Beijing Xing Wang Immigrant School
This school was established to help poor working families who cannot afford to send their children to government subsidized schools. Volunteers contribute in many ways such as drawing pictures with the kids, playing music, or teaching English. They are very receptive and seeing new (especially foreign) faces brings them great happiness. It is also an opportunity for students to learn more about some of the socioeconomic issues China faces. |

Charity Bake Sale
Lotus students and host families enjoy participating in a great deal of charity fundraisers. During the Dragon Boat Festival, for example, we joined the efforts of well known charity organizations to make and sell zongzi (sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves) to raise funds for less fortunate students in rural areas of China.
Here are some pictures of past charity bake sales. |
