Chinese/Other Foreign students trying to find a host family
Please click here to find the Students profiles
Dear SACA Members,
My name is Lucero Taboada and I'm an Area Representative of CASE (Cultural Academic Student Exchange). This is a non profit organization, that enables qualified High School Students, between the ages of 15 and 18 the unique opportunity to live with an American Host Family while attending a local High School for a full or half school year.
Students come from around the world, including Europe, Scandinavia, South America, and Asia. They are selected based on their Academic and English proficienencies and are screened in their home country prior to being selected to insure that they posess the necessary skill levels for a successful exchange.
The reason I'm contacting you, is because I have 3 chinese students who would like to come to study in the area. One of the big rules of the programs is that the students can not live with a family that speaks the same lenguage as they do, but I tought you might have american people or people from other nationalities who are interested to learn more about the chinese culture and be part of a very exciting experience hosting a teenager. (You can see their profiles in tha attached word document).
Is there anyway you can help me? We also have other students from other nationalities who are also waitting to find a host family (Germany, Vietnam, Brasil, France, etc.), this is in case you or some other chinese family would like to help the community hosting a student.
Let me know if there is anyway you can help me out? I could attend any of your meetings (in case you have some) and hand out flyers or post an announcement somewhere you think could be helpful.
Thank you so much in advance and hope to hear from you soon.
Ps. If you would like to see the host families responsabilities you can go to our webiste : www.exchangestudents.org.

HeartGift Seeking Volunteers
October
30, 2008
HeartGift, an Austin based nonprofit organization, is
seeking volunteers in the San Antonio Chinese community to assist a 2yr old
Chinese boy and his mother from China for his heart surgery at CHRISTUS Santa
Rosa Hospital and post care in San Antonio during the month of November.
HeartGift provides lifesaving heart surgery to
disadvantaged children living in developing countries where specialized medical
treatment is scarce or nonexistent. www.heartgift.org.
According to International Children's Heart Foundation,
one out of every 100 children born in a developing world will never see his or
her first birthday due to congenital heart disease. Many children in developing
nations who have congenital heart disease are never diagnosed, the foundation
says, and never undergo life-saving surgery.
Each year, the HeartGift Foundation brings children from
around the world to Texas for free surgery to correct life-threatening heart
defects. They come to Texas for these operations because their home countries
lack adequate health care. They leave Texas with repaired hearts - and a new
sense of hope for the future.
With your love and care, we can make difference in the
life of one of those children. The volunteers needed are:
Host families
Providing Transportation
Providing Meals, Grocery, HEB or Wal-Mart gift card and other personal
necessities
Providing Hospital Visitation
Back-Up Host Family

圣安东尼奥市第一届中文教师教学研讨会成功召开
May 28, 2008
5月24日上午九点半至下午三点，由UTSA教育与人类发展学院、双文化双语言研究系、圣安东尼奥Alamo中文学校和圣安东尼奥第一华人浸信会中文学校联合举办的中文教师教学研讨会在UTSA商学院会议室召开。作为圣安东尼奥有史以来的第一次中文教师教学研讨会，其目的在于把本市各学校从事中文教育的老师召集在一起，探讨教学方法，交流信息，以进一步提高教学水准，让汉语和中国文化在各个不同层次得到进一步推广。
参加会议的包括UTSA双文化双语言研究系的教授、大学、社区大学、公立高中、私立学校和非赢利性质的各中文学校任教的教师、管理人员以及特邀嘉宾共计80余人。嘉宾中包括中文学校的主要负责人、亚洲节的发起人May
Lam、以及1930年代曾在圣安东尼奥最早的两家中文学校学过粤语的6位学生。奥斯汀长城中文学校的老师们也专程赶来参加会议。
会议上，UTSA教育与人类发展学院院长Betty
Merchant和商学院国际贸易系副主任Donald Lien分别讲话，对会议的意义给以充分肯定，并通报了UTSA筹建孔子学院和亚洲研究所的近期目标。UTSA双文化双语言研究系主任Dr.
Robert Milk致信大会，向中国四川地震的受害者表示慰问。该系Dr. Wayne Wright对美国双语教育的现状做了详尽的介绍和分析，同时提出了扩大汉语教育的若干建议和做法。他的发言博得热烈掌声。会议上发言的有该系即将毕业的博士生蒲畅、在读博士Pei-yu
Shih, 及来自各学校的老师董红红、季甄、张舒瑜、郭文娟等和冯茂启副校长。他们理论联系实际，从不同角度介绍了自己从事教学的认识和体会，深受好评。Alamo中文学校舞蹈班马兆荣老师做了展示牌，向与会者介绍教授中国民族舞蹈的教学理念。全美中文教师联合会德州分会秘书张岚女士在会议结束前介绍了分会的性质，希望有更多的中文教师参加德州分会活动，建立起较大的教学联系网络，实现资源共享。
UTSA教育与人类发展学院院长Betty
Merchant向受邀的特别嘉宾颁奖，同时受到奖励的还有首先在UTSA商学院开设汉语课的Donald
Lien博士。圣安东尼奥Alamo中文学校校长周品山、圣安东尼奥第一华人浸信会中文学校副校长蔡传义、教会牧师Panha
Doeung 、圣安东尼奥中文学校负责人Ruth Lew和圣城中文学校副校长刘起沛都因积极推广中文和中国文化受到了奖励。午饭期间，圣安东尼奥Alamo中文学校舞蹈班学生在马兆荣老师和家长带领下为与会代表作了精彩的表演。成人班学生用汉语表演了支持中国北京奥运会的节目，给与会者留下深刻印象。
会议间Dr. Wayne Wright 等组织者和部分嘉宾受到媒体采访。与会者对会议的组织、安排和提供的交流内容给以高度评价，也提出了一些具体改进建议。此次会议的成功是UTSA双文化双语言研究系多年为双语社区服务使命的一个拓展。过去该系以服务于讲西班牙语的墨西哥族裔移民及后裔为主，现在能扩大到华人社区，是具有历史性意义的一步，对我们今后继续推广中文教育和传统文化提供了极为有利的条件。此次会议的成功也是UTSA双文化双语言研究系与华人社区中文学校密切合作的结果，我们衷心希望今后这种合作继续得到保持，使我市的中文教育扎扎实实地巩固下去。
本次会议系免费注册，并为与会者提供免费午餐和饮料。在会议筹备和召开期间, 圣安东尼奥Alamo中文学校从人力、物力、财力等方面都给与很多支持。曾在两所中文学校从事论文研究的蒲畅老师自愿捐出个人所获全美Jeide 汉语及语言学研究奖金中一部分资助会议开销。 会议期间，UTSA商学院Donald
Lien博士主动提出愿为大会捐赠经费，及时解决了组织者的困难。圣安东尼奥第一华人浸信会不仅为大会提供慷慨资助, 还由该中文学校教务主任董红红为会议的顺利召开提供了许多宝贵建议。特别值得感谢的是圣安东尼奥学生学者联合会的王瑶、范云、于格三位女士志愿为大会提供了餐饮服务，她们做的饭菜飘香、可口，与会者赞不绝口。提供帮助的还有朱兵、孙志泉、彭庆初、朱婕、孙珂、丁韵晗和金弋等人。

联合募捐组 News Letter
May 25, 2008
5月12日在四川发生的里氏8.0级地震已夺去了65,000多条生命，近三十万人受伤，几百万人无家可归。各级政府和全国人民都在第一时间伸出了援助之手。我们富有爱心的San
Antonio 的华人华侨，留学生及美国友人也积极参加了由Alamo Chinese Language
School, 圣安东尼奥华人联合会SACA(原圣安东尼奥华人学生学者联谊总会SACSSA)、圣安东尼奥华人商会GSACCC、
及圣城华人协会CSSA
联合倡导和组织的多次为支援四川地震灾区的赈灾募捐活动。从5月18日首次在Wuzbach
Alamo Chinese School的赈灾活动，到5月22日的China
Harbor Donation Dinner, 以及5月24日的“美南杯”足球赛，我们共募集善款$28299.15，而圣城华人协会（CSSA）组织的募捐还在进行中，将延续到5月27日。在募捐过程中，许多华人朋友已经是不止一次的捐款（在自己的公司或网上已捐款），有的一次开出几千元的支票。更可爱的是，许多中文学校的小朋友把自己的零花钱如数捐出，把他们幼小的爱心，送到大洋彼岸的灾区，令人感动。还有许多华人朋友，繁忙的工作使他们没有很多时间参加华人社区的许多其它活动，但这次，他们没有落下，无论是亲临捐款现场，还是委托寄送支票或网上捐款，一心要把他们那血浓于水的手足之情，送给那远方受灾的同胞。在此，我们联合募捐组的全体成员再次向你们表示衷心感谢！
