NEW: Mandarin Buddy Program
While there is no doubt to you how important China as a country and Chinese language will be for the future of your child, China might seem far. Our new program “Mandarin Buddy” will bridge the geographical and cultural distance. This program brings children living in Switzerland together with those in China like nothing else before!
