Volunteer Abroad Program in Taiwan?

Volunteer Abroad Program in Taiwan?
Does anyone know of a good volunteer abroad program in Taiwan? for a high school student? I can't seem to find any online. What my friend(s) and I wish to do is find a good volunteer abroad program in Taiwan so we can help teach english to young children or anything else necessary. We're all minors between the ages of 16 and 17. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Professional teachers in Taiwan usually have a degree and a TEFL certificate. If you go there as a volunteer this means that you are underqualified and - effectively - taking work away from a proper teacher. Meanwhile in a lot of cases the class you are teaching have paid in full for an English teacher. This is an unfortunate situation but in many, many cases volunteer placements are a money making exercise for the business which arranges them. If you want o volunteer, look for something local to you where you will do some good - teaching English to immigrants or refugees, for example.

how much is the cost of living in Tainan, Taiwan?

how much is the cost of living in Tainan, Taiwan?
international student in Southern Taiwan University @ We Never Left: can you give me a rough estimate on that (I am referring to my previous question about living expenses in Taiwan)? My scholarship grant waived tuition & monthly dorm fees, so that will be excluded to the budget. However, I am not certain about insurances & visa application, or whatever dues that I will be compelled to do so. Merely, my concerns are food (in & out of the campus), transport, books, laptop/notebook (should I buy one there or better to bring one? which is more expensive?). Those are my concerns by far.. Thank you.

If you avoid expensive purchases, you can easily get by on US$1000 per month.

This will be my first trip to Taiwan. I am a college student in the United States, and am fluent in Mandarin Chinese so language is not a problem. I plan to visit for a week sometime after Christmas and over the New Year, and hope to catch the festive season celebrations. I would like some information about cheap and good hostels in Taipei, and how much I should budget for a week's holiday. Thanks!

Needs help for a research paper about Homosexuality?

Needs help for a research paper about Homosexuality?
Hi there. I am a college student studying in Taiwan. I am right now doing this research paper about Bible vs. Homosexuality, and I want to know if there's any way that I can find any information online about heterosexual Christians, especially biblical scholars who are willing to stand up and speak for the gay people/ community, about their rights and everything? Any links or books or articles that I can find online would be very appreciated. Thanks for the help and answering the questions.
