Meet The Team
President
Jingde Hsia
Jingde Hsia, formerly a journalist for four years, a children's Chinese teacher for two years, and the founder of Cupcake Kids Art, possesses sixteen years of experience in children's art education. With a profound passion for endeavors related to children, she aspires to continue delving into the field of children's education. However, she proudly acknowledges her most outstanding role as a mother of a son with Down syndrome. Over the course of educating her son for twenty-one years, she has witnessed the needs of special families, fostering a sense of responsibility and a mission for special children's education. She made a vow to dedicate her years of educational experience and maternal love for special children to a lifelong commitment to serving special families.
Seven years ago, she initiated the Love Me Love Us organization, providing free one-on-one art camps for children with special needs. Recognizing the demand for sports, music, and academic assistance, Love Me Love Sports, Love Me Love Music, and Love Me Love Learning were born. With over a hundred free camps, parent workshops, and online courses to date, she sees this as just the beginning. She knows that Love Me Love Us has more to do, and she is committed to doing it better.
Her greatest dream is for Love Me Love Us to become a community that brings together special families. This community would not only provide mutual support and comfort but also allow individuals to feel the love of God among them, bringing hope to their lives.
Vice President
Hung-Jen Jin
As the Vice Chairman of "Love me Love us," my journey has been shaped by over two decades in the tech industry, complemented by a Master's degree in Computer Science and roles at AT&T and Microsoft.
My commitment to creating a positive impact on young lives took a significant turn during my tenure at YMCA. I contributed to aftercare programs that focused on providing a safe and enriching environment for children, including those with special needs.
Later, as the Center Director at Code Ninja, I continued to explore innovative ways to nurture and empower young hearts and minds. Now, with "Love me Love us," my focus is on creating an inclusive and loving environment for special needs children, where each child's unique strengths and abilities are celebrated.
Join me in our mission to foster love, inclusion, and empowerment. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of special needs children, creating a brighter and more supportive future.
