TFT劉安婷 Anting Liu

為臺灣而教：一個決定可以改變一切One decision can change everything

2013年，劉安婷做出了決定。

她辭去工作，搬回臺灣，創立了TFT「為臺灣而教」這個非營利事業組織。 TFT的使命基於一個理念；所有孩子都應該擁有優質教育，即使他們並非身處於富裕地區。

這一點在臺灣非常重要，因為貧困地區的學校並沒有太多資源，且還面臨著更多師資缺乏的難處。

TFT努力填補缺□；他們透過招募、培訓頂尖大學暨背景多元的畢業生前往這些學校任教。

劉安婷的夢想是年輕人能站出來關懷自己的社區·而這個夢想正在實現中。

TFT已順利訓練超過兩百名教師，影響遍及全臺五千多名學子。

此外，劉安婷的名聲也傳揚開來。 她受邀參與極受大眾歡迎的TEDx演講，也寫了兩本關於自己生命旅程的書。

當她被問到自己所做過最困難的決定時．她給了一個令人驚訝的答覆。

她說，生活中做小決定所需要的勇氣就跟做大決定的一樣多；而，小小的改變卻可以帶來大大的成果。

In 2013, Liu made her decision. She quit her job, moved back to Taiwan and became the founder of the nonprofit organization Teach for Taiwan (TFT). TFT's mission is based on the idea that all children deserve an excellent education even if they don't live in wealthy areas. This is critical in Taiwan because schools in poor areas don't have a lot of resources, and they struggle with more teacher vacancies.

 TFT strives to fill the gap by recruiting and training graduates from top universities and diverse backgrounds to work in these schools.

Liu's dream of young people rising up to care for the needs of their own community is coming true. TFT has successfully trained more than 200 teachers, impacting over 5,000 students across Taiwan. Additionally, Liu's fame has spread. She has given a popular TEDx talk and has written two books about her journey. When asked about the hardest decision she has made, Liu gave a surprising answer. She said that making small decisions in life requires just as much courage as making big ones. And small changes can yield big results.
