Children are natural-born helpers. When charity and giving are incorporated into the curriculum and school life, students feel a sense of responsibility to support and involve themselves.

孩子天生爱助人，当慈善活动和奉献精神被纳入学校课程和学生活动时，学生们感到了自己身上的责任，会大力支持、积极参与。

As part of Grades 7 and 8’s exploration of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, they were moved to ask teachers how they could help children who struggle to have their basic rights met.

在探索联合国《儿童权利公约》时，我校七年级和八年级的同学们非常触动，开始询问老师并开始思考他们应该如何帮助那些正挣扎在贫困线边缘的儿童们。

So they decided to start a fundraiser to purchase basic goods for children who come from families suffering hardships due to over-stretched family budgets or because of physical disabilities.

同学们决定发起一场筹款活动，筹得款项将全部用于为家庭困难的孩子购买生活用品。他们或由于父母为残障人士，没有足够的经济来源支撑家庭基本生活，或由于家庭成员众多，父母承担着巨大的赡养老人和抚育儿童的重担，以至于无法为孩子提供必要的生活用品。

CISK contacted twelve families with children ranging in age from 6-17. We learned about their situations, their hobbies, and their clothing sizes and then we started planning.

CISK联系了12个需要帮助的家庭，在这些家庭中，孩子的年龄在6-17岁之间。在了解了他们的情况、爱好和衣服尺寸后，我们开始计划如何帮助他们。

From November 28th to December 15th, 2022, our Grades 7 and 8 students held fundraisers during recess for one day per group. While fostering a spirit of love and altruism, the students learned interesting things about starting their own businesses when deciding what to sell and why, concepts such as “supply and demand”, “markup”, “profit margin” and “overstock”. They had to figure out how to have students and teachers pay and how to advertise their sales so their products would sell out.

2022年11月28日到12月15日期间，7年级和8年级的学生在课间休息时组织义卖活动来进行筹款，在培养爱心及利他精神的同时，学生们学到了关于创业的有趣知识，比如 “供求关系”、“加价”、“利润率”和“库存过剩”等概念。学生们必须知道如何让学生和老师们愿意掏腰包，以及如何为他们的销售做广告，以便销售完所有产品。

After nearly one month of their combined efforts and activities, our project has managed to raise a total of RMB 7650.40 . On January 17th 2023, the 7th and 8th-grade students were pleased to deliver the clothes, toys, and basic necessities purchased for the families to the Charity School. If any parents or companies would like to make further donations, please call us. Thank you for your kindness! All donations are gratefully received.

经过近一个月的努力，我们的募捐项目最终筹得了7650.40元。学生们用这些善款为需要帮助的孩子们及其家庭精心挑选并购买了适合他们的衣物、玩具和生活用品。2023年1月17日，七、八年级的学生们把为这些家庭选购的物资交给了爱心学校。若有任何家长或公司愿意进行更进一步的捐赠，请致电，感谢您的爱心。

Philanthropic activities build our empathy and enhance interpersonal communication and understanding, which is an emotional capacity we need as members of society. At the same time, these activities are crucial to developing a sense of citizenship – in terms of individual engagement, participation in collective school activities, and generating a broader sense of social responsibility. Well done, students!

慈善活动可以建立我们的同理心，加强人与人之间的沟通与理解，这是我们身为社会中一员所需要的一种情感能力。同时，慈善活动也对培养公民意识至关重要--在这样的个人与集体活动中能产生更强的社会责任感。
