捐款人快讯 2014年12月号 Donor Newsflash Dec 2014

各位朋友：

值此除旧布新之际，OCEF谨向各位捐款人致以诚挚感谢及问候，并为您带来以下助学项目最新反馈。OCEF二十年一路走来，资助乡村贫困学子、学校无数，所有成就，都是源于您和像您一样的热心人慷慨解囊。祝您和您的家人在2015年健康快乐、事事如意！

Dear friends of OCEF:

On the eve of a brand-new year, OCEF would like to take this opportunity to extend to you our sincere gratitude and best holiday wishes. Over the past two decades, OCEF was able to offer a helping hand to countless rural students and rural schools in need, all of which was made possible only by your generosity and that of others like you. We hope you and your family find 2015 a wondrous, prosperous year!

一对一资助活动/One-on-One Sponsorship

OCEF今年的一对一资助活动正在火热进行中，目前仅余137名小学生、228名初中生和505名高中生可供选择。资助一名小学生每年只需100美元，初中生150美元，高中生350美元。赠人玫瑰，手有余香。在这佳节来临之际，还有什么比这更好的礼物呢？请立即访问项目主页，资助一位贫困学生重返课堂。

The One-on-One Sponsorship is again a hot hit among our programs this year. At this time, there are only 137 elementary school students, 228 junior high school students and 505 senior high school students remaining on the list to be sponsored. It takes only $100 to sponsor an elementary school student for a year, $150 for a junior high school student, and $350 for a senior high student. A gift of financial aid is a long-lasting legacy, and there is no better way to give in this season of giving. Please visit the project webpage and help a student return to school.

为建校奔跑/Run for a New School

11月23日，来自天南地北的11位跑友们参加了在香港迪士尼乐园举行的慈善跑半程马拉松比赛。他们主动为中国海外教育基金会、为留守儿童们奔跑筹款！这次筹款的主要目标是为山东省菏泽市定陶县半堤镇成庄小学扩建一栋教学楼。迄今为止，我们已经筹得157,411元人民币，离目标还差342,589元。我们期待更多热心人士的踊跃捐助，帮助更多孩子早日实现读书的愿望！

成庄小学现有三百多名学生，现有的一栋教学楼不能满足周围几个村学生的需要，常常是三个孩子挤一张两个人的桌子。学校没有宿舍，学生全部走读，13名老师中只有离家特别远的三个老师可以在办公室里住。尽管山东省属于沿海省份，可是菏泽市属于山东省的贫困市，定陶县又属于最为贫困的县。半堤镇地处边远，人均年收入仅3000元。时任OCEF中国事务委员会主席的卓韵宝在2013年走访了这所学校，实地考察了情况，觉得非常有必要资助。建这栋教学楼一共需要80万人民币，OCEF准备为其中的50万人民币募捐，其余部分由当地筹措。OCEF将帮助监督工程质量与流程，严格按照规范执行。

On November 23, 11 runners from all over the world participated in a half-marathon charitable event held at Hong Kong Disneyland on behalf of OCEF. They were running to raise funds for a building expansion project at Chengzhuang Elementary School in Dingtao County, Shandong Province. To date, a total of 157,411 RMB has been collected, with 342,589 RMB remaining to reach the final goal. We hope more people will join the effort to help the students there and make their dream come true soon!

There are currently over 300 students at Chengzhuang Elementary School. The existing school building is not enough to meet the needs of the student body, and often three students have to share a desk for two. There is no dormitory at the school, and all students and teachers, except three teachers who live too far away, have to commute daily to school from the nearby villages. Although Shandong is a coastal province, Dingtao is a well-known impoverished area. Zhuo Yunbao, then chairman of OCEF’s China Affairs Committee, visited the school in 2013 and determined it was in critical need for financial assistance. About 800,000 RMB is needed to expand the school building, out of which OCEF will provide 500,000RMB. The rest of the funds will be raised locally. OCEF will also help monitor the construction work to ensure quality and compliance to the appropriate standards.

网络募书进度/Online Book Donation

OCEF于2013年8月推出网络募书项目，根据学校学生的人数和年龄，精心挑选了适合孩子们看的图书，并在书商的网站建立心愿单。捐书人只要点击进入心愿单进行认购，完成订单的支付，所认购的图书即会按预设的地址直接送到学校。以上图片反映了部分受赠学校的情况以及孩子们收到书后阅读的情景。

项目开展一年多以来，得到广大网络用户以及热心公益人士的支持。到目前为止，我们已经为10所乡村学校的1500多名学生共募得图书3500多册。第11所学校（湖北大悟聋哑学校）的募书项目即将展开，欢迎继续参与（网络募书项目详情）。

OCEF launched the Online Book Donation program in August 2013. The program carefully picks out books for each school according to the age group and size of its student population and compiles a wish list on a bookseller’s website. Donors need only to log onto the website and select books from the wish list to donate. The books will then be delivered directly to the school. Pictured above are some of the schools and the kids who have received books from online donation.

Since its commencement, the program has received overwhelming support. So far more than 3,500 books have been delivered to over 1,500 students in 10 rural schools. Donation for the 11th school, the Dawu School for the Hearing Impaired in Hubei Province, will be kicking off soon, and we welcome your continued participation (further information).

特殊项目成果展示（一）/Report on Special Projects (Part 1)

Compiled by Zhuo Yunbao; translated by Xu Hanqing; edited by Zhang Jing

一、供暖项目/1. Heating Project

被誉为“西北高考状元县”的甘肃省会宁县，山大沟深，自然条件恶劣，十年九旱，农民生活贫困，但这里的人民都非常重视教育。头寨子镇中心小学位于会宁县北部，学校共有教学班12个，在校学生550人，其中贫困生485人，占学校总人数的80%。学校冬天一直靠火炉生火取暖，而火炉取暖既不暖和，更不安全、不卫生。2013年11月，OCEF捐资55,000元，为学校食堂、学生宿舍和图书室安装上了暖气片。

Huining County, in the northwestern province of Gansu, is situated amid towering mountains and steep canyons. Mother nature has been very tough on the people living the arid region, which suffers from severe drought in most years. This little county, however, is known for the dedication of its impoverished population to education, and for the excellent performance of its students in the national college entrance examinations. Located in the northern portion of the county, Touzhaizi Central Elementary School has a total of 550 students in 12 classes, 485 of whom are from impoverished households. During the winter, the school used to rely on briquette stoves for heating, which are not only ineffective but also dangerous and unhealthy. In November 2013, OCEF provided 55,000 RMB to install a modern heating system for the dining hall, dormitories, and the library.

二、食堂设备项目/2. Cafeteria Equipment Project

湖南省平江县地处山区，相对比较闭塞，发展比较落后。该县浯口镇东港小学共有学生300余人，教职工13人。学生绝大部分是留守儿童，来源于附近的七个村，中午大多数在校就餐。经多方集资新建了一间食堂，可厨房设施简陋，孩子们在食堂吃饭也一直是或站或蹲或跑，这样严重影响他们的身心健康。2013年OCEF出资19,520元为孩子们添置了餐桌椅和消毒柜等食堂必备物品。

Pingjiang County in Hunan Province is an under-developed rural area surrounded by mountains. Donggang Elementary School in that county has a student body of more than 300 and a staff of 13, including the teachers. The students come from seven villages in the vicinity. Due to the crippling poverty, the vast majority of their parents have been forced to leave their hometown to seek work in big cities. Since all students have their lunch at school, the staff had raised enough funds to build a dining hall, but it was so poorly equipped that the students had nowhere to sit during lunch. In 2013, OCEF raised 19,520 RMB and bought brand-new tables, chairs, and other essential equipment for the dining hall.

三、课桌椅项目/3. Desk and Chair Project

红水乡中心小学位于广西融水苗族自治县北部山区，现有教职工32人，在校生402人，其中寄宿学生295人，都是来自各村屯边远地区的孩子，周一到周五在学校寄宿。学校的课桌椅非常紧缺，东拼西凑的一些桌子拿来当课桌，破旧且不说，大小高低都不一样，奇形怪状的。2013年OCEF出资29,250元为学校添置了200套课桌椅。

Hongshui Township Central Elementary School is located on the mountainous northern outskirts of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The school has a staff of 32 and a student body of 402, of whom 295 are boarding students from far-flung villages. The school suffered from a serious shortage of proper classroom furniture, and the classrooms were full of old tables and chairs of various shapes, sizes, and heights. In 2013, OCEF bought 200 sets of desks and chairs for the children with 29,250 RMB.

图书资助项目部 收到4个省6个学校14个图书角新的申请，为30个班级图书角配书1657册；收到3个省3所学校图书室的申请，审核通过其中1所并配置新书520册。

学校反馈

湖北省麻城市黄土岗镇严家畈小学：同学们收到书都非常高兴，这些书先分到学生手中，同学们尽量挑选自己感兴趣的先读，读完可以与同学互换。少部分愿意的可以带回家让爸爸妈妈带着一起读。课间老师给学生读一些绘本，指导学生要注意的地方。学生也进行自由阅读，期中准备讲故事比赛。

江西吉安市遂川县草林镇吉安电力希望小学：每天孩子们都可以阅读，同时校园的阅读氛围变得浓厚起来。通过各色活动激发了孩子们的阅读兴趣。在上学期我校的学生参加了很多县级征文活动并取得名次。

宁夏回族自治区银川市西夏区农科院小学：为了让学生走进书的世界，播下爱读书的种子，各班开展了丰富多彩的读书活动，让学生在优良的环境和条件下快乐地读书，养成热爱书籍，博览群书的好习惯：

建立班级图书角。捐赠的图书摆放在班级后边的图书角里，每天中午供学生借阅。为了更好地保管图书，提高图书的使用率，各班选派图书管理员，负责图书借阅，确保图书借阅的正常运转。
做好摘抄笔记。学校给每位学生发一个随笔本，及时摘录，并坚持写随笔，让学生有所思有所写。
安排读书时间。为了让读书活动有序开展，学校语文老师带领学生认真制订了“书香班级”的读书时间，充分利用早晨、午间、课间、课前三分钟等时间段安排学生阅读。

甘肃省平凉市崆峒区白庙回族乡小秦小学：我们要为提高学生的阅读兴趣营造一个阅读氛围，让孩子受到书香的熏陶，老师指导阅读方法，为学生今后的写作指引道路。利用班级图书角，让孩子感受读书的乐趣。营造书香校园阅读氛围，让孩子在书香里快乐成长。现在大部分学生都有了浓厚的阅读兴趣，而且也提高了教学成绩。低年级学生阅读以绘本、图画为主，中高年级就喜欢有故事情节的图书，科普类的图书也深受欢迎。我们会定期开展读书交流活动，分享读书心得，交流读书的乐趣，读书的好处等。

河南省辉县市孟庄镇三里屯小学：因为是一年级的孩子们，所以这次申请的图书以图画书为主。每本图书都很精美，在进行传书仪式的时候，孩子们就表现出了异常的喜欢。因大多数孩子的识字量不多，主要采用了学校里老师读给孩子听，家里进行亲子共读相结合的方法。课余时间和中午到校后孩子们自由借阅，自主阅读。

OCEF之星

何文佳（大地圣歌），2006年开始成为上海组义工，十多年来曾多次参加募书、整理发运、助学金录入等活动。她不幸因病于2022年10月初离世，OCEF义工们送上花圈，并附上小诗，表达缅怀与纪念。

大爱无言行为先，
地广天高脚步坚。
圣贤之事平常心，
歌长情深永为念。

Hike4Kids助学活动

9月27日， OCEF北加分会在东湾Hayward市的Garin Park举办了脚步走出的希望——Hike4Kids户外助学慈善活动。此次活动共有约190名湾区居民参加。活动当日风和日丽，OCEF十几位义工早早来到公园准备好介绍中国乡村教育状况的图片资料，向参与活动的湾区居民介绍基金会近期的助学工作与成就。

Garin Park的几座山峰海拔不高，但颇为陡峭，合影后，100多位登山者在山脊上形成一条长龙，蔚为壮观。人们一边登山，一边攀谈，并在顶峰眺望海天一色的海湾美景，心旷神怡。登顶人群中既有白发苍苍、年近七旬的老者，又有襁褓中仅九个月大的婴儿。山路蜿蜒一周，恰好五公里长，这正是许多中国山区贫困学童的每日坎坷求学之路的距离，而他们却每日要往返一次，如此辛苦却依然有很多孩子因贫困而失学。

登山之后，人们虽然劳累但兴致高昂，在公园烧烤区分享着彼此带来的美食，组织者也当场烹饪美味的烤肉。简单的午餐之後，一些朋友意犹未尽，再次组织人马登山，并相约明年继续支持参与此户外慈善助学活动。这次登山助学活动不仅是收获了友谊与关注，一位常年捐款人更当场留下五千美元支票捐助乡村教育。

OCEF北加分会感谢Tong You Family Foundation赞助此次活动。此家庭基金会常年关注失学问题，表示如果此活动有超过100人参加，每多一人就多捐赠100美元。因此，190名登山者帮助OCEF募得9,000美元。此外感谢湾区华人长跑会（BURN）的朋友们协助了此次登山助学活动。北加分会成立已逾十年，多年来通过图片展、户外慈善运动等形式唤起湾区华人社区对大陆贫困学童的关注。目前此次Hike4Kids活动，以及10月5日的San José半程马拉松Run4Kids活动，已合计为OCEF筹集善款近五万美元。

Hike4Kids: An OCEF-Sponsored Charity Event

On September 27, OCEF Northern California Chapter organized the charity event “Hike4Kids” in Garin Park, Hayward, and about 190 bay area residents participated. It turned out to be a beautiful day, and OCEF volunteers arrived very early to set up displays about rural education in China and recent works and accomplishments of OCEF for the participants.

The mountains in the park are not very high in altitude, but the trails are steep. After a quick snapshot, a procession of more than 100 climbers snaked up the ridge in a heart-warming display of solidarity. Among them were grey-haired seniors almost 70 years of age as well as kids as young as nine months old. People chatted while climbing up, and enjoyed the spectacular view once they got to the summit. The hike ran a total of five kilometers, roughly the distance many rural kids in China have to travel each day to get to school. The daily journey is not keeping them out of school, but unfortunately for many of them, poverty is.

Tired but no less excited, the participants enjoyed a barbecue and potluck lunch, and made their pledges to see one another again next year at this event. Some of them, with more energy to spare, headed right back to the trails after lunch. It was more than enthusiasm and companionship that were on display that day, as one of our regular donors wrote a $5,000 check on the spot to support our cause.

Special thanks go to the Tong You Family Foundation for its generous support for this event. With children dropping out of school as one of its focal issues, the Tong You Family Foundation pledged to donate $100 for each participant beyond the first 100. As a result, the 190 climbers helped OCEF raise $9,000 from this source alone. In addition, we would like to thank our friends at BURN for their help in organizing the event. Since it was founded over a decade ago, OCEF Northern California Chapter has been working tirelessly in the bay area to put the spotlight in rural kids in China. Between Hike4Kids and the Run4Kids event organized during the half marathon in San José on October 5, nearly $50K has been raised for our cause.

OCEF协调员访谈

【编者按】协调员是OCEF分布在全国各个资助点的本地联络人，他们有的是学校老师，有的是本地的公务员，也有的是当地义工。OCEF在该地区项目的联络跟进和反馈都需要协调员来协助帮忙，特别是每年助学金项目的学生申请、家访、发款等。

都小桂从2006年开始在四川简阳武庙九年义务教育学校做代课老师，现在在幼儿园做幼儿园老师，09年开始担任OCEF的协调员。作为OCEF的协调员，都老师主要负责家访、发款、收集各种信息、协调走访。由于她工作的幼儿园师资不足，老师不能轻易离岗，她只能利用节假日为OCEF工作。具体花了多少时间，她自己也说不清。她坚持家访每位新申请的学生。路好的，尽量找辆车；路不好的，只能自己走路，或者由丈夫开摩托车带去。近的学生一天能走访2-3个，远的一天只能走访一个，而且有时候联系几次都联系不上。

都老师认为简阳的学生上学面临的最大问题是留守儿童问题，他们由爷爷奶奶抚养，老幼之间的沟通存在很大困难。之前，学校尝试建立了一个留守儿童之家，配备了图书室和电视等。都老师在和这些留守儿童沟通交流的过程中感觉到，这些孩子缺少的不是物质条件，而是从心理和生理上与父母的接触陪伴。他们本能地排斥这样的留守生活，却表现出若无其事的漠然。

OCEF的资助虽然不能根本上解决这些孩子面临的问题，但是对一些家境贫困的孩子还是非常有帮助的。简阳的贫富悬殊非常大，几百元对一个贫困家庭来说可以做很多事情，家长们很感动，每次发款时都能看到家长们真挚的表情。但学生们的这种感恩就很少，一方面是学校对这块的感恩教育很少触及，另外一方面是孩子们与父母的链接稀少，父母关爱的缺失是学校无力能改变的。

都老师认为OCEF与其他慈善机构很不同。她时常会接到附近企业、个人的捐助电话，但很少接受他们的资助。曾经有一个车友队捐了3000元给学校买体育器材，但要求受助学生举行捐助仪式，还要求学校邀请镇里的领导和媒体来拍照等等……这些让老师们觉得很不舒服，觉得他们太注重形式了。还有一次，一个基金会带来很多旧衣服，一家家送给学生，还拍照，也让都老师感觉不舒服—这样的行为太伤害孩子们的自尊了。而OCEF去年融小姐和最近林女士来走访，都能让老师们感受到他们发自内心的对学校和学生的真挚关心，而不是简单的走形式、拍照片。两相对比，都老师心里最认可OCEF。

Interview with an OCEF Coordinator

[Editor’s note] Coordinators are the local points of contact for OCEF at sponsored sites scattered all over China. Some of them are teachers, some civil servants, and others local volunteers. All efforts in follow-up and feedback on OCEF’s local programs require assistance from the coordinators, especially in student applications, home visits and fund distribution.

Du Xiaogui began her career in rural education as a substitute teacher at Wumiao School in Jianyang, Sichuan, in 2006 and now teaches at a kindergarten. An OCEF coordinator since 2009, her main duties include visiting student families, distributing funds, and gathering information. She can only work for OCEF during holidays and school breaks, as she keeps a fulltime schedule on her job. Still, she has spent countless days for OCEF.

Teacher Du insists on interviewing and visiting every new applicant at his/her home. Some of the locations are accessible by automobile, but many of them can be reached only on foot or by motorcycle, driven by her husband. For those who live closer to her, she is able to meet with two or three kids a day. In other cases, it may take her a whole day to visit one. Sometimes, it takes several tries just to get in touch with the students and their families.

In Teacher Du’s eyes, the biggest issue facing rural education in Jianyang has to do with children of parents who left home to seek opportunities elsewhere. The children usually end up staying with their grandparents, with whom they have a major gap in communication. Previously, her school tried to establish an activity center for these “left-behind” children, complete with a library and a TV set. What Teacher Du discovered through her experience is that what these children really long for is not tangible goods but interaction with their parents, physical as well as mental. They hate living in that situation but they hide it with feigned indifference.

Financial aid from OCEF will not resolve this complex problem, but it helps with those children whose families are particularly poverty-stricken. Income disparity is huge in Jianyang, and a few hundred RMB yuan can make a real difference for some families. Teacher Du sees the sincere gratitude from the guardians but does not always sense the appreciation from the kids. They are not taught how to appreciate in school, she says, but the missing affection from their parents is a more fundamental issue that the school can do little about.

Teacher Du sees OCEF in a very different light from many other charity organizations. She is often contacted by potential donors, institutional or individual, but rarely accepts their donations. She recalls several past occasions where donations from local groups turned more into photo opportunities for the donors, or the donations came at the expense of the students’ self-esteem, all of which left the teachers feeling very uncomfortable. In contrast, OCEF and its volunteers come across to Teacher Du and her colleagues with their genuine concern and care for the kids. In her heart and mind, Teacher Du identified the most with OCEF.

Join the OCEF Team!

OCEF welcomes you to the OCEF 5-km Challenge!

Five kilometers amount to the distance that many rural children in China have to cover each day to get to school. This fall, we invite you to join us in an outdoor charity event: The OCEF 5-km Challenge—Walk 10,000 Miles, Donate 10,000 Books! Besides books for designated schools, all funds raised through the event will be used on school aid programs in rural China, including scholarships, teacher training, and renovation of school facilities, and donors will be updated periodically. So far more than 300 of our friends have accepted this challenge. We would like to take this opportunity to call on all donors and volunteers to join us.

This is how it works: Within seven days of receiving the challenge, complete five kilometers of outdoor activities, or donate $20 or three books. Then, share your pictures and challenge five more people.

We invite our friends all over the world to join the OCEF team: pick your favorite outdoor activity, run, hike, walk or bike for the kids, promote the 5-km Challenge, campaign for our cause, and raise $500 or more for OCEF. In 2013, Kenny Cheung participated in the New York Marathon and raised over $1,600 from his friends to set up a library for Qiaotou Elementary in Shuguang Township, Guangnan County, Yunnan Province. Many others are also working hard for the foundation, and for the kids. Please join us in challenging yourself, and showcase the beauty of outdoor sports—and the beauty of philanthropy!

OCEF重要通知 Important Notice from OCEF

新闻动态

各位捐款人朋友：

我们在四川与广西已经完成注册工作，能够进行日常助学工作。在其它地区的注册及临时备案也取得了一定的进展，有希望在2020年上半年恢复正常的助学工作。经过理事会的讨论，我们决定恢复捐款页面，提供日常捐款途径。当有更多更新时，例如可以开放一对一助学系统时，或者注册、备案工作有更多进展时，我们会及时告知。

海外中国教育基金会理事会

Dear donors,

OCEF has successfully registered in SiChuan province and GuangXi autonomous region, and our projects in these two provinces will not be disrupted. We've also made progress in both long term and short term solutions for our nationwide operations, which hopefully will allow us to resume regular financial aid projects in all regions in the first half of 2020. Based on these progress, OCEF board has decided to restore the donation page for your conveniences. Please note that we always accept your donations with great gratitude, even when we temporarily remove the donation page earlier last month to suspend our fundraising effort.

We will keep you updated about when the one-on-one project will restart and the registration progress.

OCEF Board of Directors

关于暂停募捐活动的重要通知

尊敬的海外中国教育基金会的捐款人朋友：

您好！《中华人民共和国境外非政府组织境内活动管理法》近期已在中国大陆颁布和实施，该法律规定境外NGO必须先注册，再在注册地进行相关活动。目前，虽然我们百般努力，但OCEF在许多省份的注册工作并不十分顺利，必须暂停除四川，广西外所有地区全部的助学活动。

我们正在争取在尽量多的省份通过临时备案的方式恢复助学项目的运行，并积极推进在北京的注册工作，争取可以取得覆盖全国的运行资格。由于您和其他所有捐款人的慷慨支持，目前OCEF银行账户的收支余额约170万美元，处于历史高位，超过今年98万美元的支出预算较多，但暂时无法继续大规模用于助学。因此，经过理事会慎重讨论，本着向所有捐款人的助学捐款负责、降低善款风险的目的，我们决定暂停所有的募捐活动，并撤下OCEF官方网站上所有的捐款方式。如果您可以帮助我们在北京推进注册工作，或者您有其它疑问，欢迎您与我们联系，发送电子邮件至该E-mail地址已受到防止垃圾邮件机器人的保护，您必须启用浏览器的Java Script才能看到。。非常感谢！当OCEF可以恢复在国内更多省份的助学活动时，我们会第一时间给您报告好消息。我们相信这一天不会太久。

谢谢您的理解、信任和支持！

Important Notice from OCEF: Temporary Suspension of Fundraising Activities

Dear Donors of the OCEF:

Recently, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of Activities of Overseas Nongovernmental Organizations in the Mainland of China was promulgated and implemented, which requires any NGO based outside of Mainland China to register with a government agency in order to operate within the jurisdiction of that agency. Despite our best effort, the registration process has proven to be difficult in many provinces. As a result, we are obliged to temporarily suspend all school aid programs in Mainland China except for Sichuan Province and Guangxi autonomous region.

We are doing our best to resume our operations in as many provinces as possible by submitting documents for temporary activities, as mandated by the Law. Meanwhile, we are also pushing forward registration efforts in Beijing, which would enable us to operate nationwide. Thanks to the generous support from you and the other donors, we currently have a balance of approximately $1.7 million in our bank account, a historic high and well exceeding our budget of $0.98 million for this year. At the moment, however, we are unable to continue our school aid programs at the usual scale. After careful consideration by the Board of Directors, we have decided to temporarily suspend all fundraising activities and close the donation portals on the OCEF website. It is a decision to be responsible for the donations made by the donors and to avoid potential risks to the funds. If you can help us complete the registration process in Beijing, or if you have any questions, please contact us via e-mail at 该E-mail地址已受到防止垃圾邮件机器人的保护，您必须启用浏览器的Java Script才能看到。 . We will update you immediately when our school aid programs can resume in the other provinces, and we believe that day will come very soon!

Your understanding, trust and support are greatly appreciated!

义工快讯

OCEF义工快讯2022年9月号（总第122期）

各位义工朋友：

金秋送爽，我们又迎来了一个充满希望的新开学季。本期快讯请各位欣赏来自OCEF甘肃协调员李林为感谢甘肃会宁翟所初中光伏项目所作的画《大山深处的爱》，以及OCEF所资助的师生所做的读书笔记与阅读计划。

助学快讯

助学金项目部 黑龙江杜尔伯特、江西遂川、广东兴宁等地协调员寄来秋季新申请和春季反馈资料扫描件。协调员们陆续发来受助学生的大学录取、初升高、小升初信息，截止到本期快讯发稿时，统计到今年有361名OCEF资助的同学考上大学，其中已有114名同学递交了大学新生奖学金申请。感谢冯忞、梁永敏、孙蕾珍、胡光霁、柯军、于胜楠、杜力、铁丁丁、朱丽君、高雷、米洋、王琦（小胖）、刘秀、卓韵宝参与秋季助学金录入和审批，预计10月底左右发款。随着大学生人数不断增加，为大家提供互帮互助交流的一群已满，助学金组组织成立了大学生二群。感谢甘肃会宁籍学生陈海平和山西广灵籍学生宋亚雪勇挑重担，竞选成为大学生二群管理员。

特殊项目部 审核河南省封丘县范寨小学、南范小学体育器材项目、范寨小学课桌凳项目。甘肃会宁县翟所初中和榆中县韦营学校光伏项目运行一年反馈良好，项目尾款已支付。协调员李林为感谢OCEF资助甘肃会宁翟所初中光伏项目，特别创作了一幅国画，学校也为OCEF送来了锦旗。

图书资助项目部 九月收到七所学校的图书室资助申请、11所学校34个班级的图书角资助申请，审核通过三个图书室和24个图书角，为其配书共计3107册。

图书捐助反馈

河南省辉县市路固小学：感谢海外中国教育基金会，让孩子浸润在书香中，给孩子们一个多彩的童年。

河南省汝阳县李庄小学：为了充分利用好这些受捐图书，学校老师让学生利用双休日在家时间和晚上课余时间把图书角的书带回家，进行分散阅读、相互轮换阅读、分小组进行集中阅读。另外，还每月组织一次全班“好书推荐会”，让学生分别讲述自己最喜欢的书的名字及故事情节或读书收获。这些书让孩子们获得了快乐，拓宽了视野。

河南省洛宁县长虹初级中学小学部L老师：我所在的学校是九年一贯制，去年刚成立的小学部，学校目前没有图书室，没有图书角，我把前两年申请的书都拿到班里供孩子们自由阅读了，每年期末发现有损坏的书时我都特别心疼，一直教育孩子们只有爱惜书的人才配读好书。我一直希望书是放在学生手里，今天鼓励孩子们一学期要争取把这一百本书都认认真真读完。真的特别感谢OCEF基金会给我们送来这么多优质图书，一定会让孩子们坚持读下去。感谢OCEF基金会的所有义工老师们。
