Dear Donors,
Time flies! Here we are again, with another story to share with you.
The story took place in Xuanhan County, Sichuan. In Xuanhan, two schools take students from kindergarten age up to 9th grade, one named Sansheng and the other one Sanqiao. Sansheng has over 500 students, with about one third of them living in the school dorm. Sanqiao is a bit bigger, with over 700 students and over 400 of them rely on school to provide housing. Unfortunately, the dorm conditions of both schools were far from ideal. At Sansheng, the only 75 bunkbeds available were from the 1990s and almost on the verge of falling apart. Sanqiao, on the other hand, was in need of an additional 82 bunkbeds to have enough. And just like the other schools that we visited before, both schools wanted to give their students a better living and learning environment but lacked funding to purchase what they need.
It pained us to see the students struggle to have their basic needs met and we were eager to help. With your support, we purchased and installed 160 metal bunkbeds and 15 storage closets for Sanqiao and Sansheng. Both schools were very grateful. There was still a lot left to do. We only hope that, with this new set of furniture, the lives of the students would become a bit easier.
As always, thank you so much for giving so generously. We will continue to update you on the positive impacts that your support made possible. Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Overseas China Education Foundation
