To raise funds, the eight students from this year’s graduating class at Kelin Elementary School collected branches from trees on school grounds, which they fashioned into handles for utensils. The students estimated that they would raise NT$3,200 each — or NT$25,600 in total — for the trip, which is to take place in April. Making the utensils was hard work for the students, but they persisted and did not give up when they encountered failure, Lee said. The initial batch of utensils has sold out and the students are now working on more to fill orders, Lee said. The students’ determination to help others in the community is also a great example for their junior classmates, he said.
