After-school tutoring program ensures kids no longer study alone after class

Many parents are too busy to accompany their children after school each day, and many such kids come from disadvantaged families. The Chinese Christian Relief Association works with churches all over Taiwan to provide children with after-school programs, ensuring they have a safe place to stay after school.

The company of teachers and social workers not only saves parents from worrying about the whereabouts of their kids after school but also takes care of their physical health and mental wellbeing. Although the government and NGOs already have many after-school programs to provide children with an after-school learning environment, such programs are no substitute for the actual company and care of children’s parents.

陪讀計畫 助孩童課後不再孤讀

每天放學後，都有許多家長因爲工作繁忙，無法在孩子下課後陪伴他們。而這些孩子其中又以弱勢家庭為大宗，因此中華基督教救助協會與各地教會合作，提供這些孩子課後陪讀計畫，讓他們不至於無處可去。

在老師與社工們的陪伴下，不僅能使家長不用擔心孩子放學後的去處，也讓孩子的身心靈能擁有比較好的照顧。儘管目前政府與民間已有許多課後管道提供孩子下課後的學習環境，但家長如何關心及陪伴自己孩子在放學後的生活，對於孩子們來說才是不可或缺的。
