Mr. Xin, a volunteer driver, Mr。 Hu and I went to Gang Kou Elementary School on Monday afternoon (June 3) after visiting Gang Kou middle school students. Although we support 20 poor students at this school, we were only able to interview 5 students at school office and two at their homes due to time contraint--we don't want to take students out during class. So we interview five students between classes and two other students at their homes after school.

I likes his smile. He likes reading and sports. Yes, he does play balls. I was surprised and asked him whether it hurts, he replied no. Pretty amazing to me. His father does odd jobs in a city about 40 miles away and does not come home often. His mom works at a local factory and his grandma sometimes comes to help cooking and taking care of him. His situation needs money to maintain or improve his health. He has been sponsored by Mr. Chuan Wang. |
