1. The Fun of Agriculture in Early Spring
In early spring 2023, the TTY volunteer team invited residents from the Happy Mount Foundation and the Chensenmei Social Welfare Foundation to participate in the TTY Field agricultural experience activity. In this field, residents can not only experience the joy of farming firsthand but also engage in agricultural education, experiencing the aroma of rice and the scent of soil. In addition to participating in agricultural work, residents can also engage in creative painting, dress up, and decorate scarecrows, which added a lot of joyful atmosphere to the entire event. Through this activity design, 2 social welfare organizations that had never met before were able to communicate with each other and establish friendships through joint participation.
TTY further invited children from 5 organizations, including the Happy Mount Foundation, the Chensenmei Social Welfare Foundation, the Yu Cheng Social Welfare Foundation, the Andrew Charity Association, and the Hope Foundation for Cancer Care, to participate and collect their paintings about the activities and rural scenery during the day's event, to permanently preserve this beautiful moment.
2. Summer Online Art Exhibition Combining Creation and Institution to Create Love Gift Box
TTY further collaborated with the Yu Cheng Social Welfare Foundation to select multiple masterpieces from numerous works and print them on paper tapes on the covers and introduction cards for Mid-autumn Festival gift boxes. When children and parents learned that their work was selected to be printed on the annual public welfare packaging, they were extremely happy to share their joy on Facebook, and motivates them to actively invest in the art field.
TTY's volunteers also participated in the activities of the Yu Cheng Social Welfare Foundation, working together at the Shelter Workshop in Wugu to complete the packaging of Midautumn Festival gift boxes. This gift box not only features children's paintings in the fields on the exterior but also contains the "TTY Rice" jointly produced by TTY volunteers and their mentally disabled partners, embodying their care and warmth.

The TTY volunteer team first discussed the course content with the foundation and considered the needs of students with different disabilities. They planned a yoga ball rolling competition and bubble-blowing activity so that every child who thinks of outdoor activities can have corresponding and suitable companionship methods. When they became tired of playing, they invited the residents to taste the egg cake made of rice specially prepared by the volunteers, and together they enjoyed a fitness class full of energy, both physically and mentally.
