The first life changing experience he has ever had in Taiwan, Kian Ann.

Hi, my name is Afron Ngan. I’m the EP for AIESEC LC UPM. I get matched in May of 2012 by a project called Taiwan Farm Fun Taiwan. Obviously the country that I will heading to is Taiwan. Is my dream to go to Taiwan as during childhood I always watch Taiwan show, their foods is awesome! Every time I just get to watch on the TV but couldn’t have a chance to taste it. But now I got it;) But is just not simple as that. I chosen this project is because FARM this word. Farm is really new for me as I never try before. We all know that to be a farmer is very tough, work hard everyday under the hot sun. But they play an important role in our life. If we doesn’t have farmer, where can we find our food, vegetables. How can we stay healthy!! That the purpose why I choose this project. Try to be a farmer. And yes. I been arrange to a leisure farm called SHINNAN. There are famous in strawberry, pumpkin and honeydew. The people there all are very kind. And we as international volunteer, get two partner from Taiwan local university which will be help and guide us throughout the way, so we won’t feel lost. And I get two cutie girls. One is Amy and another is Elaine. Both of them help us so much;) Throughout this programme I get to know the difference between GCDP and travel. By through this programme, we are on Taiwan newspaper and also their top sales magazine called “ YI ZOU KAN” During the first conference we went, they organize a global village for us to showcase our country. That why we are on newspaper;) Secondly, my leisure farm are so famous that publish in the magazine;) And I was called to be the model. This is one of the impact that I make. Besides, I do help the leisure farm to improve their farm and business by design out creative product, making blogspot and promote through social media. Other than that, we do make some environment construction in the farmJ The most important part is I become a English teacher which taught the kids in the farm to speak English. They are shy and because is rural area, their English is poor. That the reason why I’m here, to encourage them to speak English more;) And I did that;) I’m proud of it. In this semester break, most of my friends choose to find part time job to earn some money, but I different with them;) I spend my two months exploring something new, gain knowledge, meet more friends, and also cultural exchange. I don’t regret for it, instead, I will take GCDP again.

It changed my whole life, I will miss it a lot.
