� � � D:What has been your favorite workshop and why? R: This is a tough question because all the workshops I have been to were amazing! From my point of view, Piñata Celebration in ChingChuan was the most exciting and amusing workshop so far. Piñata is a decorated figure containing small toys and sweets that is suspended from a height and broken open by blindfolded children. In my country, Peru, we use the Piñata to celebrate children’s birthday party, so it brought backl memories of my childhood. I did love watching the children how they created their own Piñatas and how cheerful they were trying to break the Piñata in one hit. I also introduced the traditional song “Rompe la Piñata” while they were hitting the Piñata. We had a blast! D: Are there any memorable moments you can share with us? R: I think the workshop Create for Love: Christmas Gingerbread Party was so lovely and magical! Even though I’m not good at cooking, I did enjoy making gingerbread with the children. I tried my best to make the most beautiful gingerbread, however it ended up looking pretty ugly and quite scary. But n matter how ugly my gingerbread was, it was incredibly sweet inside because I put all my love and effort into it. Moreover, I designed a heart shape Christmas card for the children and I wrote down my thoughts and feelings about this meaningful holiday. Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It’s time for caring, sharing and giving love to each other. So, last Christmas, I gave the children my heart. D: Why have you decided to continue to join our workshops? R: Foremost, I’m passionate to get involved in different cultural activities/programs such as creative education sessions, volunteering services, summer camps and so forth. Without doubt, Bright Side Projects’ workshops are incredible! They have amazing ideas about craftivities, they do come up with cool ideas for preparing tasty plant-based meals, as well as they make their workshops truly fun so there's no time to be bored! The main reason I decided to continue to join their workshops is due to I aim to potential my cultural awareness and language skills. Moreover, I want to be able to adapt myself to a variety of new environments, and have the chance to mingle with people from different mindsets. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so why not try something you haven’t done before? As the old saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained! D: What are your hopes for the children or what you can do? R : I truly hope the children stay healthy, safe and be grateful for the little things in life. Since no one knows what the future has in store for us, let’s try to build a better future for all of us; a future of growth, opportunity, and security, anchored by the values of people whose heart is good. Overall, having the chance to be involved in Taiwanese communities and building bonds with amazing people were priceless! I may not be the most powerful and rich person to make a big impact in the whole world, but I'm glad to make a positive impact in THEIR world. Thank you so much! ¡Muchas gracias! ! I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
