Topic: Taiwanese NGOs--Where should we donate our money this time?
We have collected about 10,000 NT in donations over the last several months, so it's time to decide where to donate our hard-earned money! You're invited to do a short presentation about a Taiwanese NGO or charity that you like and want to support. In your presentation, please include:
--the NGO's name
--its main purpose
--how you know about it
--why you like it
--how it would spend any money we donate to it (if you can find this out)
So I can plan the session, could you please reply to this email by Thursday 9 Dec, 12 noon to let me know:
a) if you plan to attend
b) if you want to do a short presentation.
Thanks!
:) Lynn
P.S. We'll also learn about our new Blog from our very own Google Guru, Ellen. She'll let us know Everything You Want to Know About our Blog but are Too Afraid to Ask!

Dear Good People,
Some of you may know that I love chorus music and have been a chorus member for years.

There will be classics and some folk/popular songs from Hakka, Japan, Russia Slovakia, China and so on. Most lyrics will be translated into Chinese so you don't need to worry if you can't understand what it is about!
It is free for entry but ticket is required. If you or your friends want to come, please let me know how many tickets you need and I will bring them to you when we meet on 11 December.

Hello Good People of TAIWAN ISSUES in ACTION
---------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSLATOR Volunteers Wanted: Chinese to English
No experience necessary
Interested? Please keep reading below...
---------------------------------------------------------------
As you may know, one of our new members, Jiali, lived and worked in Cambodia for 2 years (2006-7). She's written a book about her time there. It includes her lovely drawings (see jpeg attachment).
--------------------
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me in translating my book.
These chapters are my stories and experience in Cambodia.
My friend wants to publish this book for supporting me on doing volunteering work.
As I mentioned before, I worked with BSDA (a NPO owned by Cambodian monks) for three years now.
www.bsda-cambodia.org
I do fund raising each year, most of the funds go to them.
So, the profit of this book is also used for people who need help.
To thank your great help, I will have your name to be printed as a translator on the chapter you translate.
And I'll also write "Taiwan Issues in Action" on the book as a supporting group.
I need about 10 to 20 translators.
If you're interested in this project, even it's your first time to do the translation.
Please feel free to contact me at 0975-032-080,
jialichen.taiwan@yahoo.com or p0731ucr@hotmail.com
You'll get one chapter first. And if you're willing to do another chapter, I'll give you another one.
Please see the attached chapter. Most of the chapters are short, only one page. The longest one is two pages.
I hope the translation won't take you too much time, around 1 or 2 days...
The deadline is Nov. 6.
Your great help is appreciated!!!
Looking forward to hear from you soon...
JiaLi and Lynn

She wants to make the book bilingual so that her foreign friends can also read about her interesting experiences. Would you like to help translate from Chinese to English? After you translate, I'll check your English and make suggestions so it's 100% correct and natural. Have a look at the sample chapter Jiali's attached for us.
Here's more information from Jiali directly:

Claudia would like to share with you her visit to Aowanda, Nantou
Aowanda
If you tired of living in the urban jungle, and you haven’t got enough time to go abroad, Nantou in central Taiwan is a good choice.
Aowanda is a small village in Nantou. It is famous for its autumn colours. It only takes 2 hours to get from Taipei to Aowanda. But don’t go there on a weekend or holiday—you’ll just leave one crowded city and go to another!
In autumn, the whole forest park turns from green to red. It’s really hard to believe that in only 2 hours, we can enter a whole new world. Beautiful sunshine!
