Taiwan

In Taiwan there is a Sathya Sai Kindergarten and 2 Sai Baba Centres.

The first Sai Centre was started in 1980. Bhajans are now held once a week at both the Sai Centres and all major festivals are celebrated. Bhajan training and Veda chanting classes are conducted. Regular study circles and youth group meetings are also held. Bal Vikas (SSE) classes are held once a week in the Sai Centre.

Seva activities include visits to a home for the aged, visits to a home for physically and mentally challenged children, blood donation drives, participating in charity bazaars organised by the home for the physically and mentally challenged children in Pali, and an annual seva at the Taoyaun Reformatory school.

A two monthly English newsletter “Sharanam” and a weekly newsletter “The Journey within with Sai” goes out by email. Additionally, short messages of Baba are translated daily into Chinese and sent out also by email.

The birthday of Baba and the anniversary of SSEHV in Taiwan is celebrated with a public programme every year.

The Sathya Sai Kindergarten started in a parking lot under a tree in 1997 and subsequently moved into proper premises. Currently, classes are held Monday to Friday. Students then attend the weekend SSEHV classes which are held every Friday and Saturday in the Chinese Sai Centre.

Numerous SSEHV teacher-training seminars have been held over the years and many local school teachers have successfully completed the training. Presently, in addition to the above classes, SSEHV classes are held in local schools. Additionally, EHV study circle for teachers and parents and SSEHV workshops to train EHV volunteers are held regularly. The Sai Centre runs a special seva to assist needy children with their homework.

A quarterly SSEHV newsletter goes out to local Chinese teachers, volunteers and EHV workers.
