From 2008, Shanghai United International School has been organizing charity events to support Primary Schools in Yunnan. During the past 12 years, we have been helping in the development of education in Yunnan through fundraising, volunteer teaching, as well as inviting children and teachers to visit from Yunnan.
At the beginning of the new year, SUIS Qingpu also joined in the charitable efforts. We held our first Charity Event and collected 171,863 RMB in total to support Primary Schools in Yunnan.
The event was composed of two parts, auction and bazaar. There was a choir, fashion show, singing and dance. During the auction, the art works and the half-day access to library, gym, art museum caught people’s attention.
At the same time, charity bazaar attracted many “customers”. There were different kinds of snacks, stationery, books, toys. Some classes even made their own posters, special promotions and fun mascots.
Love is a light that illuminates others and warms itself. We hope our actions will be a light to warm the children in Yunnan.
