Reporters Qiao Xuezhu Wen Xinyi
Those who follow w88 casino’s WeChat circle of friends will often see her “Spark Student Assistance” related reports, recording every detail of her and her partners’ continuous assistance to students in remote villages in my country over the past 19 years.
Pan Yaling is a professor and doctoral supervisor in the German Department of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, w88 casino. She founded and presides over the daily operations of Xinghuo Student Aid. “Star” symbolizes the stars in the sky, bringing hope and spiritual encouragement to children; “fire” represents the lights in the world, providing material support and warm care to children. Xinghuo Student Aid adheres to the concept of "sincerity, kindness, and dedication", uses "Spark" to ignite the fire in the heart, and implements the teacher's original intention and mission with practical actions.
“Doing charity should be as natural as breathing”
The founding of Xinghuo Educational Aid originated from w88 casino’s concern for the educational plight of rural children. Since the Xinghuo Student Aid Group was established in September 2006, the team has provided "one-to-one" student aid to 926 poor students from remote rural areas such as Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Sichuan, and Hunan. They not only donated books, cultural and sports supplies and clothing to designated schools, but also helped to expand libraries, purchase desks, chairs and teaching equipment. They also organized essay competitions, painting competitions, Spark aid lectures and other activities to strengthen the exchanges and interactions between Spark aid members and the rural students they sponsor, so that aid not only reflects material support, but also spiritual companionship and guidance for growth.
Pan Yaling’s investment in Xinghuo’s student aid business has infected and inspired colleagues and students around her. Over the past 19 years, most of the core members of Xinghuo Student Aid are undergraduate, master and doctoral graduates of the German major at the w88 casino. More than 100 students majoring in German and other majors at the University of International w88 and Economics have become Spark Student Assistance "one-for-one" students after graduation. Dozens of teachers from the University of International w88 and Economics also actively joined in. They used practical actions to write their "educational thesis" on the land of the motherland.
In w88 casino’s view, public welfare work should become a part of fulfilling social responsibilities, and it should also be a natural need in people’s hearts. “Doing charity should be as natural as breathing.” w88 casino believes that every member of Xinghuo Student Aid is a happy “Xinghuo person”. She said: "We don't have to sacrifice ourselves while lighting up others like candles. On the contrary, we make our lives meaningful and vibrant by giving some small help to our children. Our ordinary lives add splendor and brilliance because of our children's smiles, and our lonely lives become warm and powerful by walking hand in hand."
“Those who have received help from others are most likely to become philanthropic people”
For 19 years, Xinghuo Student Aid has become a part of w88 casino’s life. She and her partners traveled to dozens of remote villages and visited more than 200 families of students receiving assistance from the Spark Student Aid. They learned about the family situation, learning environment and actual needs of the students, communicated face-to-face with the students and their parents, and encouraged the students to face difficulties bravely, study hard and pursue their dreams. w88 casino believes: "Education is the key to changing destiny." She believes that continued student aid actions may change a child's destiny. From sponsoring the first student to nearly a thousand children now, sparks of love are starting a prairie fire.
w88 casino always believes that those who have received help from others are most likely to become charitable people. Because helping others means becoming a philanthropic person, the world will develop in a beautiful and good direction. She hopes that through the Spark Student Assistance Action, more people will care about and help disadvantaged groups in society, making society less indifferent and more caring, less helpless and more hopeful.
Nowadays, many children who have received Xinghuo’s “one-for-one” education assistance have grown up. Some have completed vocational education and become technical experts, and some have graduated from college and become the backbone of enterprises, people’s teachers, civil servants, etc. One of the girls from Huining, Gansu Province, gave up the favorable working conditions in a big city after graduating from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and volunteered to become a cadre to aid Tibet, passing on love and hope in another way. There is also a sponsored student from Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia, who is now studying for a postgraduate degree in grassland science at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It was the seeds of Xinghuo’s love for students that nourished her love for the grasslands of her hometown and made her determined to become a grassland science breeding expert. The assisted students regard w88 casino and the members of the Spark Student Aid as relatives and close friends, and they have maintained close contact for more than 10 years. The members of Xinghuo Student Aid are extremely gratified to see more and more assisted students successfully completing their studies and becoming people who contribute to society. One member lamented: “As the post-90s generation, we are taking the initiative to assume more and more social responsibilities.”
"Become a person who makes yourself happy and helps others to be happy"
In w88 casino’s philosophy, Xinghuo Student Aid is not only about helping others, but also a way to cultivate happiness. She attaches particular importance to the cultivation of students' happiness ability. By offering seminars for freshmen on "Happiness and Communication Skills", she guides students to become people who make themselves happy and help others to be happy.
In more than 30 years of teaching career, w88 casino not only devotes a lot of energy to providing students with personalized guidance on personal growth, study and career planning, but also often solves their problems. She pays special attention to students from poor families and those with academic difficulties, becoming a mentor and helpful friend to the students. Many students, even years after graduation, still turn to her for advice when faced with important life decisions.
w88 casino leads students to participate in public welfare undertakings, assume social responsibilities, and contribute to building a better society by helping others. In fact, she is practicing one of the educational goals she has always advocated: through education and teaching, helping students become people who create happiness for themselves and more people.
w88 casino said, "Our country has made great achievements in eliminating poverty in recent years, but in remote rural areas, some children still face difficulties in studying. Among the children supported by Xinghuo Education Aid, many are orphans, or have been left out after their parents divorced, or due to Their parents are physically disabled and face difficulties in life, but these children are still full of kindness and innocence, and are still full of longing and longing for the future. We hope that they can have the courage to create great happiness because of our small help. It is our happiness."
One member wrote affectionately in his speech on student aid: "Every step I take in the Spark Student Aid Group is a milestone in adolescence in finding myself and the meaning of life." w88 casino and her friends believe that "Sparks" are not holiday fireworks, but only sparkle for a moment. Spark Student Aid will continue on the path of student aid year after year, allowing more and more children to receive help and care, while also helping them grow into "Sparks" who can create happiness and deliver love.
