Our task for the day is at the highland catholic orphanage
yang-ming-shan-qixing-112
and Ning's speciality chocolate fondue
it's a free old folks home, run purely on donations
and we even get to ride some back at the resort
it's almost like genting, foggy and cloudy but not too cold either
it's a hit with the kids, not to mention interactive, the one with the correct answer gets a balloon prize.
For the secondary students
all board!
besides entertaining them in the common area
Lisa's granddad showing the rotary stand and bells
it's tedious cleaning up a very run down place
including the elders themselves!
