So far, they have helped raised 200,000 books and influenced almost over one thousand teachers and administrators. 

“What we’ve lost in Taiwan, we’ve found it in Myanmar.” Retired principal Qu De Yuan and his wife also went to Myanmar to volunteer. They were impressed with the effort of Myanmar teachers. Principal Qu was also happy that college students are willing to walk out of their comfort zones and help those in need. 

“To give, is to learn for us.” Professor Yen recognized the growth of the students during the preparation. 7 students shared with everyone what they’ve learned for the 6 months of preparation.
