▎In our desire to be grateful and repaying the many benefits we have received in Taiwan, ANTOR engaged in charity works by joining the visit to the earthquake areas in Central Taiwan organized by the ROC Tourism Bureau, and donating proceeds of a charity bazaar to the St. Colleta’s Traning Center for the handicapped whose building was partially destroyed by the earthquake.
