[Reporter Chen Chien-Lin/News of Taoyuan] In order to help the disadvantaged grandmothers and poor child students in Nantou, the freshmen of CYCU Department of Information Management worked with Puren Youth Care Foundation to sell “Grandma Turmeric Cookies” and “Angel Cake” through a bazaar. They practice the knowledge about business administration and marketing learned from class and invited CYCU teachers and students, and the public, to join the project together to enjoy the pleasure and extend their kindness!

The multiple canary yellow cookies were put in the paper box. Students of Department of Information Management promoted the cookies to the teachers and students passing by, saying that turmeric was so good to one’s heath and also a kind of anti-oxidant healthcare food, and the cookies made of turmeric was delicious and healthy! The sophomore student of Information Management, Wu Shao-Chi, mentioned that they combined the strength from Puren Youth Care Foundation to promote the bazaar in school. The freshman, Fu Yi-Tzu, said that it was the first time for them to organize a bazaar and they unbelievably raised more than NT$20,000 in four days; such result made them happy for all night long and they felt that all worth it although each of them worked so hard before the bazaar!

Puren Youth Care Foundation has been founded for more than 3 decades. The raw materials of the turmeric cookies sold at the bazaar were sourced from the turmeric planted by the grandmother of the disadvantaged child students subsidized by the Foundation permanently. The Foundation CEO, Su Tsung-Ming, said that “We purchased the turmeric from the grandma by contract to help them generate stable revenue to take care of 4 grandchildren, and the finished cookies could be sold to generate the fund for fellowship to help more poor families’ children keep studying.”

Meanwhile, these students also sold the “Angel Cake” to raise the fund for fellowship to the disadvantaged child students and invite all people to “help children keep studying with the power from one piece of cake!” The Angel Cake was a sponsorship plan worked by the Foundation and Sunny Hills together many years ago. At that time, the founder, Hsu, Ming Jen, of Sunny Hills worked hard to promote the “Angel Cake” baked using the egg white left from production of pineapple cakes and then provided the Cake to the Foundation for sale at bazaar to help the rural area disadvantaged families’ children. The Foundation CEO, Su, Tsung Ming, said “I am so happy to see the CYCU juniors organize the activity to practice what they learned and also help others; such activity really makes sense.”

CYCU Chief Strategy Officer, Wu Zhao-Ming, indicated that the practice class was intended to enable students to learn how to solve problems and train their sense to care the society by executing a real project. We hoped to train more young people upholding professional ability and knowledge responsibility for the society by virtue of such learning and training, and also to work with more alumnus and the society to make Taiwan better.
