Christian Mountain Children’s Home in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
On the morning of July 15th, Harrison traveled to the Children’s Home to deliver his message of hope.
This decades-old facility away from the city is also called the LiuKuei orphanage, which houses indigenous children, many coming from the Bunun Tribes. The orphanage became well-known throughout Taiwanese Families after Former President Chiang Ching-Kuo’s visit during the late 1970s.

Harrison visited the facility and greeted its owner, Zijiang Yang, who warmly welcomed the youth advocate promoting Taiwan’s indigenous culture internationally. Harrison handed Yang the total donation of NT$25,000 (approximately $1,000), who returned to Harrison with a certificate thanking him for his kind-heartedness in giving back to his community.

Harrison then interviewed some adolescents at the care home, Jin and Lin, about their childhood experiences. Many shared how Yang was kind and caring towards them, and they discovered their interests in various fields ranging from volleyball to nursery. Both expressed great passion for helping others in their community and paying the love forward.

While talking to Yang, he shared the history of care homes, how they came to be, and why cultural exchange events are essential for children. From his perspective, chasing after one’s passions is very important, and having these valuable opportunities opens the doors for many.
One of them is Endian Yang, who had severe disabilities in her arms and legs. Regardless, she grew up to become a great artist and demonstrated her talent in prisons and murals across Taiwan. Many were incredibly touched by her perseverance and dedication to what she cared about.
Harrison plans to turn footage and interviews from the trip into an upcoming documentary about “Lí-Haó, Taiwan.” He is also the co-founder of The Era, which has published over 50 articles on
World History and Taiwanese Culture and one magazine thus far. His road to advocating for his people’s culture and contributing to his community continues in the time ahead.
