Because
there is no pre-school in the ChaZhu Valley, children of
their age have to wait until they become 7 years old to
attend first grade. Their daily acitivities are staying
home with seniors, sitting besides fields while their parents
work in the field, or playing between the clay houses.
TAF
hopes to fund a Family Center for those children under the
age of 7. We think that this facility will be beneficial
to these children and give them an opportunity to grow in
an educational facility to prepare for their future education.

The
Valley to Valley Children's Exchange Program generated
nearly $1000.00 from schools in Ojai during the Spring of
2006. This fund will be used for the building of a Family
Center near the ChaZhu
Valley Clinic. TAF continue to raise additional funds
to complete the pre-school project.
We welcome you or your school children to participate in
raising funds for this wonderful project.
