The foundation also arranged for Jimmy to go on a three-month tour among Aboriginal villages in Pingtung County. And lantern maker Tomas of Mexico took his skills to the outlying island of Matsu, where he contributed a note of foreign inspiration to the Lantern Festival.
不僅如此，Jimmy 更在基金會安排下巡迴屏東二十多個部落，整整 3 個月都在原鄉工作；而指導燈籠製作的墨西哥藝術家 Tomas，則是帶著一身本領遠征離島馬祖，要讓馬祖的元宵燈籠有異文化的刺激。
