The “good news” bird spreading love in the village

文字-A A +A

According to an ancient Tsou legend, before families receive good news, the hoot of an owl will always be heard nearby; hence, the owl became a symbolic bearer of good news for the Tsou people. Huashan Social Welfare Foundation, which provides emotional support and practical assistance to disadvantaged seniors living alone in the mountains, recently held a "good-news owl activity."

For the event, a team from the Alishan branch of the Huashan Foundation, which has been caring for seniors of the Tsou tribe for 18 years, arrived at the Seniors Cultural and Entertainment Activity Center in Leyeh Village, where volunteers and community elders were invited to make a good-news owl bonsai.

Due to the vast size of Alishan, the main problem facing seniors living in the mountains is getting out of the house. Huashan Foundation hopes to address this issue through organizing other similar activities and continuing to spread love within the district, ensuring that seniors living in the mountains can enjoy a happy life too.

在古鄒族傳說中,當家有喜事發生前,貓頭鷹會在附近鳴叫,於是貓頭鷹就變成了鄒族報喜鳥。華山基金會為了帶給深山獨居弱勢長者心靈支持與到宅服務,於是舉辦了報喜鳥活動。

 

華山基金會阿里山站關懷鄒族部落老人活動,已經來到了第十八個年頭,這次特別到樂野村老人文康活動中心,邀請平日受服務的長者、義工及社區長輩一起製作報喜鳥盆栽。

 

因為阿里山的地幅非常廣闊,住在深山的長輩所面臨最大的問題就是從家裡走出,期望透過類似像報喜鳥盆栽的活動,傳遞更多愛的種子,讓住在深山裡的阿公阿嬤們都能有快樂的人生。
