Summer Camp
Poverty not only deprives children of opportunity to go to school, but it also affects their psychological health. In addition to assisting children’s tuition needs, we are also devoted to support their psychological needs. Since July 2004, PEACH Foundation has sponsored annual Summer Camps where we offer courses like Mandarin (PuTongHua), English, Happy Life, Music, Question and Answer, Movie and Games. Through these courses, we hope to improve our children’s self-esteem, self-respect and confidence. Summer camp English teacher positions are open to PEACH donors or their children only. You may become a donor today to be qualified. To apply, please fill out the application form, (only teenager teachers need to fill out the form). Should adult teachers be interested in applying, please simply send an email to staff@PeachfoundationUSA.org .
