Thirteen Taiwanese university students have set out for Cambodia for charity work.

The students left Taiwan on Sunday morning. They are expected to meet with NGOs in Cambodia and visit four children's homes there. The students will interact with Cambodian children through art classes and games. The students will also bring the children food, toys and stationery.

One of the student volunteers is Liu Hsun-hsi. Liu's home was damaged by Typhoon Morakot which pounded southern Taiwan last year. Liu said she knows that while helping others, she also needs to be sensitive about how those who are helped feel.

The students are scheduled to return to Taiwan on August 26.
