Our students got to explore digital tools for English learning on our online learning platform, GLOW, during our 3-day English Camp back in August! A student shared, “After participating in English Camp, I fell in love with English and now see it as an amazing thing in my life."

The direct economic shocks to our scholarship families are dire. In the case that the pandemic prolongs the need for social distancing, our scholarship students may have to quit school for good.

We are so proud of our students like Phuong Thao who shared her story during #2021CampConnect, “… I myself was a very timid girl... Today, I can confidently stand in front of a crowd as a dynamic, energetic person... Without SEEDS, today's Phuong Thao would not be here."
