In northern Taiwan’s Wanli Homeless Rehabilitation Center, each resident has a customized set of daily tasks. The centre provides a wide range of specialized job training courses and residents, who depending on life experience and technical ability, are assigned to an appropriate group to work in. There is a diverse selection of classes including crash courses in both cooking and horticulture giving residents a chance to get back into a more routine and normal life.
One example is Mr Chen, who is the team leader of the horticultural class, and a guide to many of the residents at the center. He has also, with his added ability in carpentry, taken a once wild and forsaken piece of land behind the center and transformed it into a paradise full of fragrant herbs. The center is not only a place for homeless people to learn new skills, but also provides a place for them to reconnect with society and to find new direction and goals in life.

遊民重建中心─優遊之家(公民記者 淡江大傳(TKTV) 報導)
在北縣萬里遊民重建中心裡，遊民朋友們每天都有專屬的工作，中心裡開設許多職業的訓練課程，依照個人的生活技能和興趣進行分班。例如烹飪、植物栽種、巧手速成班，多元化的課程，也讓遊民朋友們有比較正常規律的生活。例如陳大哥，他是重建中心裡農耕班的班長，擁有一身優秀的木工技能，他帶領著其他夥伴，把原本是雜草叢生的後山，改造成環境優美的香草花園。重建中心不只幫助遊民學習一技之長，重新跟社會接觸，也讓大家的生命有了新的目標，找到了全新的人生方向。
