and will drastically change the way that societies and economies work. Hondao Senior Citizen’s welfare Foundation established in 1995 addressed this issue by proactively changing the seniors and the public’s perception of the ageing while providing community service to enhance health of the seniors. Hondao aims to let seniors live in the happier and more dignified lives in their own homes and communities.

This project first took place in Xishi community which is located in Fuxing village in 2009. Last year, Xishi and four other communities established a Fuxing Elderly Community Alliance. Through their combination, the services were expanded and they all looking forward to the young people coming all over the world to participate in the work camp here.

In 2015, Xishi community will build an Elder Day-Care center, providing services on the basis of Maslow’s theory (Physiological needs, Safety needs, Love and belonging needs, Esteem needs, Self-actualization needs)for different needs of healthy elders. You can fully get along with elders in camp, attain to different cultural exchange through chat with them, design courses, held activities.

Aims:

1).To take care of elderly living in the countryside lack of resources.

 2015 TouBian,Top Band !

 Singing your tone and bring the love on top! 

Taiwan is a kingdom of fruits, there are many kinds of it that we harvest in different seasons, especially in Summer. Toubian community is a small agriculture-based village in center-western Taiwan, it also has many kinds of fruits, and especially famous for lychee and longan. Many elders grow those fruits by themselves, so when you come to Toubian, maybe you will have a chance to help them for a while, to experience Taiwanese farming, and enjoy those fruits as well. Those elders who live in Toubian are smart but shy, they don't know how to show their passion to others, so what we want to do for them is to regain their confidence and help them to display. And we also have other goal is to find two unique songs which represent Toubian (one in Chinese, other one in English.), volunteers and elders will learn both languages at the same time while they are practicing together. After this, we will paint on a wall and make a special memory together.

If you like music, fruits, and simple life, please come to Toubian, it is going to be an amazing experience of your life. Welcome to join us,” singing your tone with us, and bring the love on top!”

因臺中市政府大力推動社區照顧關懷據點的成立，以利服務社區內更多長輩，民國102年頭汴社區照顧關懷據點就在這樣的背景下成立了，成為本會所輔導的據點之一。頭汴社區照顧關懷據點結合各種社區資源，對社區內的長輩進行電話問安、餐飲服務、健康促進、關懷訪視等各項服務。經過兩年服務經驗的累積，以及志工服務能量的成長，現今更期盼透過國際工作營的辦理，結合海外志工，進一步捲動在地青年志工的投入，在社區整體營造層面投入更多元的效益與活力，同時透過老人服務，激起青年朋友關心高齡化議題，進而加入服務高齡長輩行列；透過社區服務，讓國外青年認識台灣最豐富及熱情的在地文化；讓在地青年，回歸家鄉，對家鄉有認同感、服務鄉里，故於今年舉辦頭汴國際工作營。

Husang International Workcamp

Build A Xanadu For Elderlies!

Because of the geographical constraints, the elderly here do not have a lot of interaction with other people. In 2013, Hondao held elder’s percussion ensemble and there are 15 elders join it. We aim to let Taiwan’s seniors enjoy healthier, safer, and dignified lives in their own homes and communities. Therefore, the international workcamp is held in Husan community to active the elder life.

  2015年臺北市北投區湖山社區將第一次舉辦國際工作營，湖山里是位在陽明山國家公園內的純樸社區。因社區屬於狹長型，房子建築都依著山坡地形而蓋，來回往返屬於斜坡道路，雖然居民彼此互相認識，但受限環境造成彼此聯絡感情的不便利，因此希望藉由國際工作營，讓國際志工以及在地青年，一同來關懷服務在地長輩，並共同改造社區公共空間，帶給社區共同的話題與回憶，重視社區老人照顧，讓湖山社區成為臺北的世外桃源。
