As children patients sometimes require long hospital stays, they often miss school or have little communication with their friends. This can lead to a sense of loneliness. That's why the global nonprofit(不盈利的) organization, TEACH, which stands for Together Educating All Children in Hospitals, has appeared.

For the past seven years, students from 15 universities have volunteered in about 30 hospitals worldwide to bring an educational program to sick children, which helps develop their interest in science and nature. And most importantly, they have raised the spirits and improved the confidence of thousands of sick children.

Isaac Snyder, TEACH Executive Director, said that it's heartwarming to watch the older students help the younger patients with some of the more advanced activities, such as engineering experiments. Unlike other programs, the program of TEACH makes children experience more than just reading coloring books, watching movies or playing online games. It teaches kids how science can be used for their own illness. Besides inspiring kids to see science in a new light, it helps kids understand the diseases that are putting them in the hospital. "It has a great effect on kids. And it can reduce their fears and help them have a positive attitude towards science," Isaac explained.

Isaac knows TEACH can also inspire volunteers to start a career in medicine. Take Isaac as an example. Though Isaac started out as just a volunteer, he finally studied medicine and made a difference to the lives of children patients. When people asked Isaac what he had seen in the patients' spirits as those patients joined in the program of TEACH, he shared, "The parents told the volunteers that this was the first time their children had smiled in days, and they were so happy. "
