New Home, New Hope
On the moutain in Sanxia of Taipei County, you'll be able to locate this shipping container, the home of a brother and a sister who have been supporting themselves by planting luffas and selling it as sponges.
Their touching story has been widely spread on the Internet, and now, many are starting a campaign to repaint and revamp their so-called home.
More than a year ago, the story of a brother and sister who live in a shipping container in a mountain in Sanxia, surprised the public.
Yungcheng and Jiachien lost their father long ago and their mother is working out-of-town to make money.
Few years ago, the two kids moved to the mountain and have been raised by their grandfather.
Many people are touched by their story and some Internet users recruited 40 volunteers to color pain the shipping container into a fairy tale house.
The two kids are members of the silk gourd growing team of Youmu elementary school in Sanxia.
All the team members are from financially disadvantaged families and each of them can make NT$200 by growing silk gourd and selling loofah sponge.
The small farm is where their dreams are nurtured.
With people's blessing, the brother and sister will live their lives bravely.
