Lily’s Story Lily receives a Scholarship from the Charles Foundation which supports and pays for her education expenses, her living costs and her emotional well-being. She is in Senior School (High School) and lives in the LiangShan region of SiChuan Province. For more information about the region, please click here. To help Lily and other children like Lily, please click here to make a donation. When I was 6 years old. I went to school in the countryside. One year later, a kind - hearted relative took me to her town to attend school, so I can study in Liangshan Ethnic Minority Middle School now. I like school because I can learn many things from school. If I hadn't gone to school, I would have done the heavy work in the farmland all day and I would be ignorant. So I really like to attend to school to learn knowledge. If possible, I really want to go to university to learn more.
I like most of the subjects, such as math, physics, biology and English. But my favorite is English, even though my English is not good, especially spoken English. I want to be able to speak with foreigners fluently.
When I grow up, I want to do many things. First of all I want to support my family and help my mother live a happy life because I think she gives up a lot to support me. Then I will try my best to help the children who are too poor to go to school. What is more, I want to do some contribution to my hometown to improve the people there
Before I joined the Foundation’s Scholarship Fund, on every holiday, I often did something to earn money to pay for my tuition. For example, I have looked after others' babies and they paid me money. Sometimes I felt very tired to work in the daytime and study at night. And I thought I had little time to study. But after I received a Scholarship from the Foundation I don't have to earn money for my tuition. So I have much time to study during holidays and I can study confidently. I am so happy to join in it and so excited to meet you. With your help I think I can learn better.
Lily’s Situation: Lily’s YiZu name is A Jia A Yi Mu. Lily’s father died when she was only 5 years old. She and her older sister attended school until her mother was no longer able to pay for the costs associated with a public, state education. Lily and her family live in a small hut left to them by a deceased relative. Now, Lily receives a Scholarship from the Charles Foundation and can go to school without worrying about tuition, food expenses, clothing costs and living expenses. |
