\n“Giving Back To The Village” Program
\n<\/strong><\/span> Photos<\/a>
\n\u201cGiving Back to Your Village\u201d is a charitable program co-sponsored by the Acacia Foundation and the Benevolent Association of Guangxi. Our Motto is \u201cIt is more blessed to give than to receive.\u201d Every summer in July, we sponsor a week of character and leadership training in Nanning for the village youth who have made their way into university. Then they return to their respective home villages to organize children day camps for the following four weeks, visiting the seniors and shut-ins, caring for the \u201cStay Behind\u201d kids and doing community services. They introduce knowledge on medical, environmental, legal, and financial issues among villagers, benefiting thousands throughout different counties in the Province of Guangxi over the years. This program first began in 2009. It motivates the passion and creativity of the youth. Over1,000 students have participated in the program, reaching over 10,000+ village kids through the years. It is well recognized by the government and the public.<\/p>\n

\nWe cooperate with Leadership Development International (LDi) by investing into a new International Kindergarten in the city of Tianjin, the neighborhood of Tianjin International School. It is named Tianjin Seed Kindergarten. Following the model of former Chengdu Experimental School (CDES), children are educated in Chinese and English languages, incorporating value and culture from the East and the West. We believe in training children in the way they should go. When they are old, they should not depart from it. School started in September, 2022.<\/p>\n
