Invited by the Taiwan Children Burns Foundation, Feifei and two other children also from Southwest China's Yunnan province came to join the 5-day-long "Forest Carnival" Burns Children Summer Camp 2010 with about 90 Taiwanese children in Nantou, Taiwan. The 13-year-old Feifei, 49 percent of her body burned in an accident 2 years ago, is still undergoing treatment. The summer camp aims to help children with burns rebuild their confidence and gradually enables them to get back to a normal life. "Most children with burns are afraid of their scars being seen, but now we have to let them believe they are still very beautiful even though they have burns," Gao Xindeng, the ex-Chairman of Taiwan Children Burns Foundation said.
