  • Taiwanese Singer Embarks On Charity Mission To Armenia

    TAIWANESE SINGER EMBARKS ON CHARITY MISSION TO ARMENIA

    Taipei, April 29 (CNA) Taiwanese singer-songwriter William Wei
    embarked on a trip to Armenia Monday to promote a World Vision Taiwan
    coin bank that collects donations for children in need.

    Wei, accompanied by six Taiwanese child and youth volunteers, will
    stay in the Western Asian country until May 6, during which he will
    meet and interact with local children, including a 6-year-old Armenian
    child he has been sponsoring, World Vision Taiwan said Monday.

    The singer will give gifts, including a guitar, to his sponsored
    child and will also perform, the charity said.

    The coin bank has been designed by the charity to look like a loaf
    of bread.

    In an online video, the singer called on the Taiwanese public to each
    save NT$25 (US$0.84) a day, or NT$700 a month, in the coin banks and
    to send the money to the charity to sponsor a child.

    "Don't underestimate the coins in your hands," Wei said, adding that
    a small amount of money can make a big difference.

    Donors can sponsor a child in Taiwan for NT$700 per month, or a child
    overseas for NT$1,000 per month, according to World Vision Taiwan.
