A Fu Hui Alumni Project - Gathering "Stars” to Set Sail
When the bell rang for start of the winter vacation, children in the villages went home happily. However, they were faced with an extremely difficult problem: completing their winter vacation homework by themselves. In the rural areas, most of the children's parents are illiterate or with low education level. They are incapable to help their children with their homework. It is against this background that starlet graduate A Zi Se Ri applied for the Fu Hui Alumni charity fund to initiate a project called “Gathering Stars to Set Sails” which focuses on tutoring rural children's homework and accompanying them during the winter festival.
A Zi Se Ri started to planning in last December, together with other four Fu Hui alumni Bu Zi Ma Sha Ge, Ye Bu Ma Xiao Lan, Xiao Xia, Tang Rui, they formed the project core team. In the beginning of January, they recruited seven more volunteers from Fu Hui alumni and trained them on tutoring children's holiday homework and guidance activities in their villages.
After several online meetings, the project was held in three villages in Butuo and 1 village in Xichang from January 16 to January 29, 2023. Through 14 days of mutual companionship and joint efforts, the 62 children who participated in the activity in the four groups completed the holiday homework nicely. They all expressed that they had an extraordinary holiday. Besides the help on their homework, they learned a lot of extracurricular knowledge and participated in a wealth of extracurricular activities. Volunteers also had their own gains. They learned how to get along with children and how to manage a group of participants etc.
After the event, the project team completed the event report to sum up the experience learned to prepare for the next event. They all Look forward to the next event, and hope that it will be even better.
