在中國寧夏固原市隆德縣,專業的幼兒教師嚴重缺乏,教學環境及設施亦相當惡劣,不少幼童不但沒有機會接受學前教育,就連能夠上學的兒童亦因為校園日久失修及缺乏基本教學設施而無法在安全的環境下學習。過去四年,國際培幼會已於當地協助興建六間幼兒學校,卻仍然不足以滿足當地的需求。 為進一步改善學校設備和加強教師培訓,寧夏回族自治區的教育項目將包括改善現存鄉鎮幼兒學校的教室,如添置桌椅、書簿、玩具和櫥櫃等、補給戶內外的教學物資及設施、向300名父母教授健康育兒知識、派發營養膳食予120名年齡介乎六個月至三歲的幼兒,同時從外地請來教育界專家,教授當地20名教師嶄新的學術知識和教學技巧,並從旁指導他們把所學運用於當地的教學課程上。 這些教師將獲邀親身探訪位於銀川的標準幼兒學校,觀察並學習如何將教學理念實體化。協會深信,只要讓幼兒有機會接受優質的教育,順利銜接小學課程及提升升學的機會,他們將來便更有能力改變現狀,避免重蹈父母貧困清苦的命運。 國際培幼會行政總裁詹文利先生表示:「許多參加者都想知道每次籌款活動所達到的實際成果,我們很高興告訴大家,去年參加者和捐贈者的踴躍支持,令國際培幼會成功於雲南金平縣修建三所幼兒學校,受惠兒童達300名。 「此外,我們亦為學校興建廚房、安裝熱水設備及提供營養培訓計劃,讓學生能夠健康地成長和學習知識。與此同時,亦安排了為30名教師提供為期三個月的全職育兒發展培訓,致力提升當地教師的水準,最終讓貧苦幼童受惠。 「今年『培您童行』所籌得的善款將投放在相類似的教育項目上,衷心呼籲各善心人士繼續支持和參與,期望在4月27日與大家再次見面!」 活動由即日起至2014年3月27日接受公眾報名,歡迎參加者攜同至親參與,一同歡度愉快又別具意義的一天!有興趣人士歡迎登入國際培幼會網站(www.plan.org.hk) 瞭解詳情或致電 3583 3100 報名查詢。 關於Plan國際培幼會「培您童行」步行籌款 關於Plan國際培幼會 協會於50個發展中國家進行兒童發展計劃,服務遍及非洲、亞洲及美洲,並在全球21個國家及地區設立捐助辦事處。香港捐助辦事處於2009年7月成立,然而培幼會與香港的淵源可追溯至50年代,培幼會曾在這裡設立援助辦事處近15年。當時名為「Foster Parents Plan」的培幼會曾幫助近12,000名兒童及其家人,而大部分為來自中國大陸及鄰近地區的新移民。 發稿:Plan國際培幼會 代行:一口田有限公司 有關傳媒查詢,請聯絡Mr. Robin Tang(3583 3233或robin@seedland.hk)、Miss Heidi Lam(3583 3310或 heidi@seedland.hk),或電郵plan@seedland.hk。
For Immediate Release 7th February 2014 Call for Community to Support Plan’s “Walk for Children” 2014, Photos: http://www.seedland.hk/press/plan/2014/2/
Plan International’s annual fundraiser this year aims to provide quality education for underprivileged children in Mainland China. The 3rd “Walk for Children” will be held on 27th April 2014 at West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade, featuring the theme “Pass on the Love”. In order to give the participants a glimpse of the difficulties and challenges that most underprivileged children in developing countries have to face daily, experiential activities in dedicated zones will be set up along the walkathon route, a departure from past years’ Walks. The “Walk for Children” has received tremendous support from the public since its launch in 2012, demonstrated by the substantial increase in participation, which recorded almost triple increase year-on-year in 2013. Funds raised in the 2014 Walk will specifically support education programmes in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, following in the footsteps of the successful initiatives in Yunnan Province that the 2013 Walk benefited. Through reconstructing and repairing existing schools, improving teaching and learning facilities and providing training for teachers, this project aims to significantly improve early childhood education especially for ethnic minority children in this rural area. In Longde County, Guyuan City there are simply not enough professional pre-school teachers and the learning environment is very poor. Some children do not have a chance to receive education whereas those who do go to school are not able to learn in a safe, stimulating environment, as the campuses lack maintenance and the most basic facilities. In the past four years, Plan has helped to build six kindergartens but they are still inadequate to meet demand. With the aim of further improving the school environment and teacher training, the education programmes in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region include replenishing resources and equipment for township-level kindergartens, such as providing books, desks, chairs, toys and cupboards, as well as educating parents about health, providing nutrient-dense packets for 120 children aged 6 to 36 months, and inviting external education experts to teach and help 20 local teachers to make use of new knowledge and teaching skills. The teachers will be invited to visit the model kindergartens in Yinchuan City, to observe and learn how abstract teaching concepts are realised and implemented in the schools. Plan strongly believes that once children are granted the opportunity of receiving proper pre-school education, they will be able to integrate smoothly into primary school and make the most of the next level of education, thus effectively saving them from the cycles of poverty that have caused their parents and grandparents to struggle. “We have also built kitchens and water-heating devices in the campuses, as well as implemented school nutrition programmes to improve students’ health conditions. In addition, Plan has organised that 30 local teachers receive a three-month training on early childhood care and development with the hope of eventually improving the quality of education. “Funds raised in the upcoming ‘Walk for Children’ 2014 will be put to a similar practical use in our programmes in Ningxia. I sincerely call upon your support and look forward to seeing you all on 27th April 2014!” “Walk for Children” 2014 is now open for enrolment and the deadline is 27th March 2014. Participants may enjoy this special day with family and friends. Please visit Plan’s website (www.plan.org.hk) for more details or call 3583 3100 for enrolment and enquiries. About Plan International Walk for Children
About Plan International Plan works in 50 developing nations across Africa, Asia and the Americas, and it operates fundraising offices in 21 countries. The Hong Kong fundraising office of Plan International opened in July 2009. However, Plan’s relationship with Hong Kong reaches much farther back, to the 1950s, when it operated a field office in the territory for some 15 years. During that time, and under the name “Foster Parents Plan”, it helped nearly 12,000 children and their families, mostly new migrants from the Mainland and around the region.
