The new entry restrictions and the sudden rise in COVID-19 cases in Taiwan have led us to make the difficult decision to postpone this summer’s service trip. Though the Level 3 alert and entry restrictions will only last through June 14th and June 18th respectively, the latest situation in Taiwan has already delayed our planning progress.

The safety of our members and families will always come first, and as such, we do not believe the in-person, interactive, and sizable nature of our program can or should exist alongside the current state of community pandemic mitigation in Taiwan, even with a 100% vaccination rate amongst our members and staff.

We know this is disappointing to hear. We will do everything we can to help Connexpedition 2021 members participate in other WCEO volunteer activities. Plus, just like last year, we will also reverse the order of our program. Members may choose to teach students online from October 2021 through May 2022 and then participate in the service trip next summer. Members, please refer to our latest email for more information.

To all our members and families, we thank you again for your understanding as we navigate through these unexpected circumstances. As always, please feel free to send us an email if you have any questions or concerns and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
