SQR SAME camps 2009
DOWNLOAD PDF INFO in English and Chinese.
We need volunteers! With schools out for the summer the kids living in temporary villages in the earthquake area have two months free and not a lot to do, so Sichuan Quake Relief is currently setting up several fun-based activity camps for them.
The SQR SAME Camps will focus on the four areas of Sports, Art, Music and English-language learning.
Camps will be run in 5-day modules from Monday to Friday, commencing Monday June 29, and running till the end of August.
SQR SAME Camps 2009 - 中文
We are asking volunteers to commit to at least one full week of teaching over the summer, leaving Chengdu on the Sunday, staying in the village teaching from Monday to Friday, and returning to Chengdu on the Friday evening. We are looking to build mixed teams to run each camp, so people of all ages, Chinese and non-Chinese, most welcome. And while teaching experience and some Chinese language skills would be great, they are not necessary. We just need flexible, enthusiastic people who have a sense of humour and are able to live and work under difficult conditions.
Transport costs to and from the camp, (very basic) accommodation, and food will be provided by SQR. We are currently building teams for the first seven SAME Camps:
- June 28 – July 3
- July 5 – July 10
- July 12 – July 17
- July 19 – July 24
- July 26 – July 31
- August 2 – August 7
- August 9 – August 14
If you would like to volunteer for one or more of these camps, or if you would like additional information, email volunteer@sichuan-quake-relief.org or call (86) 136 7121 2235.
