| Students from Huangnan No. 1 School, Qinghai Province, China |
1. School background
The Huangnan Nationalities Number 1 Middle
School was established in 1992. There are 15 classes with approximately 1000
students from different counties and there are 70 teachers and workers. Especially the
government is aimed to
collect students from other counties because there are no senior schools from
other areas. Since this school was opened, it gives the chances to the rural
girls to enter high school and now the amounts of female students are yearly
increasing. We are really happy to
support education for girls from this
school because most of them are coming from nomadic places and some of those
are the first high school students in their villages. Since people knew that there is a foundation which
only supports education for girls, some of the teachers and parents often came
to Mother’s Wish Foundation for support. In 2011, we interviewed each student
and finally we selected 14 girl students for this school.
2. Why we support girls in this school
The first
thing we do when selecting a student is, we talk to teachers and ask if
there are any students who really need our help for education. Then the teachers
give us a list of students, but it is impossible to support all of them. These
14 girls are not from Tongren; some of them are from Zeku, Henan, and Jianzha.
When we saw their family conditions (in the personal interviews at their homes),
we were convinced that we should support them.

“You have
to study hard, never let down your sponsors.”
|
In our
recent visit, Mr. Jian Cuo told the students that many of their photos are
hanging on the walls in the family of their sponsor and that the sponsors had
included them as their family members. He also told them that their sponsors
are not rich people and there is no money on the trees in their garden. But
they are very kind hearted and generous so they should never waste their
support.
3. How we give them tuition fees
It is
always the same system when we provide the tuition fees for the students. The student and one of their parents must
sign on the receipt papers and they also must print their finger on these two
papers so that the money is directly received for them on their behalf.

4. School activities are part of their lives.
For the students, they must
study hard but also need some free time to relax and do other activities.

5. Conclusion
Everybody
would like to say thank you so much, and the headmaster requested that it would
be really wonderful if Mother’s Wish Foundation could support more girls in
this school.
