Typhoon Bawei Departs, Tainan Volunteers Immediately Aid Vulnerable Families

As Typhoon Bawei moved away, the "Workers' Good Deeds Group" in Tainan immediately mobilized. On July 12, volunteers fanned out across the city, working simultaneously in Liuying, Yanshui, and Annan districts to help three families rebuild their homes.

Workers' Good Deeds Group immediately mobilized, working in three locations to help disadvantaged families repair their homes.

One recipient, Ms. Lu in Liuying, battles illness while supporting her family and caring for a disabled relative. The burden of home repairs was beyond her means. In Annan, Mr. Wu, who has a disability, relies on his wife's precarious part-time work to cover frequent medical treatments. Their home suffers from leaks during rain, a problem they cannot fix. Meanwhile, in Yanshui, the elderly Mr. Cai struggles with poor health and uses a cane. His children work out of town, leaving him to face the persistent leaks in his kitchen and bathroom roofs alone.

Upon receiving reports of their plight, volunteers from various unions quickly organized. They collaborated and took turns completing the necessary repairs. The group aims to provide these three families with safe and comfortable living environments as soon as possible. Wang Xin-ji, Director of the Tainan City Labor Affairs Bureau, praised the volunteers. He noted that they come from diverse professions, diligently working their regular jobs before dedicating their weekends to public service. Their professional skills, he said, help rebuild homes and offer much-needed social support and care to the families.
