❤AIT日前很榮幸能拜訪關愛之家 台灣關愛基金會新成立的「南港關愛之子家園 」。自從2003年成立以來，台灣關愛之家協會在創辦人楊婕妤及工作人員堅持不懈的努力下，協助安置與照護無處可去的愛滋感染者、外籍移工和無國籍寶寶，為他們提供溫暖安全的避風港。AIT政治官黃光杰和關愛之家工作人員討論了如何為社會邊緣人士提供援助，包括潛在人口販運受害者；雙方也討論了如何持續倡導平等對待和尊重所有人的尊嚴。楊婕妤曾參與美國國務院全球領袖人才參訪計畫 (IVLP)，本計畫旨在促進美國與國際專業人士在各項共享價值及政策目標上進行交流並建立夥伴關係。#IVLP #humantrafficking
❤Harmony Home Founder Nicole Yang (楊婕妤) welcomed AIT to visit their newest children’s shelter in Nangang, Taipei. Through her tireless efforts since founding the organization in 2003, Harmony Home has grown to provide counseling and residential services for dozens of children and adults facing discrimination or with special needs, including those whose parents are migrant workers or who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. AIT Political Officer Jason Hwang and Harmony Home staff discussed their assistance to marginalized populations, including persons vulnerable to human trafficking, and continued advocacy for the equal treatment and respect for the dignity of all human beings. Ms. Yang is a proud alumni of the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), which fosters professional exchanges and builds relationships with U.S. experts on a range of shared values and other policy priorities.
