A Warm Home for Indonesian People in Taiwan 

Rumah Hangat Bagi Sahabat Indonesia 

Current President: Ms. Liang Xuewen 

The saying "It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people" is a mission that resonates deeply with educators. Through education, one can transform an individual's life and shape a hopeful future. For a better future, approximately 270,000 migrant workers have come to Taiwan, this beautiful island. Whether male or female, these migrant workers come to improve the lives of themselves and their families. Many migrant workers, especially those who are parents, endure years of homesickness and struggle in a foreign land, all for the sake of providing their children with the opportunity to receive a complete education. Education is the key to improving their children's quality of life, giving them the chance to pursue and achieve their dreams. Our association plays a role in facilitating cultural exchange among this group of migrant workers. Despite their different nationalities, we share the same courage to improve our quality of life and pursue our dreams. Caring for the mental and physical well-being of migrant workers has always been our long-term goal, and we will continue this mission going forward. We look forward to working together to support these migrant workers who quietly dedicate their strength and labor in their workplaces.

Founder and First President: Dr. Timothy Fu

Dr. Fu, who came to Taiwan to study at the age of 17, experienced the difficulties of not speaking a word of Mandarin and having to work various jobs to support herself when she first arrived in Taiwan. With her empathy as someone who has been through such challenges, she has been dedicated to helping and caring for Indonesian students and migrant workers in Taiwan.

Second President: Ms. Wang Zuojun

Having lived in the United States when she was younger, Ms. Wang developed a deep love for music and the arts. More importantly, she cultivated a heart full of compassion for others. Understanding the difficulties of living in a foreign land, she decided to return to Taiwan. Over the years, she has accompanied Indonesian sisters (caregivers) in Taiwan, listened to their stories, and organized Indonesian-related festive events, making them feel loved and supported. She also hopes that Taiwan will be an island with a rich diversity of cultures.

Executive Director: Ms. Sandy Li

For the many Indonesian migrant workers who leave their homeland, they work in Taiwan for 3 to 14 years, contributing their physical strength, labor, and the most precious years of their youth. They have worked diligently and quietly in communities, households, factories, and various fields. Yet, due to language barriers, time constraints, and the lack of platforms, they have become a relatively vulnerable group in Taiwan. However, the enthusiasm, simplicity, and innate talents of the island's indigenous people should not be overlooked merely because of their work roles. With this in mind, our association (GICA) aims to meet the communication needs of Indonesian migrant workers, as well as their needs for cultural care and support in Taiwan. Through audiovisual and self-media communication, we strive to eliminate societal stereotypes about migrant workers' cultures, reduce the cultural impact between Taiwan and Indonesia, correct public perceptions, and promote a more diverse, inclusive, and respectful society in Taiwan.
