The Mustard Seed Mission stated today that the Sun Li-lien Memorial Camp in Wanli District, New Taipei City, has transitioned into a Social Enterprise Institute. The facility empowers caregivers to learn skills in catering, frozen food processing, and handicrafts, creating job opportunities to help families balance caregiving and economic needs for self-reliance.
Founded in 1965 by Lillian Dickson, the camp originally provided a natural space for impoverished and orphaned children. Over 60 years, it has witnessed many life transformations. Facing modern parenting pressures, the mission recently hosted a family carnival to strengthen bonds between foster families.
Chairman Cai Rensong noted that caregivers face long-term stress which can unbalance family support systems. The initiative focuses on these pressures, continuing the mission's 60-year legacy of aid through陪伴 and practical support.
One caregiver, 'Xiao Qi,' shared how the mission's support and training helped her stabilize her life while caring for her child.
The mission concluded that the Wanli site now operates as a social enterprise, enabling caregivers to move toward independence by relying on their own skills in the catering and handicraft sectors.
