Greeting all!

Thank you for your continued support of providing meals for indigneous Taiwanese children in Taiwan.
We couldn't have made it this far without you! This summer and heading into the fall season of 2025, we’ve continued our LIKAT afterschool care program for kids in Taitung, providing regular plant-based meals thanks to your support, ensuring our kids will have a full belly as teachers to guide them in homework as well as playtime afterwards. We’ve hosted several creative educational workshops that took children on “trips” to Italy in making pizzas and a stopover in Japan, making sushi rolls.

Bright Side Projects also brought back creative education workshops in Mexican Day of the Dead, highlighting the symbolism and reverence for loved ones who have passed on. Other than a delicious meal where the kids made California style guacamole, they were able to learn about this special holiday by painting donated terracota and cement pots and planting flowers that would help guide the spirits back home. Despite not having the marigolds that lovely colorsand learning how to care for the flora still provided a wonderful experience for the kids.

Our two indigenous locations remain the same; ChingChuan in Hsinchu (Atayal youth) and ShinMaLad FUKID in Taitung (Amis youth) 448 plant-based meals have been served since January through October (note for the LIKAT afterschool care program staistics are updated through September). Please check out our pdf report for full images and further description of the workshops meals were paired with. Thank you!
