The visit to Baiwan has always turned out to be an extremely rewarding experience for IS students. The following are some comments written by Group 2008 at the end of the trip:

• I cannot speak a word of Chinese but they liked the idea of practising their English on me.
• What strikes me greatly is the fact that many Baiwan children still look happy, even though my shocking living conditions are probably a lot better than what they have.
• This empty, isolated village has filled my heart with love that I’ve never experienced before .
• She is one of the most generous people I have ever met .
• Grief” doesn’t quite cover it, “sad” is simply too simple, but that feeling I got is an imperfect reflection of both words put together.
