中國幅員廣大，全國按行政區劃分為省、市、縣、鄉和村，很多政策的推行未能在短時間內影響全國。例如幼兒教育政策，雖然政府已規劃在 3-5 年內實現一鄉鎮一公辦幼兒園的目標，但據教育局統計，AEA兒童早期教育項目所在地廣西田東縣108間幼兒園中，只有兩間公辦幼兒園，入學困難的問題仍然普遍。

因為山區兒童未能接受幼兒教育，入讀小學時成績普遍較差，特別是連普通話都不懂的少數民族兒童，輟學問題嚴重，長遠亦只能從事勞動工作，教育並未能扭轉他們的未來。另外，年青一輩因農村生活困難到城市工作，將子女留在村裡，由祖父母照顧，這些「留守兒童」缺乏關懷，更易生意外。

AEA的工作一直專注九個範疇，其一就是「兒童早期教育」。針對廣西山區的教育問題，AEA於去年十月開展新項目，在田東縣貧困山區興建幼兒園，並透過培訓幼兒老師和社區倡議等軟件工作，確保兒童早期教育在當地可持續發展。

China is a vast country, which is divided into national administrative regions by province, city, county, township and village, therefore, the implementations of many policies have failed to be effective for the country as a whole at the same time. For instant, the Government is increasing its emphasis on its Early Childhood Education policy, and plans to achieve its goal of establishing one public kindergarten in each township within 3-5 years. However, there are only two public kindergartens among the 108 kindergartens in Tiandong County, where AEA’s Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) project site is located, according to the statistics from the Education Ministry. Difficulties on kindergarten admission is still a common problem.

Many children have no access to early childhood education, particularly children living in the mountainous area and ethnic minority children who cannot speak mandarin, resulting in poorer academic performance and high dropout rates in primary school. In the long-run, poor achievements in education, due to difficulties faced, in many cases because of lack of kindergarten preparation, failed to allow children to gain the knowledge to get skilled work. Furthermore, due to hardships faced in rural areas, these younger generations have moved to work in cities and urban areas, leaving their children in the villages with grandparents. Their needs are often being neglected and have a high risk of accident.

ECCE is one of the nine themes of AEA. In October 2011, AEA established a kindergarten in the poor rural area of Tiandong County and has subsequently launched teacher training and community advocacy activities to ensure the sustainability of the ECCE project.

Difficulties on kindergarten admission is still a common problem.

Q: How would you describe the importance of ECCE?A: ECCE is very important to the all-round development of our children. During this stage of early childhood, their brains have the fastest rate of development and are in the most malleable stage. Adequate education in this stage not only lays a strong foundation for their growth, but also benefits the long-term development of the society at large.

Q: What are the major challenges of ECCE works?A: First, the turnover rate of kindergarten teachers is high. Under the shortage of skilled kindergarten teachers, kindergarten education is often conducted by primary school teachers with the same curriculum, including reciting, learning vocabularies and calculations. With this approach, kindergarten education becomes more and more like primary school education and at the same time misses the opportunity to develop children’s potential. Second, there is a serious shortage of rural kindergartens, making children have to walk long distances, threatening the safety of 4-5 years old children on the way to school, which also leads to hesitation to send their kids to school. Third, villagers lack knowledge on ECCE, so there is a need to improve their understanding through community activities and home visits, such as the celebration of Children’s Day on June 1, which aims to raise the community’s awareness of early childhood development through kid’s performance, group games and parent-child activities.

Q: What is your feeling about the front-line ECCE work in Tiandong?A: High level of satisfaction gained when we witness our works can successfully help children to access to quality ECCE and the kindergarten operates smoothly.

亞洲資本再保險集團 (ACR)的慷慨支持，造就廣西田東縣兒童早期教育項目成功開展。這個三年項目將幫助當地311名農村兒童接受兒童早期教育，並提升其教學質素，間接令6,684 名村民受惠。今年四月，兩位來自ACR新加坡總部的義工遠赴廣西，親身探訪村民，又參與幼兒活動及粉飾新建的幼兒園，為他們帶來難忘體驗。

探訪中，最影響我、也是最教人痛心的，就是看到小孩的午餐只有蔬菜和稀飯。他們父母生活緊絀，因此村校只收取每學童每天人民幣四元的膳食費。

中國是一個大國，要政府解決社會和教育的問題、確保每一位孩子都能夠接受基本教育是一件不容易的事。但我相信在AEA和其他公益組織努力下，中國的教育問題必定可改善。

My deepest impression, which was also the saddest thing to learn from this trip, is that children were given only one type of vegetable and porridge for their meal. The reason behind this is that the parents could hardly afford to send their children attend school, and the schools are only able to offer minimal meals

based on a very limited budget (RMB 4 per day per child).

China is such a big country and it is not easy for the government to tackle with social and education issues and to ensure each and every child receives basic education. However, with the initiatives by AEA and other NGO, I am sure the education problems in China would improve.

Generous support from Asia Capital Reinsurance Group (ACR) allowed for the initiation of the ECCE project in Guangxi Tiandong County. This 3-year project aims to directly assist 311 children to access to ECEE and enhance their teaching quality, which also indirectly benefits 6,684 villagers. In April 2012, two volunteers from ACR headquarter in Singapore went to Guangxi to visit the village, participated in child

activities and helped decorate the new kindergarten, which was an inspirational experience.

整個旅程最深刻的，就是了解建造幼稚園的真正意義：拯救生命。在田東縣，喀斯特的地勢不宜耕作，年青人都外出工作，村內只有兒童和老人家，兒童都被忽略照顧。可是，附近的水塘和險要山路都對幼兒構成危險，因此幼稚園除了提供教育外，更是一個保護兒童的地方。

The most impressive thing is that I have learned the realistic meaning of building the kindergarten: to save lives. In Tiandong County, where most are Karst topography, land is generally not suitable for planting crops. As a result, the majority of

young people go out to work, leaving behind their children with the

elderly unattended. A variety of dangerous situations often arise while children play around the reservoirs or hill roads. This is the scenario exactly what kindergartens

want to avoid – to save lives!

AEA在香港成立以來，由於年資尚淺，知名度不足，一直面對不同的挑戰。然而在這條「教育改變世界」的道路上，我們並不孤單，全賴得到各位慷慨的捐助者和熱心的義工鼎力支持！ 今年四月藉著復活節長假期，我們舉辦了第二次柬埔寨助學體驗團，查詢及報名參加的人數都比去年第一次多，而每一位參加者都是充滿愛心及關懷。雖然他們大部分都是首次認識AEA，但旅程過後也成為我們的義工。今年參加的小朋友也較多，聽到他們對旅程真摯的分享是這次體驗團的大得著，亦令我確信體驗團真的能幫助參加者「助人自助」！這驅使我們下半年再舉辦兩個體驗團：十月去廣西探訪山區兒童及十二月再訪柬埔寨，希望在籌到項目善款之餘，可讓更多熱心市民有機會「身體力行」做善事。 今年 AEA的重點籌款活動就是聯同愛心大使前往柬埔寨拍攝電視特輯，讓廣大市民認識AEA的工作，及鼓勵善長仁翁以月捐形式支持全民教育！節目預計在十一月中旬於亞視本港台播放。敬請留意，屆時請多多支持！

AEA has been facing different challenges since its establishment in Hong Kong. However, thanks to the support of our generous donors and volunteers, we are not alone on the road to "Changing the world through Education”!

Through organization of the second charity trip to Cambodia this April, we were able to build up a group of caring and enthusiastic volunteers, most of which only learned about AEA through this trip. Also this time we had more children joining with their parents and we were touched by the children’s genuine sharing on the last day. Indeed we are convinced that the charity trip not only can help the needy, but also brings valuable life experiences to the participants themselves. This encouraged us to organize two more charity trips in Dec 2012: to Guangxi of China in October and Cambodia again in December.

Finally our fundraising focus in 2012 is the production of a TV program to inform the public about AEA’s work in Cambodia and the region, hosted by a special ambassador. We also hope to promote donors to join our monthly donation program as it takes years to achieve the vision of “Education for all”. The program is scheduled to broadcast on ATV Home channel in mid November. Hope you will not miss it!

繼去年首次公開招募義工參與柬埔寨體驗後，今年四月AEA與廿二位義工再訪柬埔寨，送上愛和溫暖，更透過籌款為波蘿勉省一群因家暴或赤貧而流連街上，以拾荒或販賣維生的街童提供食物、教育、醫療和安全的居所，助街童重獲新生！

As a sequel to our first public recruitment of Cambodia Experience Trip last year, in April 2012, a group of volunteers joined AEA to visit Cambodia again. Each volunteer was engaged in raising funds for street children in Prey Veng Province who make their living by collecting garbage or peddling on the street due to family violence or poverty. These funds raised by volunteers are used for providing food, education, medicine and shelter to give new lives to the street children!

總結會上，每位義工都分享了整個旅程的感受和學習，令我們感到十分鼓舞！

社區探訪令我印象最深刻。小朋友的身形與真實年齡根本不相符，看似六、七歲的，卻原來已經十一歲！因為吃不飽、沒有營養，他們不能健康成長發育，令我感到很心痛，內心很酸，差點流下眼淚。所以我很支持教育，由小朋友階段開始幫助他們，希望他們將來的生活可以慢慢改善。

　

Day 1● 到訪 AEA 東南亞辦事處

● Visit AEA South East Asia Office

Day 2● 探訪貧窮社區(波羅勉) 及參觀 DTN 街童中心

● Community visit (Prey Veng) & visit DTN street children centre

Day 3● 探訪 Svay Rolum 學校，

到訪柬埔寨博物館

● Visit Svay Rolum School & Cambodia museum

Day 4● 探訪殘障兒童學校

● Visit Rabbit School (School for diabled children)

義工隊探訪了AEA在柬埔寨的項目，踏上前線接觸柬埔寨的小朋友，了解他們的需要和AEA如何幫助他們。到埗的第二天，義工隊首先進行家訪，下午在街童中心透過集體遊戲和制作中式和柬埔寨甜品等活動，將關心與愛帶給這群被忽略的街童，並捐贈舊衣、舊書、教材、由義工捐贈的兔子毛巾和玩具，為中心增添物資。

此外，義工們亦在Svay Rolum School參與烹飪比賽，學習柬埔寨傳統舞蹈和參與集體遊戲，與學生打成一片。在殘疾兒童學校Rabbit School，義工們教授輕度殘障學生穿珠和畫畫，並在學校觀察老師如何悉心照料和教導殘障學生。

The volunteer team visited some AEA projects in Cambodia and stepped into the front-line to understand the real needs of the children and how AEA is helping and empowering them. On the second day, the team went to the rural community to visit the villages and the Street Children Centre (where the raised funds are used). They played games with the street children and worked together to make Chinese & Cambodia desserts. Moreover, the team brought to the Centre some second-hand clothes, books and teaching materials, as well as some toys donated by the volunteers.

They also visited Svay Rolum School and the volunteers participated in a cook-ing contest, played group games and had a lot of fun when learning traditional Khmer dance. In Rabbit School, a school for moderate-severe disabled children, the team observed how teachers patiently teach and take care of the children with special needs. Afterwards, the volunteers organized activities to teach the students with mild disability to draw and to make bead accessories.

In the sharing session, each volunteer shared their feelings and learning during the trip, which was very enlightening and encouraging!

The community visit was most impressive. I met children with body figures mismatching their real age due to insuffi-cient food and malnutrition. I felt heart-broken and almost burst into tears. Therefore I support education to help children since early childhood, in the hope that their future life can be enriched gradually.

體驗團除了為AEA項目籌款外，亦能造就義工的個人成長與突破，更可提升公眾對AEA工作的了解，擴充義工團隊。我們亦計劃於十月及十二月分別到中國廣西及柬埔寨體驗，詳細行程請登入www.aeahk.org.hk查閱。

Apart from raising funds for AEA projects, the trip is a good platform to foster volunteers’ personal growth, while at the same time, to enhance public awareness about AEA’s work and broaden the volunteer base. We plan to organize similar trips to Guangxi in China and Cambodia in this October and December respectively. You can learn more about the trip on AEA website: www.aeahk.org.hk.

很開心。柬埔寨的小朋友很熱情，會和我一齊玩；他們很靈活

，可以爬得很高；他們互相遷就，相處融洽，是值得我學習的。

Living in Hong Kong, I am well taken care of and not aware of the difficulties others are facing in the outside world. After this trip, I first learned that there are many countries in the world that suffer from extreme poverty, yet the people there still feel happy. Cambodian kids are enthusiastic and willingly accepted me to join their games; they moved around quickly and climbed up high; they help each other and live along happily - and this is what I should learn from them.

《不小心創作社》一向支持公益活動，今次為捐助AEA，特別將《二月廿九．色》四月廿八日晚上場次定為AEA慈善專場，票務收入扣除必要開支全數撥捐AEA。我們很榮幸邀請到藝人莊思敏擔任當晚開幕儀式的司儀，並邀請到中西區女青年會的街舞隊表演。

是次演出的兩個劇目，當中包括由編劇大師杜國威編寫的《色》一劇，是中學中國語文戲劇教材之一。故此，AEA亦特邀請善長贊助低收入家庭的中學生觀賞話劇，並從中學習，超過100名來自六所中學的學生受惠。

On 28th April, Think Big Theatre organized a charity performance for AEA. All ticket revenue, after deducting necessary expenses, was donated to AEA. We were happy to invite Ms. Jacquelin Chong, a local artist, to be our MC for the opening ceremony. In addition, we invited a dance crew from Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) to perform an opening dance.

為了提高公眾對柬埔寨人民生活實況的關注，AEA於三月三至四日和十五至十八日分別在奧海城和荃新天地舉辦展覽，展出柬埔寨人日常生活照片，向廣大市民介紹當地生活實況。另一方面，我們亦在攤位出售書籍和雨傘以籌募捐款。

為期六天的義賣動員超過三十名義工協助，共籌得善款約二萬元，派發了超過千份宣傳品予廣大市民，亦成功加強公眾對AEA、柬埔寨赤貧問題和教育問題的認識。

To raise public awareness on the reality of poor living conditions in Cambodia and raise funds for AEA’s projects, AEA organized two shopping mall exhibitions in March (March 3rd-4th and March 15th-18th). It was held in Olympian City and Citywalk, with an exhibition of the situation on the ground in Cambodia. There was also a booth set up where books, umbrellas and other items were sold to raise fund.

More than 30 volunteers helped to make the 6-day Charity Sale a success. The team successfully raised a total dona-tion of around HKD20,000 and distributed more than 1,000 leaflets to the public.

This event successfully raised the community’s awareness towards the living and educational problems in Cambodia and also expanded AEA’s public exposure.

There were two short dramas, including one written by a famous drama-tist, Mr. To Kwok Wai, which is official teaching material of the Chinese drama curriculum in Hong Kong’s secondary schools. Therefore, AEA invited individual and corporate sponsors to support secondary students from low-income families to watch this drama for educational purpose. More than 100 students from six secondary schools benefited.

在香港，我們會偶爾碰見殘疾人士。但是在柬埔寨，殘疾人士佔整體人口8.1%，主要原因包括戰爭、誤中地雷、營養不良和疾病，逾九成殘疾兒童從未上學。

自2003年，柬埔寨AEA積極為殘疾兒童開展共融教育項目，並在今年為殘疾兒童開展了一個新項目。

In Hong Kong, we would see people with disability occasionally. However, in Cambodia, 8.1% of the population has a certain level of disability, mostly caused by war, landmines, malnutrition and sickness, over 90% of the children with disabilities have never attended school.

Since 2003, AEA have been working in the field of inclusive education for children with disabilities and a new project has started this year.

年期：3年 營運費用：每年約50萬港幣

● 幫助殘疾兒童進入主流學制● 改善復康配套● 協助殘疾兒童家庭提高收入，如教授耕作、 飼養生畜或經營小生意的技能● 透過倡議活動，提倡殘疾共融

Period: 3 YearsOperating cost: Around HKD500,000 per annum

● Access to mainstreaming education for children with disabilities● Improve the rehabilitation and cognitive function ● Income generation activities for families of disabled children, eg. animal raising, vegetable growing and other small business● Improve social inclusion through advocacy activities

項目內容 Project details

Inclusive Education reduces discriminationKids with disabilities are often looked down upon and treated with great prejudice, therefore parents choose not to enroll them in school. However through AEA’s work, communities are learning that these children, with special attention, can in fact study in normal schools and can get equally high educational marks as non-disabled children. At the same time, with this initiative, we observe that the level of discrimination against them has been softened.

南亞

項目

政局動盪、天災及全球暖化等因素導致南亞的失業率持續偏高。與此同時，年青人不重視教育，往往放棄升學轉而尋找工作，卻進一步削弱他們的謀生能力。

AEA深信，要先解決弱勢社群的生計問題，才能發展可持續性的教育；只有透過教育，才能長遠提高他們的謀生技能，兩者相輔相成。故此，AEA在南亞推出 iLEAD項目(生計教育及發展項目)，主要針對生活在貧窮線以下的青年(18-25歲)，為他們提供市場上有需求的技能培

訓和創業培訓以促進就業。現時在斯里蘭卡、尼泊爾、印度孟買、浦那、德里和齋浦爾都設有iLEAD中心，為約66,000名學生提供職業培訓。

Due to political instability, disasters and other factors, there is a high rate of unemployment in South Asia. At the same time, the young generation usually seeks livelihood opportunities rather than pursuing further studies, which further reduces their employability.

Alleviating poverty through training in alternative livelihoods assists vulnerable populations in attaining improved financial wellbeing, improving these popula-tions ability to send their children to school, enabling children to gain skilled work and therefore sustainably enhancing future local development and livelihoods. Therefore, AEA launched iLEAD (Institute for Liveli-hood Education and Development), a program which promotes market-oriented vocational training and entrepreneurship training to encourage employment. This program targets youth from aged 18-25 who live below the poverty line. Today, iLEAD centres are set up in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Jaipur, succesfully providing valuable market oriented vocational training for more than 66,000 students.

現年27歲的Dhruba Shrestha在尼泊爾巴格隆居住，從小夢想能出國工作，擺脫貧窮。可是，命運卻不盡如人意，因為赤貧，他無法完成他的學業。他咒罵貧窮，心想一輩子都只能從事勞動工作。

直至他留意到iLEAD培訓計劃，他毅然報讀電工課程。三個月的培訓結束後，他滿懷熱誠投入新行業，勤儉儲蓄，數年後開始自己的生意，更聘請了兩位iLEAD畢業生成為員工。現在，他每月收入達三千港元（從前每月收入少於三百港元），並改變了起初的夢想，現在他說服在國外工作

的朋友返回尼泊爾，開發本土的工作機會，不用再離鄉別井工作。

Dhruba Shrestha, aged 27, from Baglung, Nepal, always nurtured the dream of working in other countries and to be free from poverty. But destiny saw it otherwise; he was not able to complete his schooling because of abject poverty. His father could not afford even a passport, let alone visa fees and expenses on travel tickets. He kept curs-ing his poverty and thought his only option was to do heavy work for the rest of his life.

Until one day he heard about the iLEAD training program, he applied for house wiring training. Upon completion of his 3-month training, he was beaming with energy and confidence to start work in this new industry. He made savings in just a few years time and he started his own business. He now even employs two colleagues who graduated from iLEAD. Currently, he earns about HKD3,000 a month (he earned less than HKD300 a month previously). Instead of chasing after his dream to travel and work elsewhere, he persuaded his friends who were working abroad to return home and make the most of opportunities available in Nepal, to develop the local job opportunities, rather than working as exploited laborers in foreign countries.

據國際勞工組織2010年數字，全球約有2.15億童工！其中超過一半在惡劣下工作。超過八百萬的童工屬於「最惡劣形式童工」－童兵、雛妓、從事色情事業、販毒及非法活動。童工問題嚴重阻礙全民教育的進程，因此AEA為了拯救童工開展了以下兩個項目：

There are around 215 million child laborers worldwide (ILO, 2010), and more than half of them work in hazardous environments. More than 8 million are involved in the "worst forms of child labor", ie. child soldiers, prostitution, pornography, trafficking and illegal activities. This problem of child labor severely hinders the expan-sion of “Education to All”, and therefore AEA launched two projects, described below, to help alleviating this problem:
