What a year it was for 2025!
We are grateful for the youth that keep coing back to our workshops and have continued to become teachers and volunteers for us as a sense of pride in that they are enjoying what we are doing and also then want to continue to spread that love to others. We will now add onto our newsletter by quarter and complete it with the last workshops and activities for the year so you can view a comprehensive 2025 pdf.
Spots for Youth involvement: 899
Plant-based Meals: 813 (not inclusive of 141 for Big Froends)
Locations: 6
Creative Education Workshops: 25
AfterSchool LIKAT Program: 97
As mentioned before from Brighter Futures and afterschool care program in Taitung and our creative education workshops throughout Taiwan, boxing, yoga, surfing, animal welfare and senior dog care, cupcake making, sushi making, pizza baking, elementary school graduation and indigenous harvest celebration, we just love being a part of it all, a part of life.
The end of the year brought up a series of DJ through Love courses combining our Mini Me (understanding of self) programs tied in with music therapy. This series took us numerous weeks and meetings with several DJs to be able to finally get the proper equipment and the right people with passion together to start the session with DJ Marcus Aurelius at the end of the year and continue with DJ Noodles to open up 2026.
But there’s even more in store for us in 2026 - we are so excited and hope to be able to tell you soon as we take what we are doing on the road in a big way. Keep an eye out for Bright Side!
