In response to this situation, in Taiwan there are one in 40 migrates who came from Southeast Asia. In the capital of Taiwan, Taipei, there are nearly 100,000 foreign workers who move to work in industry and social welfare, and make up for the lack of work in the industrial chain. Beside the yearning toward home, there is also a cultural and food incompatibility when traveling alone in a foreign place.

3. Plan Overview:

          The project focuses on the Southeast Asian migrant workers’ dilemma when they are working in Taiwan, so we can better understand how non-profit organizations help the Southeast Asian workers to improve their lives. In many project sites, hospitals or even private houses, people can see foreign migrant workers. They generally come to Taiwan because they cannot find suitable jobs in their home countries to support family expenses. However, after coming to Taiwan, incomplete legal provisions and measures have deprived these migrants of their work rights, and their lives and property cannot be fully protected. Relevant social adaptation issues have been generated, leading to biased news reports, allowing the public to have a social stereotype on them, which also deepens the difficulty for the migrant workers to blend in the society. A team of two former members of The-4-Way-News makeup Migrants’ Park. They are devoted to writing fair and unbiased reports and translate the reports into languages that migrant workers can read, so that they can read while working in Taiwan. The two also hope such reports can change Taiwan society's impression of foreign migrant workers.

 

 

4. Discuss and Internet environment:

          During the production of this project, we used the school's community class and discussed and produced it after school. In school, we will discuss and write web content in the classroom, and the recording tool will use our own laptop to query the data and content records. In order to organize the data and the convenience of correction, all content and photos are uploaded to the google drive folder, and the shared google docs are opened, so that in the case of sharing, all team members can discuss and modify online together; , The Internet we use is the local area network fiber (100MB) provided by the school, which allows us to query data and records more quickly and efficiently.

 

 

5. Problems we have to Overcome:

          When we were doing the research, we could only find limited information about Migrants' Park. In order to solve this problem, we invited the founder for an interview, so that we can learn more about the association. Another problem we faced during the project is that we encountered the prohibition of not coming to school due to the break-out of the CoronaVirus. We figured that we can use on-line communicators such as LINE to discuss our project, and complete our works in google drive.

 

 

 

6. Participation:

          Participation in International Schools CyberFair makes us as a more active citizen. We had learned about various groups of people who need help from society and different groups of people who are putting effort into helping the society. From this learning, we want to promote these groups of people and association’s caring to the world and make people feel the temperature of this society.
