弘道國際工作營(原名微孝營) Hondao International WorkCamp

Houpi International Work Camp

A Fountain of Youth! Let’s Work And Feel Fun In Houpi!

　　According to the statistic the elderly population in Taiwan will be exceed 42% andsoon we will be one of the super- aged nation. Hondao Senior Citizen Welfare Foundation (Hondao) was founded in 1995 and aims to let seniors in Taiwan live happy, safe, and dignified lives in their own homes and communities. Its programs center around three core values: Filial Piety, Community Care, and Dream Never Gets Old.

　　In order to make more young people concern about the issue of elderly in Taiwan, Hondao and Houpi Community would like to deliver a warm welcome to youth from all over the world to Taiwan and participate into Houpi community as an International Work Camp.

　　後埤社區今年為第三年導入國際工作營，前兩年讓社區的居民見識到了不同國家的文化，態度從一開始的猶疑轉變為熱切歡迎，尤其是青年志工到社區做服務，帶來給長輩15天無數的歡笑，也縮短了世代間的距離。今年期待青年志工加入社區服務，能再次捲動社區活力，凝聚社區居民的意識，透過長輩關懷，讓青年志工對長者有深層的認識，透過文化交流，讓國際志工看見不一樣的台灣在地文化，激發在地志工對於家鄉的認同與歸屬，有望一日投入社區服務的行列中。
