Grade 11 Service at Project Hope in China


Service

The experience at the Project Hope high school in Guangxi, China last summer was really a blessing, so I went back to China and visited the Project Hope office in Shanghai with my friends this summer.

Unlike Guangxi, an in-land agricultural province, Shanghai is a prosperous city located on the east coast of China. The Project Hope office in Shanghai raises donations for suburban students who can’t or hardly afford to go to school, and organizes events for these students to meet and talk with elites. I helped out in the office for three day, collecting student information, enclosing receipts for donations, and selecting students’ letters to publish on an advertising brochure. It was really an eye-opening experience, because the letters from those students really moved me. They inspired a different view on all the things that I took for granted.
