Six (6) years ago, this group of youngsters began their journey
together at a Chinese Immersion Public Charter School in the
District of Columbia, Washington Yu Ying. In their daily life at
Washington Yu Ying, they learn about Chinese dynasties, the Great
Wall, and the way of life in China. They sing Chinese songs and
practice math in Chinese.
As lively and as inquisitive as they are, they are still quite
young at 10 and 11 years old, some of them having never been away
from their parents for more than a night or two. Next summer
however, the group heads to mainland China, where these students
will discover the place of origin of their adopted language. These
children will live and attend school and summer camps with their
Chinese counterparts, a visit which will no doubt be a game-changer
in their quest to more fully understand the Chinese language and culture.
Such an opportunity doesn’t come along very often. Yet it is the
perfect chance for citizens of different countries to understand
better each other’s cultures and start building relationships across
national frontiers. While it may be difficult to change the
perspectives of adults, it is more likely to be successful with
young minds that are more open to understanding differences. The
earlier one begins to learn a language and culture, the more fluent
they will become.
Many of our youngsters aspire to be lawyers, architects, doctors
and engineers, but they also desire to become world leaders,
activists, actors, scientists, musicians. Becoming socially and
culturally adept in Chinese culture will be an important part of
their success. Help us make this happen!
Please give often and generously, but EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. We
can only do this with your support!
