About Me

What is Basic Aid? Basic Aid is a two day charity concert being held on May 31st/June 1st at the beautiful natural venue Step Out Adbenture Mountain in Puli,Taiwan. This fundraiser has two missions: To give to Basic Human Needs - an organization in Varanasi, India, run by two former Taichung expats who have been giving hope to underprivileged children through their school and orphanage. It is for a great cause. To learn more about Basic Human Needs go to: www.basichumanneeds.netThis year Basic Aid will also be working closely with Taiwanese Aboriginal organizations.
