There are people who live a luxurious life while wanting more to give them extra comfort; on the other 
hand, there are people who cannot even afford the basic requirements of living while wanting to help others in their community. In Dongshi Township, Chiayi, a group of 13 immigrant women, mostly from Southeast Asian countries, prove Good Samaritans still exist.
According to the Chinese-language Liberty Times, these women were born in Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Cambodia, and Thailand and moved to the township after marrying local residents. These immigrant women met each other at different occasions but found something in common — a drive to help each other and, even more, help others in difficulty. They found an informal association “United Nations Sisters” in late 2015, aiming to help the elderly people living alone.
Dongshi Township sits between the west shore and the foothills of the Central Mountains in Chiayi, with a growing aging population. Some elderly people who live alone are not capable of preparing for themselves a decent meal. [FULL STORY]
