DAILY POST 8.8.09-8.9.09
HELLO EVERYONE :)
today there was a typhoon!! the wind is really strong and the rain keeps pouring down... all my clothes are damp. so this morning started out with luo buo gao for breakfast. then we went to go meet with the children where we taught them some english words and two songs, mary had a little lamb and if youre happy and you know it. the children also taught us their bunan chant which is a greeting that means you are great. afterwards we had to leave the mountains because it would be dangerous if we left any later. good thing we left on time because we were later notified that there had been an avalanch. on the way down the mountain there were streams of water coming down the mountains and piles of rocks everywhere! so scary :O! afterwards, we took an one and a half drive down to a wheat factory where we listened to a lecture that wasnt so interesting and then went to a rice factory that was very empty. we werent able to leave the rice museum due to typhoon conditions so we ended up making windchimes using acrylic paint. we were then able to leave and drop off our luggages at the hotel and eat dinner at mcdonalds :D! no asian food for a day. at night we played some card games (jessica/elton are cheaters!) and we went to sleep to wake up to a wonderful breakfast provided by mcdonalds...hashbrowns, egg mcmuffin, and hot coco. we then went to tamali to visit the church we will be volunteering at and to make sure that everything was okay for the upcoming events. fortunately everything is fine there so we will be able to continue our volunteer work. then we went to go eat lunch where the cook caught four fish, beat them to death, skinned them alive, and cut them open in front of us. DELICIOUS! after i was almost done with the rice, i found a worm related bug in my rice and lost my appetite after that. on our way back home we stopped by areas to see the ocean and we saw piles of driftwood on the shore. ive never seen so much wood before!!! and according to the news the typhoon seemed to be getting pretty bad in some areas.. theres flooding and a hotel even got knocked over! apparently my family watches the same news and the news makes it seem especially scary so they kept calling to make sure we were okay and not in the region where the typhoon was getting bad. we also stopped by a mochi store and everyone picked two, i picked two peanut ones which were AMAZING!!! then we returned to our hotel and we all met in the lobby at 4 to go to starbucks

leaving Li dao
Today for breakfast we had milk tea and lobo gao with an egg. At 8 o'clock we met the students in the classroom. We split into the groups from yesterday with one volunteer and each with a couple of students. Today we taught the kids English worlds like Mother, Father, Grandmother, Grandfather, brother, sister and etc. We also taught the how to sing two songs, "Mary had a little lamb" and "If you're happy and you know it". Because of the typhoon we had to leave today instead of saying a couple of more days so we had to say our goodbyes and we handed out candy and small figures that Jessica and Jonathan brought. We drove down the mountain in the rain and went to eat rice in a wood box. We then went to a rice museum and saw how rice is processed. Since the typhoon was huge we had to say at the rice place for about an hour. They had these small animal figures for 100 NT you could paint so Jonathan, Jessica, Georgina and me bought them to paint. I painted a cow, Jessica also painted a cow, Georgina painted a pig, and Jonathan painted a tomato guy. We went to McDonald's to eat, i had a Big Mac. We then went to the supermarket, arcade and department store next to McDonald's and bought stuff. Because of the typhoon our schedule is all thrown off so today we are living in Taitung Hostel for Teachers Public Workers.
Final Day at Li Dao
Today was our last and final day at Li Dao. We taught the kids how to sing 2 songs, Mary had a Little Lamb and If Your'e Happy and you Know It (I think that that's the name of the song). They learned Mary had a Little Lamb pretty fast, but only learned half of the other song. After teaching them the songs, we left and came down the mountain. When we reached the bottom of the mountain, we went to the Rice Museum, and went to the hotel. We had splendid meal at McDonald's, and came back to our luxurious hotel. This was our day.

8/7 in Lidao Elementary School
Second day in Lidao Elementary School!
Morning call on the 2nd day was 7:00 AM. For breakfast we had egg and shredded pork sandwich and an ovaltine drink.
At 9:00 o'clock, all the volunteers and students gathered together inside the classroom for our first meeting! At first Dr. Ryan Wang introduced us all to the students and then we individually went up to the class room and did a short self-introduction. After we each introduced ourselves, all 20 students gave a short speech about themselves. Some of the students were very creative in their speech. A few of the students even sang and danced!
Then at 10:00 o'clock the students were split into two groups of 10 students each. One group of students first worked with teacher Mr. Huang with Google Earth. The second group worked with Gin, who was in charge of the art section.
First Mr. Huang explained the concept of Google Earth to the students. After explaining, he passed out a questionnaire for the students to answer, so we can analyze what the students knew about the world before using Google Earth. The volunteers, Jenny, Elton, Thomas and I (Jonathan) provided help to the students.
After the questionnaire, we started working with the students with google earth .The students were very enthusiastic about using Google Earth. We each showed the students different parts of the world, such as USA, Rome, Australia, Japan, and even their hometown of Lidao! Something Irecognized was the students knew a lot of Taiwan's Baseball player, Wang Chien Ming, who plays for the New York Yankees. I find that it's important for Taiwan people to make a significant impact outside of Taiwan, so that students will have a better knowledge about the outside world.
After looking at Google Earth, we next worked on our team flag! Our team was called the Bunun's. The students wanted to be called #1!! They were very excited in making the flag. We used paint and markers in designing the flag. After finishing the flag, we started to teach them an easy english cheer. Elton suggested the idea that we sing: 2,4,6,8, Who Do We Appreaciate!! Bunun, (clap, clap) Bunun (clap, clap), Bunun Bunun Bunun (clap clap clap). The students got the hang of the song very quickly. Next thing we know, they were cheering very excitedly.
The children seemed like they understood the English we were trying to teach them. Some of the students understood more english than others, but that may be due to the fact the students were of different grade levels.
Afterwards, it was time for LUNCH! However before eating, Dr. Ryan Wang broke the class into groups. Each volunteer was in charge of 2 or 3 students. Our job was to each lunch and interact with them. Lunch was a traditional school meal. It consisted of rice, sour vegetables, a pork cutlet, and egg cooked with vegetables.
After lunch, our next activity was for each group to draw their own interpretations of the world. We, the volunteers, were not suppose to help the students draw. We could only give them some advice and tips for the drawings. In my small group, the children drew the 7 continents and drew some cute animals to represent different countries.
Later, the children were taken to the basketball courts and we taught the students how to play some American Football. At first, the students didn't know much about American Football because the kids were trying to shoot the footballs into the basketball hoop. Even though footballs weren't meant to be used as basketballs.. they made many baskets. After teaching them how to throw the ball, the children were starting to throw the football correctly. After getting a feel of American Football, Dr. Ryan Wang came and taught the kids, mostly boys, how to play some American Football and Rugby.
After playing some American Football and Rugby, next off was DINNER! Dinner was a BBQ Dinner! There were lots and lots of food. Just to name off some...there were corn, pork, tempura, vegetables, soup, fish, and much much more! Thanks to everyone that helped make the BBQ possible! The children were thrilled to have BBQ for dinner. They sang and yelled, and even helped cook some of the food.
The night capped off after dinner clean up. That's all for now.

LiDao Elementary School International Volunteer: Day one
All students from LiDao Elementary School, International Volunteer and working staffs from Taitung DOC of National Taitung University.
It is a happy start.
meeting the elementary students
Today we met the children of Li dao elementary school. We introduced ourselves to them and the introduced themselves to us. We split into two groups, my group is with Jonathan, Elton, Jenny and Howard. The kids learned about Google Earth and I showed them where i lived and where my school was. They learned about the different places and looked for cities like LA, Rome and where they lived. We also made team flags and our team name is Bunan, the name of their tribe. We then separated into small groups each volunteer had a couple of students and we had lunch together. After lunch our small groups created world maps of how they thought the world should be. After we taught them how to play football. A lot of the boys were very fast learners and they we very good at throwing and catching the football. At night we had a BBQ feast. We had pork, chicken, veggies, fish, tofu and corn. The BBQ was very delicious.
DAILY POST 8-7-09
today is the first day we met the children and we taught them how to use google earth and made our team flag. we are the bear ("duma") team. the kids are very energetic and seem to have had a good time seeing their school on the computer. lunch was pretty good and the children are all very talkative and have lots of questions to ask.
Lidao Elementary Workshop Summary
Today we helped children use Google Earth. It was quite interesting seeing them get excited when they found the right continent or country. I had fun helping them find the countries and show them parts of the world that they have never seen before. I hope that they will continue to learn more about the world and possibly use Google Earth to learn about the different cultures, landmarks, and geography of the world.
Later we tried to build our team flag. We decided to have our mascot as Lidao village's tribe, Bunan. The other group's mascot was Duma, which was the native mountain black bear in Taiwan. We had the word "Bunan" labeled across the banner that we were going to make. The banner turned out quite messy, but nevertheless full of creativity and the spirit of the children.
We had free time left, so we decided to teach them a cheer for our Football Game that is going to take place later. We taught them, "2, 4, 6, 8, Who do we appreciate? Bunan, Bunan, Bunan Bunan Bunan." We filled the room with energy and taught them English at the same time.
Before lunch we tried to teach them "Mary Had a Little Lamb." They haven't completely grasped the song, but they are getting close.
All the volunteers were assigined to take care 3 children. There names were Chu Wei, Tuo Shen, Hao Wei. We had lunch together with the children. We had a short break and then we were gathered together again. I was assigned to take care of the 3 children to draw what they believe to be the world map. In the end only two children, Tuo Shen and Hao Wei, continued to participate within my group. We were given a giant canvas to sketch the World Map. Now that they had given the knowledge of the world geography from Google Earth, we started to draw the Earth.
The kids looked at the sample and they thought the Americas looked like a giant bird, so Hao Wei drew the America like a giant bird. Tuo Shen thought Eurasia looked like an Elephant so he drew an elephant shaped landmass into the canvas. They then drew each continent and shaped it into place. I then guided them into labeling each continent with English and Chinese. It wasn't very simple for them, but they tried hard and got it right. We then labeled countries that were given to us and then we labeled the cities. We showed it off to each other group then we headed down onto the Basketball court, to play Football. We couldn't use the grass due to the giant Typhoon.
They were extremely excited when we took out the first Football. They grabbed it and started it shooting it into Basket as if it were a basketball. We then taught them to throw it and we started to play catch. They were all very enthusiastic and we played catch for an hour. Then Dr. Ryan came down and went over all the rules and throwing techniques. He ran some Football exercise drills. They all had fun playing Football.
At night we had a barbeque with the children of Lidao. They all chanted out songs while waiting the meat to be cooked. It was really fun watching them sing and chant. The food was really good. The most special thing about the meal was the salt-coated fish which was cooked over the grill. The skin was too salty to be edible, but nevertheless the inside meat had great texture and flavor. I guess this was the cooking style of the Bunan tribe. The typhoon was really big and the rain poured. It was very comfortable to eat the delicious food and sit by the warm fire. As Georgina said, "It was like a bonfire in the rain!" We retired later after the meal.
The next day, breakfast was served. We were going to stay a lot longer, but because of the immense rain pour from the Typhoon we had to go down the mountain village of Lidao later in the morning.
However, we stayed long enough to give the children one last lesson. I first went up with Joey to the board to write out the different members of the family in English. I called up random children to write up the words in the language of Bunan. Then Georgina and Jessica taught them "Mary had a Little Lamb". They had a hard time with the last line, "Who's fleece was white as snow", but they successfully learned the song. Jonathan and Thomas went up to the board next to teach the children to teach them the childhood song, "If your happy and you know it." They all knew the melody, but we taught them the English lyrics.
Sadly, it was time for us to depart and we had to say goodbye to our knew found Aboriginal friends, the Bunan Children of Lidao Elementary.

8/6 First Day up to Bunun Tribe
After a restful day in Taitung, on the second day we were about to begin our work for the Lidao Elementary School.
We started off our day eating at the coffee and tea shop in our ming zhu. Breakfast consisted of a meat bun salad and a freshly brewed soy milk. After breakfast, we went to the National Taitung University to make our name tags and discuss the course material. After lunch, we drove up to Lidao.
The trip up to Lidao Elementary school consisted of many windy and curvey roads. Despite that, the scenery was beautiful. The crystal clear and crisp river seemed as if they came from a fairy tale. The prevalent lush green trees and bushes up in the mountains show the natural beauty the Bunun Tribe encounters.
After arriving to Lidao Elementary School, we quickly moved all our personal belongings to the police station dormitory, where we are staying for the 3 days. The rooms were divided by gender. Boys and girls were separated, some rooms consisted of 3 people, while others like mine had 6 people in a room!!
After settling down we walked to Lidao Elementary School, which was right next to the police station. We divided up the volunteers and parents to three groups. The parents were in charge of the kitchen, another group was in charge of one of the classroom, and the last group of volunteers cleaned up the computer table. Before the classrooms and kitchen were a mess, but after a couple hours of hard work, it was spotless. After cleaning we ate noodles for dinner. It was yum yum. There were two large pots of noodles.
After dinner, our first group meeting was held. The meeting was about how we were going to divide our group and plans for the next day next day. The first group consisted of Elton, Jenny, Thomas and me (Jonathan). The second group consisted of Joey, Cindy, Georgina, and Jessica.
The night finished with some card games.
