About

WHO WE ARE

TWMC (Taiwan Math/Science Circle) is a non-profit organization created and supported by the leaders of the Berkeley Math Circle that gathered many Taiwanese students to bond and explore the realms of the mathematical world. The TWMC Student Association was started in 2018, due to the common interest of the Taiwanese students who are part of TWMC, to serve the purpose of connecting students and creating a welcoming environment for curious learners. Recently, the spread of COVID-19 disturbed many families, causing them to lose money and each other. We have noticed the needs of the people around us and felt that there must be something that we can do. Hence, we gathered many supports from organizations, foundations, and enterprises, to start our charity project.

WHAT WE DO

We noticed the damage COVID-19 deals on the elders and the children, so we will begin events where we visit and care for the residents of nursing homes and orphanages. We want them to know that there are people who care for them and want to reach out to them. Our current plan is to help and support those in our communities, and ensure that there is a on-going system that they can rely on. In the future, we hope to branch out into the whole nation and support the disadvantaged. Although there is a limit to what us as students will be able to achieve, we want to start by doing what we can, by using the talents of each of us. We will be hosting fundraising music performances, auctioning self-made artwork, giving company to the old, tutoring the young, etc. We will give this our all and also connect with and invite companies to join us and spread the love. However, not only will we help the people, we also plan to work on preserving the aboriginal culture, because it's part of our history and our identity.

Members of

TWMC STUDENT VOLUNTEER COUNCIL

Charlie Lai President of the TWMC Student Volunteer Council

Helping allows us to connect with others, create stronger communities, and help build a happier society for everyone. It's not all about money - we can also give our time, ideas and energy to help those who are in need. If we all work together, we will be able to help the community and support the people. I had lived with my grandma for many years, and I've never understood why she would smile even after using up a lot of her energy and resources to help those around her. I worked as a member of the school council of a Christian school that plans and hosts many charity events. Through these events, I've worked with many compassionate people and have learned a lot of knowledge. I pondered on what grandma has told me and what I've learned from everybody from the events and from school, I finally understand why grandma smiles - because "it's more blessed to give than to receive". I want to inspire everyone and spread this ideal to the world.

Walt Jiang Vice President (Event-Planning Department)

I am Walt Jiang and I am in 6 grade. I am so glad to be a part of TWMC student council. It is my pleasure to do this job because I like to plan all sorts of fun activities. I want to spend time creating a list of things we can do to help this world as best as we can. I have been to different places that people need to help such as orphanages,
Hospital, and Caring homes. I have also been a volunteer that helps elders and children that have health problems or no family.I hope though this job to help more elders and kids that have no people to take care of. I also want more people to be a volunteer to take care of elder and kid. I hope this job will bring more people to do the same thing. Life is about service.

Ryan Huang Vice President (Financial Department)

I am very grateful that I have this chance to serve those who are in need. We often put our attention on the best ones in our society, but it is important to heed those that need care and support. Everyone has a story to tell and everyone should be treated equally. I inspire everyone to join TWMC CHARITY and create a loving community with us.

Wei-Jhen Chen Section Director (News and Information Department)

I want to join the student union because I hope I can help people who need to volunteer. This also means that we have stronger abilities and more resources than people, so we stand up more and more to give them a hand. When I'm helping people, I will feel cheerful because other people are happy and it makes me happy. I think it is very meaningful for me because I can spend my time participating in other different significant things for other people in the world. For my future, I hope that I can get good grades by studying more in school and reading more books, getting into a good college so I can find a high paid job, and the most important one is to help more people by joining the student union.

Po-Lin Chen Vice President Director (Foundation Section)

I joined the student union because I think it is a very amazing experience. We help people not because we want to be known or be praised, but because we want to change the world and make it a better place for the future generations. Thinking of all the things I'm planning to do in the future, joining the student union is only my first step. I hope I can do a lot to help everyone as I grow!

Yu Chang Section Vice President (Enterprise Section)

在一個非常偶然的時機與巧妙的學習中認識了TWMC學生會，但原先對學生會只有字面上的了解並無確切的深入與學習，現在慢慢的越來越喜歡，透過這舞台的資源與交流讓我學習到了不同的世界觀與機會。
對於參與志工與公益活動覺得它是一件不同的畫面與體驗，從最小跟著家人接觸的育幼院志工、淨灘活動、生態志工與媽媽常常幫忙的愛心媽媽活動、幫助病童活動，現在有個最新的消息111生活共好行動我也報了11/5號來去協助與幫忙，期待各個族群都能一起體驗到公益的樂趣，透過這具體的行動為自己帶來更加不同的世界觀與人際關係。

Emilia Chang Section Director (Budget Section)

我想要幫助這個世界上需要幫助的人，不論是老年人或是孩子們。

我來自一個大家庭，家裡有很多長輩和小孩們，身為長女和長孫，我暸解到家人需要許多的照顧和陪伴。

我想伸出援手，幫助社會上的弱勢族群。我要散播更多愛到這個世界上，我相信沒有比幫助他人更好的方法了！

I want to help people that are in need in this world, whether they are older generation or children. I come from a big family and there are many elders and kids. As the eldest grandchild, I am aware of the caring and companion they need. Therefore, we need to lend a helping hand to the underprivileged in our society. I would like to spread more love to this world. What’s a better way to do so by helping others?

Holly Shi Section Vice President (Internet Publicity Section)

"老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼"，我們不僅要關懷自己的尊長，更應該推及他人。很感謝TWMC提供關懷社會公益活動的平台，我願意奉獻我的愛心，期望更多人能得到關懷，也期望更多人參與未來的各項公益活動。

Ding Jieh Lee Section Vice President (Accounting Section)

在TWMC這個團隊裡，有關心我們的親切教練--Julia執行長，和耐心專業的教師團隊，在他們的幫助下，我找到學數學的樂趣，帶領我數次出國比賽，皆能獲得佳績，不僅增長了見識也開拓了視野！
這真是一個亦師亦友、助我更上一層樓的好夥伴！

William Lee Section Vice President (Musical Department)

The reason I've joined TWMC is because that my mom's friend told me that if I went to TWMC, l can have a better score and my math will be good. In the past my math is bad but now l can have a better score. l am happy that l am in TWMC and l hope l can help more people, so I joined the TWMC student council. I will use the knowledge I've gained at TWMC and apply them to help those who need help.
