2026 Nehemiah Character English Camp · News · Hsinmin Elementary 新民國小

The 2026 Nehemiah Character English Camp officially launched at Hsinmin Elementary today — and it is everything we hoped for! Over five days, this camp is not just about learning English. It is a journey filled with love, character-building, and real international exchange. 🌏🇺🇸🇹🇼

Chinese-American youth volunteers from the ADVENT team brought their warmth and enthusiasm straight into the classroom — through drama, games, singing, hands-on activities, and heartfelt sharing. They created a fully immersive English environment where every child is encouraged to open their mouth, speak bravely, and express themselves with confidence. In laughter and connection, the children are building their global outlook and practicing the values of a good character, one day at a time.

Education is not just about accumulating knowledge — it is about lives influencing lives. A heartfelt thank-you to all the partner organizations who made this camp possible:

Nehemiah International Volunteer Mission
Changhua County Nehemiah Character Education Association
Gloria American English Center volunteer teachers
Ailing Association Tianzhong Care Center

Thank you for helping this cross-border love continue to shine at Hsinmin. 😊
