¡@¡@Jen-Ai Hospital - Dali held their
first "Little Prince & Little Princess" competition on the
Internet through their bilingual website (http://www.jah.org.tw/babyweb.asp).
The competition was fierce and there was a lot of support from
the Internet users. The Prince (Wei-hsiang Hsu) and Princess
(Chian-hui Cheng) were selected on March 13th 2004. Also, a
Canadian infant was selected as the "Little Ambassador". Jen-Ai
Hospital - Dali held a grand coronation for the new Prince, Princess
and the Little Ambassador. Their cute looks were as popular
as the candidates in a beauty contest.
¡@¡@Since the introduction of the Baby Web by Jen-Ai Hospital - Dali last year, it has won immerse praise from the public. The
website provides complimentary online photos of newly born infants
with words from their parents so that relatives around the world
can see the infants and share the joy of the newborn via the
Internet. To select the most popular infant, Jen-Ai Hospital - Dali held the first "Little Prince & Little Princess" competition
on the Internet. All infants on the Baby Web qualified as candidates.
¡@¡@As the infants were very cute, the competition attracted a
lot of enthusiastic response through the Internet. In two months,
hundreds of people from all over Taiwan, some even in other
countries (the U.S., Canada, England, Australia, Japan, Korea,
Hong Kong, Philippines) voted. One rule was made very clear,
one vote per person; thus, the competition became very intense.
At the end of the competition, Wei-hsiang Hsu was voted the
Prince among 137 candidates who participated, and Chian-hui
Cheng was voted the Princess. Kye Waldron (half Taiwanese and
half Canadian) was voted the Little Ambassador from voters of
seven countries. During the coronation, hospital superintendent
Ming-Yi Chan-Liao crowned the Little Prince and Princess, and
presented the Jen-Ai Passport to the Little Ambassador. Superintendent
Chan-Liao wished every infant good health and the Baby Web to
grow and provide more services to more parents and infants.
¡@¡@Jen-Ai Hospital - Dali invited all members of the Baby Web
to the hospital for games and activities. Parents and infants
had to complete puzzles together; fathers had to help their
infants put on their diapers. The whole morning was filled with
laughter. The hospital also held their monthly flea market,
and donated all the proceeds to the Jen-Ai Foundation to help
low-income families and minority groups. Other activities included:
JAH Infertility Lab Q&A, complimentary ultrasound check-ups,
vaccines for children, an International food fair kindly organized
by the ladies from IWAT. The sponsors included IWAT, Johnson
& Johnson, Discovery Cordblood Bank, BioNet Corp., and McDonald's
GuoGuang branch.
¡@¡@Jen-Ai Hospital - Dali: The Baby Web will provide more information,
services and functions in the future, news images, and improve
the video equipment. Music in the form of lullabies for infants
will also be developed on CD. There will also be a virtual tour
of the VIP wards and the delivery center, digital photo display,
and a website for children. The hospital will work together
with manufacturers of infant supplies, other hospitals, and
medical centers to provide more and better services.
