Tainan craftsmen repair homes for vulnerable families during Dragon Boat Festival

Despite the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the Tainan "Craftsmen Doing Good Deeds" group continued their mission, dedicating their time to repairing homes for vulnerable families in the Tainan region. The initiative saw volunteers from multiple trade unions working across different locations to provide much-needed assistance.

In Liuying District, the group focused on assisting a woman named Ms. Lu, who despite battling illness, works diligently to support herself and her aunt who requires dialysis. The dilapidated state of her home added a significant financial burden. Following a report from a home care service, the "Craftsmen Doing Good Deeds" group mobilized. Electricians ensured safe temporary power, followed by demolition and roofing work. Environmental protection teams assisted with waste removal, while aluminum workers measured and installed new door frames. During the holiday, electricians completed wiring, and plumbers worked on creating accessible ramps for easier movement within the home.

Simultaneously, in Annan District, the group addressed the needs of Mr. Wu, a disabled individual whose family relies on his wife's meager and unstable income from odd jobs. Their home suffered from severe disrepair, particularly the living room partition and kitchen ceiling, leading to leaks during rain. The Tainan Labor Affairs Bureau, after assessing the situation, quickly scheduled the necessary repairs.

The collective efforts of these skilled volunteers, sacrificing their holiday, highlight a strong community spirit. The repairs included essential electrical and plumbing work, roof construction, and the creation of barrier-free ramps, significantly improving the living conditions and safety for these disadvantaged families. The wife of the Tainan mayor also visited to offer support and encouragement to the volunteers.
