We believe - "Don't just do it, do it right!"

From ideas to action, it took us one whole year to prepare, and our volunteer teaching consultants have played the most crucial roles. Even though they have to spend more than two hours on the road to come to the preparation meeting, they always arrive on time and never miss one. After each meeting, they will spend even more time to refine and modify the material to tailor-made the lesson plans for "Project Puyuma" to fit each child's age and language skill. Their wonderful lesson plans have become the solid foundation for our volunteers to reach their full potential in teaching.

We believe - "Don't just do it, do it right!"

We'd like to use this opportunity to introduce our admirable volunteer teaching consultants, who dedicated themselves selflessly to the project - Professor Lei and Mrs. Donise (Mrs. Lei).

Dr. Wei-Lin Lei

-Retired professor of the University of California. He's been working in the field of bilingual education and developing bilingual teacher training for almost forty years. He has received two master’s degrees and a dual-doctoral degree from two universities. He is an expert in Chinese and English dual language learning and the development of teaching materials.

Mrs. Donise Lei

-A retired high school teacher from California public school system. She has been teaching in the field of dual language education and mathematics for over thirty years and received school-wide "Teacher of the Year" award two times and was chosen to demonstrate teaching. She received the US national certification of high school teaching in the subject of Math in 2001. Mrs. Lei has a Master of Education degree and specializes in teaching and developing teaching materials.

No one can achieve anything single-handedly. Again, we give our thanks to all the volunteers who devote their time and effort to keep the project going, and to all the family and friends who follow our progress at MyGiraffe and encourage us continually!

從起心動念到付諸行動的漫漫一年籌備過程中, 居於幕後的志工教學顧問們扮演了最關鍵的角色. 每次來回 2 小時多的舟車勞頓, 準時不缺席每個籌備會議. 回家後再花上無數個小時反覆斟酌修改教材, 順利的依照孩子們的年紀和能力量身打造出"普悠瑪專案"的教案, 奠定了志工老師們充分發揮才能的根基.

一個信念就是 Don't just do it, do it right! (對的事情要去做, 更要做的到位! )

以下向大家介紹兩位令人敬佩, 無私奉獻的志工教學顧問 Professor Lei (雷教授) 和 Donise 老師 (雷夫人):
