Project Update: Online Book Donation
The picture above witnessed the book-passing event organized at Jijie
Elementary School in Guangnan County, Yunnan Province, the first school to
benefit from OCEF's Online Book Donation Program. The kids' longing for
books and their excitement upon receiving this gift from our donors are
written all over their faces.
The Online Book Donation Program is one of the many OCEF programs aimed at
collecting books for rural schools. Volunteers carefully selected the most
suitable titles based on the student population as well as their age and
needs at each school, and then created wish lists on book-selling websites.
Donors can simply choose items from a wish list to purchase, and the book-
seller will handle everything else per prior arrangement. The process makes
it a breeze for donors anywhere in the world to donate books through the
Internet. The targeted schools have gone through careful screening by OCEF.
Once the books are delivered, volunteers will follow up to help the schools
organize library procedures and reading programs, and to encourage the kids
to read more.
Since it was launched at Jijie Elementary School, the Online Book Donation
Program team has organized similar campaigns for other schools, including
Zhalong Elementary in Lichuan, Guansu, Baliqiao Elementary in Yinchuan,
Ningxia, Nantian Elementary in Dawu, Hubei, Yantou Elementary in Yongzhou,
Hunan. Currently, the program in focusing on Nanyuezhuang Elementary School
in Guangling Cunty, Shanxi Province. If you would like to help, please take
a moment to browse thewish list, buy a few books, and experience the program
first hand. In the future, we will add more schools in need to the Onlone
Book Donation Program, and your generous support will always be appreciated.

受助学生感言
我叫H，今年26岁。于2012年7月大专毕业。
家住乐山市马边彝族自治县的一个叫荧光岩的小山村。是一个冬暖夏凉、草木丰茂、溪
水清澈、村民朴实的美丽地方。在这个美丽的小山村有我简单而美好的童年。说简单是
因为，农村的孩子可玩可做的事少，整天做的就是和一群小孩捉迷藏、跳绳，冬季扑鸟
、夏季捉蜻蜓。
我们的小学在对面的山上。早早的就有一行孩子合着去上学，大的孩子带小的，沿着山
路往下到小河，过独木桥，穿过马路，再爬一段山路，总的大概要一个小时的时间就来
到了我们的学校。我学习很刻苦，但小学毕业的同时也因家庭经济原因辍学在家。这是
我才明确了我此时的梦想，那就是继续上学。
幸运的是两年后，我的梦想真的实现了，我上了我们乡的中学。为这我得感谢我的爸爸
妈妈，是他们没有放弃我上学的梦想。三年后我以优异的成绩升到了高中。此时的我有
了更多的理想，我想考个好的大学，以后能找一份好的工作，让我的家人不那么辛苦，
家庭境况得到改善。最好能做一名教师，可以为家乡孩子的学习做一点贡献。
加倍的努力让我有不错的成绩，是我们年级20几个有希望考上本科的学生之一。由于成
绩不错和家庭困难，还得到学校减学费的奖励和海外中国教育基金会的资助。县城的消
费比乡里高了许多，学费也翻倍。尽管我已很节约，当还是给家里带来了沉重的负担。
在接到大学录取通知书时我已在乐山市的超市里打工，并且有了不上大学的打算。后来
一位亲戚的劝导说：“你读了那么多年书，不上大学太可惜了，你可是我们这里第一个
大学生，我可以借给你学费”。藏在眼里很久的眼泪不禁哗哗流了下来，原来我这么想
上大学。
大学给了我们更多的时间和空间。我一直提醒自己不要虚度了大学生活。努力学习理论
知识，积极参加学校各项活动和社会实践活动。一则提高自己的理论水平和交际、组织
、实践能力；一则可以赚钱减轻父母负担。是教育基金会的资助使我更顺利的完成大学
学业，这是我第二次结识了海外教育基金会。
充实的大学生活很快就过去。毕业后我留在了四川工作，不久公司面临倒闭的境地，由
此我离开了公司，回到家乡县城，在一家超市做策划，可不到一个月我就因身体原因而
辞职。我家乡一彝族乡上的一所中学缺一名化学老师，2012年9月我来到了这里代课。
实现了我做教师的理想，虽然这里条件比我乡艰苦的多，但我还是非常的愉快。
生在农村长在农村，在农村使我坚强而朴实。温馨的家庭和愉快的童年让我活泼而开朗
。学习繁重的中学养成了我刻苦努力的精神。充实的大学生活，培养了我很强的组织和
交际能力。毕业后工作增加了我对社会的认识，培养了我的责任心。就是因为具备这些
基本素质和对海外基金会的认识，我意向做一名海外教育基金会的义工。我感谢基金会
，深深地敬重基金会。愿以实际行动回报社会。
Feedback from an OCEF-Sponsored Student
My name is H, I am 26 years old, and I graduated with [the equivalent of] an
Associate Degree in July 2012.
I grew up in a little village called Yingguang’ai, in the mountains of
Mabian County, Sichuan Province. It is a beautiful place with good climate,
lush vegetation, clear streams, and loving people. I had a very simple but
enjoyable childhood—simple, because rural kids did not have much to do but
playing hide-and-seek, rope-jumping, or catching birds in winter and
dragonflies in summer.
My elementary school was on another hilltop. Every morning, a group of kids
would walk to school together, with older ones helping out the younger ones.
It typically took us an hour to complete the trip on the winding mountain
trail, crossing a river on a single-plank bridge and a highway. I studied
very hard but had to drop out after graduating from elementary school
because of financial hardships at home, and that kindled a yearning for
further schooling in my mind.
Two years later, my dream came true thanks to my parents’ tireless effort,
and I went to junior high in our local township. Three years after that, I
was admitted to senior high with excellent academic credentials. Then I had
another dream: I wanted to go to a great college and then land a great job
to help my family out. I wanted to be a teacher so that I could contribute
to the education of other kids in my hometown.
Hard work earned me good marks and I became one of the 20 or so students in
my class with the best chance to go to college. My academic performance and
financial situation got me partial tuition waiver from the school and
sponsorship from OCEF. Despite of my frugal life style, my schooling was
still a big burden to my family as the living expenses were higher in the
town where my school was and the tuition was twice the amount for my junior
high. When I received my college admission, I was working in a supermarket
and had been thinking about giving up my college dream. A relative told me:
"It would be a waste of so many years of hard work if you give up now. You
are the first one around here to be admitted to college, and I will loan you
the money for tuition." I was in tears when I heard that—that was when I
realized how much college really meant to me.
College life greatly broadened my horizon and I constantly warned myself not
to waste this precious opportunity. I studied very hard and engaged in all
kinds of extracurricular activities and practical training. These activities
helped me improve my academic abilities and practical skills while at the
same time reducing the financial burden to my family. At this point I got
sponsorship from OCEF again, which smoothed the way for me to get through
college.
After graduation I found a job but the company was soon facing bankruptcy.
So I returned to my hometown to work for the marketing department of a
supermarket, only to be forced to quit a month later for health reasons.
Later I became a chemistry teacher in a middle school in a nearby town
inhabited by the Yi people and realized my dream of being a teacher.
Although the conditions are even tougher than in my home township, I am very
happy.
Growing up in a rural environment made me strong and honest. A happy
childhood and strong family ties gave me an energetic and open-minded
personality. A busy high school schedule shaped my diligent work habit. A
full and varied college life helped me develop excellent organization and
communication skills. My work experiences after college enhanced my
understanding of the society and my sense of responsibility. Because of
these qualities and my appreciation for OCEF, I want to be an OCEF volunteer
. I am grateful to OCEF, deeply respect OCEF, and would love an opportunity
to give back to the society.
