My connection to Machik's Summer Enrichment Program

MEET THE CP
About Me: In the summer of 2006, I volunteered for the first time as an English teacher at the Chungba Primary School. What struck me immediately about the Chungba students was their work ethic. For them, receiving an education was a priceless opportunity and they cherished being at school. Now, five years after that first summer in Chungba, my connection to the Chungba students has only grown stronger. Through various fundraising projects I hope to provide them with opportunities which they more than deserve!
PROJECT SUMMARY
Machik's Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) is a unique enrichment program that offers Tibetan students from Chungba and other Tibetan rural areas a dynamic and stimulating learning environment for four weeks every summer. This one-of-a-kind program is a key part of Machik's success in its community-based education initiative in Chungba. Drawing on volunteers both from around the world and from urban areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and even Lhasa, the SEP has brought new languages, new resources and new technologies to rural Tibetan students since 2002. Your support of the 2011 SEP will allow Machik to continue to offer this unique and valuable experience for Tibetan children from across the plateau. Support for this program will help to instill confidence, share global perspectives, and enrich the education of a new generation of remarkable Tibetan students.
