The School Tree Project

Over the summer vacation we had a summer camp (Summer at ECHO) for the children at the ECHO Center of Juvenile Justice. Other than our 6 basic extracurricular activities that we work with which are Sports, Art, Theatre, Music, Dance and Public Speaking; during the summer camp we also taught them basic Computer Science and Astronomy.

We would like to thank ECHO for giving us the opportunity to conduct the summer camp.

Our partners ECHO have some great news for everyone.

"Through school tree I had the privilege of meeting and interacting with a few "underprivileged" kids, but the smile on their faces and their genuineness made me wonder what privilege actually means. Each one of them have immense potential which is waiting to be tapped into. When we were with them whatever was on our minds just vanished and we were in paradise. That feeling when you know that there are these kids eagerly waiting for you to tell you what happened that week and the satisfaction get by teaching them something new is unbeatable. I joined school tree thinking I would be teaching a few kids something new. But I ended up learning more than what I could have not possible taught in a lifetime."
