After Taiwan has increased the COVID vaccination rate gradually while most Taiwanese people are very cautious about the epidemic, we have returned to normal life step by step. Because Jonah House is a big house where takes care of children 24 hours, all the staff as well as our teenagers have been vaccinated. Schools started in September in Taiwan. Therefore, most of the school aged children have returned to school as normal.
However, we still need maintain the most basic of epidemic prevention, for example, washing hands and wearing masks. At the present stage, Jonah House still has visitor control. Furthermore, the social workers have to meet cases in other places outside.
People in the world are trying to get adapted to the inconvenience caused by the epidemic of COVID-19, and the challenge has not yet ended. Even with the difficulties, Cathwel still keeps working hard for the children in need. We pray for the world!

Since COVID-19 outbreak in mid-May in Taiwan, people have experienced the epidemic alert raised to level 3 for the first time. The government announced many restrictions and measures, including wearing mask in public, encouraging work from home, closure of schools and public venues and only take-out service of most restaurants…etc. It has impacted our life deeply.
Students in Taiwan have been studying online at home since two months ago. It was not easy for Jonah House because we needed improve the facilities and internet speed immediately to provide all the school-aged children to use at the same time. The caregivers needed to schedule daily study for the children so that they could follow regularly. The children could only exercise at home by turns while they couldn’t go out…All the works of Cathwel Service, including adoption become more difficult currently.
We believe many people worldwide are fighting the virus, too. May God bless everyone !

Preciously ordinary day

Time to play
Although the threat of virus didn’t reduce in year of 2021, the children at Jonah House had daily lives safely. We appreciate people who still supported Jonah House even in this crisis. Thank you for watching these children.
Jonah House also implemented isolation and triage measures in our buildings as being necessary according to the government’s policy and monitoring on the spread of COVID-19 in Taiwan, which resulted in lack of access. For the children and staff at Jonah House, it was more inconvenient. However, it ensured everyone safe and reduced the risk of getting infected as well.
Currently, the isolation and triage in the buildings of Jonah House has been lifted. The children played happily at the court outdoors. It was not only an ordinary day but also a precious day. We pray for the world and look forward to ordinary lives for all our friends!
