A junior high school in Hsinchu is noted for its devotion to inclusive education for the past 20 years. Earlier this year, it even gets a presidential visit for its success in breaking down barriers between general and special educations.

But now the school is facing a financial problem. Due to budget issues, it may have to cancel the inclusion program very soon.

At the top of the classroom, it's like a small farm, where two ducks and hens are raised and sweet potatoes and vegetables are grown.

At age 14, 16 kids are studying in the inclusive class.

While some require special attention, some are just normal kids full of creativity.

A couple months ago, this inclusive class took part in a choir competition and won the third place.

The teacher Wu Shu-mei made a documentary film about them, called "Listen to Angels singing."

On the day of the competition, the kids were a bit shy but their voices are so wonderful.

Although the inclusive class teaches children to be considerate and grateful, such form of education is encountering obstacles in Taiwan.

Due to insufficient budget, the three inclusive classes in the junior high school may face shutdown in the near future.

Despite not knowing their future, the kids are still full of hope and courage.
