By Wang Hsiu-ting and Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe National Taitung Living Art Center on Wednesday next week is to host a charity sale of 150 canvas shoes hand painted by students, with proceeds going toward construction of a cancer center at Taitung Christian Hospital. The items were created by more than 120 students from National Taitung Girls’ Senior High School, National Taitung University and National Dong Hwa University in Hualien County, they said. Kang Yu-ting (康毓庭), an art teacher at National Taitung Girls’ Senior High School, launched the event in 2016. The event teaches students that their skills can be used to help others, Kang said. Construction of the cancer center is expected to be completed next year, with its opening scheduled for 2020 at the earliest, Taitung Christian Hospital said.
