Xiaolin renaissance series

In 2009, Typhoon Morakot wrought destruction and took an unimaginable human toll on Xiaolin Village in Jiaxian Township, Kaohsiung County. Following the disaster three new villages were built to house the families: 66 families in Da Ai Village, Shan Lin District(杉林月眉慈濟大愛園), 89 families in Xiaolin Village Wulipu(小林村五里埔) and 120 families in Riguang Village (杉林小林二村(日光小村). With the aim of strengthening the cultural element within the Pingpu Tribe, on completion of these permanent housing villages, the Ministry of Culture began promoting the Post Morakot Permanent Housing Culture Program (莫拉克颱風後永久屋基地文化種子培訓計劃).

The residents of Riguang Village are not only trying to walk out from under the shadow of the Morakot disaster, but also working hard to find a new ways of making a living. To do this the Council of Labor Affairs has divided the villagers into four working groups: handmade soap group, baking group, carpentry group and Chinese cooking group. The skills and training given in these areas are not only helping villagers to heal old wounds and providing them with a livelihood, but have also removed the need of villagers to leave their loved ones due to a lack of job opportunities. These efforts make the resurgence of this village culture a real possibility. On 24 December 2011, the completion date of their new homes, villagers formed a dance troupe and performed for the celebrations. Originally, they had only expected the troupe to be a short term, but after continual invitations from various parties, they decided to make it a long-term affair, and have been dancing ever since.

在2009年八八風災裡，高雄甲仙的小林村傷亡慘重，災後分三地重建永久屋：杉林月眉慈濟大愛園區66戶、小林一村五里埔基地89戶、杉林小林二村(日光小村)120戶。永久屋重建後，當時的文建會推動「莫拉克颱風後永久屋基地文化種子培訓計劃」，訓練小林村民以在地的素材，重現平埔族文化元素。居住在日光小林的村民除努力走出傷痛外，日常生活的產業也必需積極重建，目前在勞委會的協助下共分成四個工作組：手工皂組、烘焙組、木工組及中餐組，學習相關製作技術。

村民在工作中療癒，同時也獲得基本的經濟基礎，最重要的是，不需因為缺少工作機會被迫離開親人聚集的村落，讓小林文化有重新再起的可能。而日光小林於2011.12.24落成啟用，村民組成的「大滿舞團」原本只是在入厝典禮時演唱二首歌曲，之後因幾個單位的表演邀約，村民持續練舞而成常態舞團，目前也有部份大愛園區及小林一村的村民加入舞團。
