5.   Others

• During this trip, I found out that many beneficiaries are lacking learning skills; they spent lots of time on studying with low efficiency. Therefore, besides funding, we will spend more energy or time on promoting accurate learning skills.
• During talking with the leader who is in charge of the education work of Huayuan county of 13 primary schools, they are really lack of English teachers, so they would like to know whether we can help them connect some volunteers, who would like to stay there for one month to one year train their teachers or give class to children
