In addition, the association has been following new immigrants’ issues for a long time and has worked hand in hand with the school to understand the needs and difficulties of new immigrants. Through the cooperation, the wind chime activity allows the students to practice what they have learned in school, showing their ability to lead the group, and at the same time, improve the quality of parent-child interactions of the new immigrants.
