200 people assist elementary school students in Taijiang realize community dream

Cooperating to form a formidable 200-person workforce, Taijiang Branch of Tainan Community University (台南社大台江分校), Hai-wei Tsao-Huang Temple (海尾朝皇宮), 50 volunteers from Gongqin Village, and the teachers and students from three schools – Andian Elementary School (安佃國小), Ying-hai High School (瀛海中學及) and Ho Shun Junior High School (和順國中) – have jointly helped the young students of Chang-an Elementary School realize their dream. The children put forward a proposal entitled “Gongqin Village Irrigation Canal Mural”(彩繪公親寮水圳故事牆), calling on everyone to come together and protect Taijiang river. Taijiang Branch of Tainan Community University said that in 2014, the community of teachers and students at Chang-an Elementary School proposed “Water, Water, Chang-an” as part of a humanities case study of Taijiang catchment basin.

In the hope that a mural might raise awareness about the irrigation canal and help protect Taijiang catchment basin, the children researched the culture of Gongqin Village Irrigation Canal (公親寮拜溪墘) and collated stories about it as part of a small project. One of the students at Changan Elementary School, Wen Shi-ya (翁詩雅), said that the riverbank used to be a dull place, the road splattered with betel nut juice, and the area littered with cigarette butts, etc. It is hoped that in the future people will attach more importance to the environment and help beautify it, and that the levee walls skirting the Zengwun River watershed and Hai-Liao branch will also be gradually painted.

台江小學生的公民實踐，兩百人幫忙圓夢

台南社大台江分校、海尾朝皇宮、公親里志工五十多人，一起協力，聯合安佃國小、瀛海中學及和順國中三校親師生，二百多人一起幫忙長安國小小朋友，實現「彩繪公親寮水圳故事牆」小論文提案，呼籲大家一起來守護台江河川。社大台江分校表示，這項是由長安國小「水水長安」社師生，在2014年台江流域專題研究人文營所提出，小朋友踏查公親寮拜溪墘文化，以及水圳生活故事，完成小論文，希望透過水圳彩繪，讓更多人親近水圳，一起關心台江河川環境。提案者之一的長安國小學生翁詩雅表示，因為當時覺得堤岸單調，馬路上都會有檳榔汁、菸蒂等等，希望大家能夠更重視這裡的環境，美化環境，未來也可以將曾文溪排水線以及海寮分線的堤岸逐步完成彩繪。
