Taipei, May 9 (CNA) A non-governmental organization in Taiwan has launched a fundraising campaign, as part of an effort to give migrant workers greater access to Chinese language learning.

The course content will focus on everyday life in Taiwan, including conversation in traditional markets, she told CNA.   [FULL  STORY]
