Inaugurating A Community Center In Wufeng

Today, many local folks converged to inaugurate a new community center, host a meal together, and I was told that I needed to give a talk. :) Not many spoke English, but everyone knew about Karma Kitchen.

It's amazing how the far ripples of ServiceSpace travel. On the right side of the room, there was a poster with a question: what does serving with what you have mean to you?



In the crowded room, as all of us were soaking in the hot and humid weather, two young girls from Asia University introduced me. They had been practicing delivering my intro (in English) for the whole month! So, so cute. One of them, Hannah, later wrote to me, "You are a very great kindness presenter. Touched my heart instantly. May joy be with you hourly. I am a Christian, and I will pray that God is always beside you. Also, I will deliver ServiceSpace idea for my classmates to let them know about the sharing joy."



After I shared Karma Kitchen stories, we all went to plant a tree -- they selected an Indian tree, which they referred to as "Smiling Tree".



Bunch of local farmer projects were on display. Local firemen had come to attend, alongside Asia University's leadership, and political leadership, too. Despite the language barrier, I had insightful conversations with many youth as well. All throughout, I felt like I had several cameras pointing at me at all times, to make sure that every silly joke I made was captured in the annals of someone's FB page somewhere, LOL. :)



Who would've thought, that I'd be hanging out with farmers in rural Taiwan on a 1-day layover, talking about compassion and kindness?

Projects I'm Involved With

"Service doesn't start when you have something to give; it blossoms naturally when you have nothing left to take."
