His grace gave us the strength to assist those in need throughout the world. This year, with your assistance, we completed many projects and, step-by- step, were able to unleash the power to transform lives. In 2011, the world experienced much suffering, which included the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that crippled local industry and injured or killed scores along Japan’s northeastern coast. Eastern Africa experienced the most severe drought in sixty years. A total of 13 million people were affected, while 500,000 children struggled on the edge of life and death. Both in Taiwan and abroad, problems caused by poverty still deeply impacted every needy child, their families, and even their entire community. Around the world, many children still face risks that we may not even yet be aware of…In this era, crises, whether caused by natural disasters or uneven distribution of resources, have become ever more frequent. Not just property and lives are affected. These unsettling events bring about fear and unease in the world and in people’s hearts, which also distresses and saddens us. With the commitment and love for the world that you and many other caring people in Taiwan share, we are better able to provide effective relief and care.

  • How to Provide Spiritual Care to Terminally Ill Patients
    How to Provide Spiritual Care to Terminally Ill Patients by Jeng-fong Chiou Board of Hospice Foundation of Taiwan Vice Superintendent of Taipei Medical University Hospital Dr. John Miller, who spends his entire life on dying well research, defined a “good death” as “dying without regrets and with a peaceful spiritual mind”. For a doctor who has cared for thousands of patients, Dr. Miller specifically endorsed the “spiritual” aspect of dying. Though the medical skills and equipment in Taiwan have advanced in recent years, not everyone can be assured of a good death. The key to this question, I believe, has to do with having a peaceful spiritual mind. The spirituality of people has many different aspects, each of which requires its fulfillment. However, as people grow older with more experience, their satisfaction will be different, too. If spiritual needs are not being satisfied, this will cause “spiritual distress”. Hence, spiritual gratification needs to be affirmed and reinforced until the very last second of people’s lives. Spiritual care is helping people fulfilling their spiritual needs by resolving their distresses and balancing their spirits. The oncology team from the Taipei Medical University Hospital has concluded the Five Aspects and Three Stages of spiritual care from their 17 years of consultation experience with terminally ill patients and their families. With this guide, the oncology team hopes to provide a general yet solid theory for clinical spiritual care professionals to further analyze and discuss the spiritual care process. Aspect 1: The Meaning of Life and Its Value Everyone wishes to find the meaning and value of their lives, and to understand the purpose behind all of this.

BRAISED PORK RICE (滷肉飯) A Taiwanese saying goes, "Where there is a wisp of smoke from the kitchen chimney, there will be lurou fan" (braised pork with rice). The popularity of this humble dish cannot be overstated. "Lurou fan" is synonymous with Taiwan. The Taipei city government launched a "braised pork rice is ours" campaign last year after Michelin’s Green Guide Taiwan claimed that the dish is from Shandong Province in mainland China. A good bowl of lurou fan has finely chopped, not quite minced, pork belly, slow-cooked in aromatic soy sauce with five spices. There should be an ample amount of fattiness, in which lies the magic. The meat is spooned over hot rice. A little sweet, a little salty, the braised pork rice is comfort food perfected.

Beef noodle soup is a dish that inspires competitiveness and innovation in chefs. Everyone wants to claim the title of beef noodle king. From visiting Niu Ba Ba for one of the most expensive bowls of beef noodle soup in the world (TW$10,000, or US$334) to a serendipitous duck into the first makeshift noodle shack that you spot, it's almost impossible to have a bad beef noodle experience in Taiwan. Lin Dong Fang's beef shanks with al dente noodles in a herbal soup are a perennial favorite.
