Shiqi is in Grade 4 this year. His father died of cancer in 2010, which left the family fall into desperate poverty.

One afternoon in January, I received Jia Mang’s call on my way to Bama in Guangxi Province. He said he dropped by my apartment to return some money. Upon arriving at Bama at 5 PM I received another call from Futao’s mother. Futao is a student from Liu Ping Primary School. She said that something has been wrong with her lungs recently and that she was going to pray at a Buddhist temple. She also suggested me to do the same. I told her that I was fine and thanked her for her concern. I also told her that we had found a sponsor for her son and that we would support him to continue his education. The next day, another young guy named Wolf called me and said they were preparing a public service activity. They hoped to partner with us and asked if we could find any children in need. With joy, I told him I would make some home visits when my job got out and would let him know as soon as possible. While I was walking through the village, a child came up to me, reached out his hands, and asked for money. Soon, several children gathered around me, all asking for money. I got upset and saw an old man with white beards standing in front of a shack. I greeted him and looked into the shack, hoping to talk to him, but he reached out his hand and also asked for money. I was overwhelmed The first child who asked for money kept following me, so I asked him to show me his school. There was a school with only one classroom. 50 children of several grades had to share a classroom and a teacher.
