Dulan, Taiwan

The typhoon that hit the Easy Coast of Taiwan this summer, left several miles of driftwood on the shorelines. Indigenous people here are gathering the wood to make furniture, as well as to re-build their homes that were destroyed during the typhoon. There are still many villages that are being re-built, and there are many homeless people, mainly in the mountains along the East Coast. It is incredible how resilient the people here are. This young man is making his living from working in an artists' collective, and he goes fishing daily to contribute to the collective and help keep everyone fed on local and sustainable food systems.
