This summer, students from National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) traveled to the Talamakau in Sandimen Township, Pingtung County, to host a joint indigenous service camp. Through their enthusiasm and efforts, the students engaged with the community, applying their knowledge and skills to give back to society. The event was co-organized by the Extracurricular Activities Division of the Student Affairs Office and the Indigenous Student Resource Center, inviting NCHU's indigenous students as well as non-indigenous students from various departments to participate.
The primary beneficiaries of this service were the students of Cing-Ye Elementary School in Sandimen Township. Sandimen consists of ten villages, nine of which are Paiwan, with Talamakau being the only Rukai village. The school emphasizes its tribal characteristics through rich cultural courses designed to help children better understand their heritage. They have developed a curriculum based on Rukai culture and established a Rukai song team to provide diverse cultural education. Through singing, the children learn to speak their mother tongue and proudly express their culture, achieving outstanding results both domestically and internationally.
The four-day camp offered a variety of enriching activities. The curriculum included hands-on classes introducing different cultures, using Pixar’s "Inside Out" to help children understand their emotions, embrace themselves, and accept others. In this digital age, a course on video editing taught the children how to become media creators and develop their unique personal brands. In the science classroom, they learned through play by making water rockets designed using the "mass ratio of water" and "air pressure effects." Indigenous medical students from the university’s College of Medicine taught the children about health and hygiene, emphasizing the core mantra "85210," which the children quickly adopted. An important aspect of the camp was teaching the children the importance of gratitude and love, and practicing saying goodbye.
During the camp, NCHU worked closely with the teachers of Cing-Ye Elementary School to ensure the smooth completion of the event, creating unforgettable summer memories for both the university students and the children of Talamakau.
