Hualien County Ganggu Elementary School─Hakuna Matata Passionate Golden Beef

The passionate African drum (Jinbei drum) has the magic power to shock people's hearts. After the guidance and explanation of the tribal artist Sun Dafu, the children got to know the culture of the country and people on the other side of the earth through the study of music.

Fortunately, this semester we have a music teacher who has been studying African drums in West Africa for 13 years - Teacher Sun Dafu. Teacher Sun shared that when he was young, he heard African drum playing on the street and was deeply attracted. Therefore, he started his career plan of learning African drum across the sea for more than ten years. While studying in Africa, the teacher also held a cross-border fund-raising event called "Wells Come Together" to help local residents build wells. He used African drum performances to raise funds for well-building for the tribesmen in West Africa. After the event, , a total of more than 80 wells were built in West Africa, which helped local people have cleaner water to drink and greatly improved the lives of local people.

In order to let children know more about West Africa, we planned the animated film "The Lion King" to let children know more about the stories that happened on the West African savannah. In the movie story, Simba, a young lion, disobeyed his father, which put his father in danger and was killed. Later, he was framed by evil people and left the tribe. In the story, Simba learned a lesson, fled to a different place, started a new life, and endured many hardships. Fortunately, he had the help of good friends in the process. At the end of the story, all misunderstandings are resolved, and Simba returns to the prairie and becomes the new leader of the prairie.

We hope that through this cross-field course design, we will not only learn about African music, but also learn about the operation of international care work and the vision of humanitarian care, cultivate spontaneous love and broadmindedness, and develop the spirit of great love where people are hungry and others are hungry, and others are drowning. Keep the world in mind, learn positive courage and attitude, and take the initiative to help people in need around the world.
