Just this past October, we mobilized 35 volunteers to participate in recording picture book stories. We donated 35 digital picture book reading companions to 131 left-behind children at a private “Complete School” (comprising a kindergarten and elementary school) in an economically underdeveloped area of Jiangxi Province, and donated 340 physical picture books. Based on the school’s requested reading list, this round of donations included a variety of stories from ancient and modern times, both domestic and international. This not only meets the need for age-appropriate children’s books at the school but also provides targeted support for broadening the children’s reading horizons.
For this round, five child volunteers joined the team of voice volunteers, adding their youthful voices to make the audio storytelling more engaging and further stimulate the children’s interest in reading. In the future, we will conduct in-depth research based on the actual needs of children’s reading companionship, create more opportunities for voice volunteers, and welcome caring individuals from diverse social backgrounds, age groups, and with varying vocal abilities to join our action team.
