Donation and Artwork: We are One Community

Monday 10 Feb 2020
These days, the internet does not always reflect the way we want to be. There are good and bad things, suffering, heroic deeds, overwhelming advertisements for online education courses, the bright and the dark side of humanity … However, what kind of person do you hope your children will become in the future?
Since the outbreak of Coronavirus (NCP), we have received students’ questions one after another. “How can we help?”, “Is there any donation channel we can use as Hangzhou Dipont School of Arts and Science Hangzhou students?”
Students are not outsiders. Cultivating students’ social responsibility is always been one of our key educational concepts. Social responsibility will help you travel far and is also one of the key criteria for world’s leading universities. At present, the School ’s Parents’ Committee, SLT and teachers have jointly discussed a donation focus, which has raised over RMB 380,000 in just one week.
How to use your gift money (New Year’s money)? How to make it significant?The aim is to cultivate children’s kindness and social responsibility. Through these activities, students can further enhance their awareness and thinking about social agenda such as disasters and difficulties encountered by society.
Ms Yue, Director of the Parents’ Committee Primary and co-organiser of this event, said that this is a good chance to educate our children as well as a good cooperation between school and parents. “We’ve been sourcing a medical equipment channel but it was not easy. So finally we decided to donate the money to the Red Cross (Hangzhou Branch) who will send it to the local key hospitals to fight the illness.”
We have also collected a pile of lovely artwork such as painting, Chinese calligraphy, photography, short videos etc. We will also continue to publish them in future articles so please send us your inspiration.
