Trash to treasure – delivering warmth to rural communities

You’re probably very familiar with ordinary banks, but have you heard of a toy bank? This bank specializes in recycling toys donated by members of the public. Donated old toys are revived through a multi-stage process manned by volunteers and “toy doctors.”The revamped toys are then transported to rural communities in the organization's very own toy delivery van, bringing warmth to the lives of many kids.

Once broken toys have been fixed by the nimble-fingered “toy doctors,” they travel together with other recycled toys through a system of cleaning, classification, and delivery, before finally being returned to the hands of kids; transformed from trash to treasure, the toys are oozing with eco-friendliness and compassion.

Toy doctors aren’t merely recycling resources but also providing a source of joy that is transferred to the kids via the organizations unique toy delivery van. In the future, the toy bank will continue to cooperate with toy doctors and the toy delivery van, providing a little bit of joy to kids in rural villages.

玩具化腐朽為神奇 為偏鄉童送暖

普通的銀行你一定很熟悉，但你有聽過玩具銀行嗎？這個銀行專門回收民眾捐贈的玩具，經過志工以及玩具醫生的一道一道關卡，舊玩具也可以變成新玩具，而重新整理過後的玩具將隨著玩具車送往偏鄉，為當地孩子帶來溫暖。

玩具醫生修理過後的玩具，與其他玩具經過回收、清洗、分類、配送等步驟，又重新回到了孩子們的手裡，玩具不僅化腐朽為神奇，發送給孩童更是兼具環保與愛心價值。

玩具醫生不只妙手回春，玩具銀行中的玩具車也持續送暖，未來玩具銀行將持續合作玩具醫生及玩具車，為偏鄉孩子送去歡笑與快樂。
