Brussels, Aug. 1 (CNA) A group of foreign students in the Netherlands, led by a young 
woman from Taiwan, recently raised 500 euros for education on Orchid Island, by cycling around Southern Netherlands.
“It is not much, but it shows how much we care,” said Yang Ching-wen (楊景文), who is studying an MBA at Erasmus University in Rotterdam and organized the July 30-31 cycling event that took participants to The Hague, Delft, Leiden and Gouda.
“The idea occurred to me after I read an article about education on Orchid Island sent to me by a friend online,” explained Yang, who also visited the island to the southeast of Taiwan proper.
Motivated to help countrymen in need, Yang asked eight of her classmates from Japan, South Korea, Brazil, India, Bolivia, Peru and Holland to make the journey with her after the school semester ended. [FULL STORY]
