News and Events 2016

Up to 2015-16, YEF has offered more than 1,500 grants to senior secondary students. These students are peasant children and some have since entered university. Many of them still stay in touch with us. Whenever we visit the schools, we not only bring our students presents, but will conduct activities with them to boost their creativity and enhance their knowledge about the world outside school. Since 2015, our work has extended from Gansu to Ningxia, where we set up a grant scheme for Senior Secondary students at Guyuan No. 5 Secondary School. Because of the school’s geographical location, most of the students are children of farmers and are very poor. About 30 per cent of them are Hui people. In July 2016 we brought with us stationery and dim sum to visit them. To our surprise, they had also prepared a lot of performance for us. We were deeply touched.
