The Charity Garden Fair was held on Oct. 18 to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Many unique stands were designed by students/teachers and delicacies prepared to attract participants’ eyes and appetites. After deducting the cost, most of the earnings will be donated to social welfare foundations pro rata.
The opening ceremony began with the dance performed by students of Welcome Club and Beat Box, a mimicry show. President Chou expressed that Oct. 21 is the 50th anniversary; the University was founded 50 years ago. By holding charity garden fair, the earnings can be donated to people in need; some classes have even decided to donate all their earnings.
Chairperson Yang of the board of trustees said that the charity garden fair offers students opportunities to be creative and to work in teams to help social welfare organizations. By planning the fair, teachers and students can better understand the University’s motto of “Revere the Divine. Love the Human” and the spirit of serviam advocated by Saint Angela Merici. He emphasized that serviam is different from benefaction because one can only serve if one understands the other person’s needs and work enthusiastically to meet their needs. The one providing services can also experience the meaning of serviam. At the end of the opening ceremony, Chairperson Yang and President Chou beat the “gong” to open the fair.
This year, there were nearly 100 creative stands. To attract more customers, students tried whatever they could. In addition to traditional Taiwanese food, there were also exotic cuisines, such as Mexican taco and burrito, Spanish Tortilla de patatas and risotto, Belgian waffles, Vietnamese salad, Beijing pancake, Japanese shaved ice and Mizu Shingen Mochi and French chocolate fromage frais. Many visitors outside the University tried out the tasty delicacies.
Haunted house made visitors scream and traditional games of “shoot the water ball” and “surprise box” were extremely welcome. The student dormitory also prepared shooting games that attracted many visitors. Some classes offered body painting and yukata dress up experience for participants to try something new. Laurel Stickney came from the United States has been studying Chinese in Wenzao for six weeks. It was her first time to take part in a garden fair in Taiwan. She helped with the body painting activities. Laurel said that even though the weather was hot, everyone was excited and generous to contribute to people who need help and she felt the love of Taiwanese people.
Every year, Wenzao celebrates its anniversary and commemorates the death of St. Ursula. Since 1968, the University has organized the annual charity garden fair to serve the needy and the weak. It is hoped that, through the fair, more people in the society are encouraged to provide assistance. As the University celebrated its 50th birthday, residents from local communities and alumni came to join and to recall their memories in the good old days.
