An educator launched a creativity contest called "Design for Change,"
which allowed children to be involved a soft approach to social reform.
Now in Taiwan, the students of HSNU* also documented their actions during which they tried to make some changes in Taiwan.
Some students care for environmental issues, while others care for rare diseases.
In the following video, we can see that children & teenagers alike do have insights as we do.
Hello, everyone, I am Jhang Bao-sheng.
In Design for Change, I would like to share my expereience of how to triumph over Tourette Syndrome.
(Jhang Bao-sheng, talking confidently in front of camera, is a patient suffering from Tourette Syndrome.)
(Jhang shares his own experience, encouraging people with Tourette Syndrome to stand up to the challenges in life.)
Doctor, please pass this video that I made...
to those people troubled by Tourette Syndrome. Thank you!
I hope after watching this video, everyone, either with Tourette Sydrome or not, can accept themselves despite the physical or the mental challenge.
(There were some students took to the street for 3 days, asking passers-by to give encouraging words to children with cancer.)
(In the process, these students encountered lots of obstacles.)
(But when the sick children saw the video and were cheered by the love within, the students said it's all worth doing so!)
Cheer up! You will be better soon! GO~
Cheer up! You will be better soon!
Be strong! Don't give up!
Living is a blessing itself!
The children laughed with joy, and the parents thought that though we are just high school students, what we did were really meaningful. They were touched.
(Taking the initiative to change the society, the students of HSNU also put their words into action on campus.)
(The plastic-cup umbrella holders, hung on the outside of classroom, are not only convenient but eco-friendly.)
We like to order drinks during the summer.
And we pilled up the cups at the back (of the classroom), and thought it was troublesome to recycle them.
So we just grabbed them and started to make umbrella folders.
Confidently believing themselves capable of doing something, the students would feel that they are not so detached from the society.
(As long as it is out of goodwill, even the tiniest move can change the world positively.)
(In fact, you and I and everyone else have the power to change!)
Cheer up!
