To fulfill its mission of public service and show care for the underprivileged, the Kinmen Public Affairs Association (KPAA) recently organized a charity event, delivering donated supplies to a local care facility. In collaboration with the International Culinary Association of the Republic of China, the Hakka Performing Arts Association, and the Chang Chin-Luan Cultural and Arts Foundation, KPAA held the 99th installment of the “Joyful Banquet” series—a heartwarming event combining a charity performance and appreciation banquet at Jia Hui Developmental Disability Institution in Taoyuan. The event aimed to show tangible support for vulnerable communities and share love and blessings.
The delegation was led by KPAA President Huang Yi-Kai, along with Advisor Chang Bo-Yuan, Director Tsai Yao-Ren, and Deputy Secretary-General Lee Jou-Ching, who fully participated in the event. Every detail, from selecting the care institution to coordinating logistics and programming, was meticulously planned by Lee Jou-Ching. The donated supplies were generously provided by the Chang Chin-Luan Cultural and Arts Foundation.
Ho Mei-Ling, Director of the Jia Hui Institution, personally led over 20 staff and residents to attend and enjoy the event. Together, they spent a joyful and memorable time during the feast.
Deputy Secretary-General Lee Jou-Ching served as the event host. The performance included a variety of singing and dance segments—classic songs, duet medleys, and vibrant dances—that showcased rhythm, creativity, and the essence of modern performing arts. These heartfelt performances symbolized boundless love and blessings, earning rounds of enthusiastic applause and bringing immense joy to the residents.
At the end of the event, Director Ho Mei-Ling presented a certificate of appreciation to the organizers, expressing gratitude to all the supporting groups for their kindness. She noted that these acts of generosity send a powerful message to the residents—that society has not forgotten them and continues to care deeply for their wellbeing, allowing them to live with joy, confidence, and dignity.
Following the first stop, President Huang Yi-Kai, accompanied by Advisor Chang Bo-Yuan (also Chairman of the Chang Chin-Luan Cultural and Arts Foundation), continued with two more acts of charity in Taoyuan. The second stop was at Ai Jia Development Center in Pingzhen District, where they donated 12 boxes of oat milk and other supplies to help improve residents' nutrition and well-being. The center expressed sincere thanks by presenting a certificate of appreciation for charitable contributions.
The third stop was Guanyin Love Home, a private care facility for individuals with severe physical and mental disabilities. On behalf of the association, Lee Jou-Ching extended heartfelt regards and donated 12 boxes of oat milk and other supplies. Director Cheng Shao-Ke accepted the donation on behalf of the facility, making for a warm and sincere exchange.
Since its founding, the Kinmen Public Affairs Association has upheld its core mission of "caring for the local community, uniting fellow citizens, promoting well-being, and connecting Kinmenese people at home and abroad." It has been actively involved in public service and cultural exchange. This outreach in Taoyuan marked a significant step forward in the association’s commitment to public welfare, expanding its focus to support vulnerable groups beyond its usual public affairs work.
This event also highlighted the compassion and civic responsibility of the Kinmenese people toward Taiwan’s social needs. Special thanks go to Deputy Secretary-General Lee Jou-Ching and her husband, whose dedication and coordination made the three charity visits a smooth and meaningful success. Witnessing the joy among the underprivileged during the giving process, this initiative truly embodied the spirit of "Caring Without Barriers, Loving Together"—transforming a slogan into real action. It was a truly meaningful social care activity where love was shared, received, and celebrated, contributing to a more stable and harmonious society.
