I. Introduction
The standard of living of general public of Taiwanese has increased exponentially since WWII. However, it remained very low for Aborigines due to the lack of job opporutnities
In order to improve their standards of living, we propose to develop an Agricultural organic farming program for Taiwanese Abiogenies where they can gain professional assistance to grow Organic Agricultural products.
II. Condition
Taiwanese Aborigines live in mountainous region of East Taiwan with farms relatively isolated from other farms, where we considered an ideal place to grow and produce Organic Vegetable, etc.,

- Execution & Marketing : Bunun Cultural and educational Foundation of Taiwan, An Aborigines institute.
- Management : Wellbrook Foundation, New York, USA, also on volunteer basis
IV. Potential Sources of Funds
The program requires a minimum funding of 150,000

(2) Wellbrook foundation will provide workshop to train concerned aborigines in the following area: a) Organic farming technique; b) Small business management; c) Home economic and financial literacy; c) Promotion of healthy living
