Here, the parents work far away and do not have the means to take care of their children. Therefore, Ms. Yen's biggest concern is how to improve the physical strength of the children to help them have better learning conditions. She boldly asked for opinions from the locality and the district's Department of Education and Training, focused on propaganda, and mobilized all resources to repair and supplement the facilities to ensure a semi-boarding kitchen for 300 students.
