By OCEF | Project Leader
Dear Donors,
This time we would like to introduce Shijing Elementary School to you. Shijing is located in Heng County, Guangxi Province. The school has been a long time partner of OCEF. For almost three years, the educators there have worked with our volunteers to improve the learning environment for their students. Last year, the number of students at Shijing reached almost eight hundred. The educators knew the urgency to make more learning resources available, but they were unable to due to the financial difficulty from which the school constantly suffered.
Around the end of last year, Shijing reached out to OCEF. Soon after, we started the project of building a new reading room and reading corners in classrooms. With approximately $3,200, we renovated the old reading room and installed new sets of desks, chairs, and bookshelves in it within a month. Each of the eighteen classrooms also got a reading corner set up with new bookshelves and books.
The students at Shijing were very excited to see the change and showed great interests in spending their time in the new environment. We are happy that what we did promoted the students' interest in reading, which is crucial to their cognitive development. Thank you for making this possible! Your generosity made a difference in the lives of hundreds of children at Shijing and we are truly grateful.
Sincerely,
Overseas China Education Foundation
