Who are the TRENA founding members and what are our goals? The members or participants are renewable energy developers of offshore wind (such as rsted, CIP, WPD, etc.) and solar energy, NGOs, academics, and colleagues from Taiwanese think tanks. They came from different backgrounds, but they all had a common goal: that renewables in Taiwan could develop early on, and our English name: "Taiwan Renewable Energy Alliance (inspired by the International Renewable Energy Alliance). Our goals are "to create a positive and supportive environment for renewable energies in Taiwan", in detail this means to create a platform for the exchange of knowledge for citizens so that they better understand renewables and their benefits, more closely with the government to improve the regulatory environment or To work together to create new laws, and to support educational tasks on renewable energy with full force and to actively promote civic engagement in renewable energies (for example energy municipalities) ... and more. How can an NGO play an important role in the energy transition? Through cooperation with congress and legislators, we have promoted the formulation of renewable energy-related bills to make them more friendly to the development of renewable energy, and established partnerships with environmental NGOs, and commit to green energy public welfare projects to promote Taiwan's vision of jointly supporting Taiwan's energy transition.
Guide dogs are a type of working dog that not only provide practical daily assistance to people with visual impairments, but also enrich their social lives and serve as warm, loyal companions. With the help of guide dogs, public awareness and understanding of the needs and well-being of the vis-ually impaired have significantly increased. In this way, guide dogs become both a bridge and goodwill ambassadors between the visually impaired community and the general public. Huikuang Guide Dog School is the first certified guide dog training organi-zation in Taiwan. The name "Huikuang" symbolizes the belief that guide dogs are a ray of light bestowed upon visually impaired individuals. Since its founding, the school has upheld the principle of animal welfare at its core, dedicating itself to the local breeding and training of guide dogs. It ac-tively collaborates with both domestic and international professional insti-tutions and continues to develop training techniques and programs tailored to Taiwan's specific needs and environment. In addition, Huikuang offers comprehensive follow-up support and services to ensure that visually im-paired individuals can work confidently and safely with their guide dogs. Due to limitations in orientation and mobility, visually impaired people face significant challenges in daily life, education, and employment. Being matched with a guide dog can greatly enhance their safety, mobility, and in-dependence. It also increases their opportunities to engage with society, ex-pand their social circles, and helps raise public awareness and compassion for the visually impaired community. Huikuang is driven by a mission of service, providing guide dogs free of charge to people with visual impairments. However, the pace of training guide dogs is limited by insufficient funding and a shortage of foster families. We need more people to join and support the guide dog training program, so that individuals with visual impairments can have the opportunity and choice to step out into the world with greater independence. At the same time, Huikuang continues to advocate for supportive laws and policies, striving to create a friendly and inclusive environment for both guide dog users and the visually impaired community.
