Thanks to our friends from Chung Yu Institute of Technology for joining us for our 1-week summer camp during these very hot days in July. Our students, from grades 2 through 5, from elementary schools across Keelung, discovered the excitement of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, enjoyed circle time activities, learned some soccer skills and drills and competed in an intramural tournament with students from Hsin Yi Elementary School. On the last day, Alex organized fun sports and water relay races -- the top 3 teams won ice cream treats!
Though temperatures reached highs of 38 degrees Celsius, our students remembered to drink plenty of water and move into the shade to take frequent rest breaks.
Acceptance of students into this free summer camp program was NOT based on English ability but on the basis of: disadvantaged economic circumstances, single-parent homes, aboriginal families, children from families where one parent is non-native Taiwanese, and children of school teachers and staff.
