EERC Welcomes You !
We are Educational Enrichment for Romanian Children, Inc. (EERC Inc), devoted to opening the door to a new world of possibilities for Romanian children of exceptional promise.
We believe that early adolescence is a critical time for shaping children's views of the world and of their own potential. The impact of a summer in another country can be profound and can last a lifetime. EERC Inc selects exceptional Romanian children of modest backgrounds to attend some of Boston's premier summer camp and school programs. They engage in a wealth of stimulating intellectual and social activities that would not be accessible to them at home. This experience can be the springboard to other possibilities that take these youngsters further than they may have imagined possible. At the same time, they are fantastic young ambassadors of Romanian culture!
Among the values we promote are community service, transparent governance, civic engagement, environmental stewardship, and tolerance of diversity – values essential to Romania’s full engagement in a world without borders.
Our work with this rising generation supports Romania's future development, even as it opens American eyes to one of New Europe's newest, most vibrant members. It is a win-win-win situation: for the children, for Romania, and for the Americans whose lives they touch while in Boston.
Our 2010 program is in full swing! The Class of 2010, six children, are in Boston from late June until early August. They have settled in with their host families, are attending their respective summer camps, and are happily absorbing every detail of life in the United States. See "News and Events" for more details about what is going on now!
