Juggling Childcare and Farmwork 兼顧家庭和農務真不易 5 3 Child Guardian
How your donations help In China How introducing Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) centres benefits everyone? Tenzin was born five years ago in a rural Tibetan village. His father works in the local mines while his mother farms and takes care of Tenzin and his little brother. 18 25,000 Finding enough hours in the day for both work and family can be a struggle for any parent. For Tenzin’s mother, keeping an eye on two energetic boys while farming is a challenge. “My sons run everywhere, like the other children here. They go to the fields to play in the dirt and to the river on sunny days. But these places are risky so I always worried about their safety.” Tenzin cheekily adds, "Sometimes our parents are so busy, they don’t have time to take care of us. We often caused trouble – we let air out of the tractors’ tyres." Then last year, an Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) centre started up in their village with support from Save the Children. And it’s been a success from Day One with kids and parents. Tenzin attends every day. “I go there to play with building blocks, jigsaw puzzles and balls. I like the games that the centre organizes," he happily explains. And his mother points out, "The centre is helpful for us parents. I leave Tenzin there with complete trust, and I have seen many changes in him. He talks more, he pays more attention to cleanliness, he has many new friends and he respects us with good manners.” Last year, Save the Children opened 18 ECCD centres like Tenzin’s in remote areas of Yunnan, Xinjiang and Tibet. In total, we improved access to ECCD classes for over 25,000 young children throughout China, while also raising parental awareness about early childhood care and development. Child Guardian 4
