It is said that teaching a man how to fish is better than giving him a fish. The ROC-RMI vocational training program is the best practice to realize this spirit.
The ROC-RMI vocational training program
This project is divided into two parts. One part is about vehicle repairing, and the other part is about electric wiring. There are two professors come from Taiwan to teach the Marshallese people the basic knowledge and skills of these two fields. These two skills are more important to the Marshallese people than others. In addition, Taiwan donates some tools and materials that these project needed. It is great to support them software such as knowledge and hardware instead of money.
Lucky enough to participate in this diplomatic project.
Richard Liu, the secretary of the Republic of China (R.O.C) in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, told me to assist some details of this project, so I joined the meeting with the Marshallese Public Works officials. Only when I was involved in the diplomatic meeting and sat in the meeting room, I could feel that I stand for the Republic of China (Taiwan). It is really lucky for me to join the discussion of the international project even though I just sat and listened, I still concentrated on every detail to learn the way the foreign officials talked.
The most beautiful office in the Marshall
I have to say that perhaps the Ministry of Public Works office is the most beautiful one in this island. Colorful walls and great design make the environment happy and relaxing. I was attracted by the meeting room with lots pictures on the walls.
I am so proud while seeing the national flag of the R.O.C on other country.
There are total 50 students chosen to join the project. They all wore the blue uniform with the flag of R.O.C (Taiwan). This is a big project not only for the Marshall Islands but also for Taiwan. The project is so meaningful. It means that Taiwan has the ability to help other underdeveloped countries around. We are keeping moving forward, and we still are contributing to the world.
The national flag of Taiwan is printed on students’ uniform.
I designed the stands of fruits from Taiwan Technical Mission for the opening ceremony.
Dr. Lin teaches electric wiring.
