When you walk through large and small tunnels, and then walk a section of the national highway that is being constructed on both sides, you will come to the door of the Gaoli Baoan Chunlei Primary School. In the open space in front of the school building, the simple resettlement houses on three sides have not been demolished, and a few days ago, they had been teaching in these simple classrooms for more than two months.
At the end of last year, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck Jishi Mountain in Gansu Province, and the principal kept the photos of the time: the corridors were full of shattered tiles on the walls, the classrooms were full of cracks, and many places exposed the red bricks that had been squeezed and twisted in the walls. The primary school has a total of 13 teachers and 197 students, of which more than 90% are security guards. The children's parents went out to work, and the farthest went to Shenzhen, and some opened a restaurant in Linxia City, dozens of kilometers away, "My parents opened a restaurant in Shenzhen. "My mom and dad are in Baoji, Shaanxi. "My mom and dad are in Lanzhou. "Parents have been to so many places, but none of them have been to those.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, several children were cleaning the campus with brooms. The originally quiet campus became lively with more than a dozen adults in blue vests moving boxes in and out, and these adults in blue vests had four words printed on their backs: "Wanda Volunteers". The children probably won't remember the name, but in fact, there is a music classroom that Wanda has built in their school building. Starting from 2022, Wanda joined in this activity, and after a short ceremony, each child got a love science and technology innovation package, which contained a "paper" that would change faces, a homemade simple thermometer, a small water purification guard, a globe and other small scientific experimental equipment, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to study it.
There are science classes in primary school, but there are still many practical difficulties in Chunlei Primary School, there are not enough instruments, and there are not enough teachers. In addition to the science and technology innovation package, Wanda Hotel's children's book donation project also brought 1,000 picture books and bookshelves. In the fourth-grade classroom, a teacher from the Star Stars charity gave a picture book lesson to the children. This organization is a non-profit organization cooperated by Wanda Hotel, which is responsible for the whole process of selecting funded schools and subsequent library management. A volunteer at the hotel said that after the earthquake last year, they sent a batch of supplies to Chunlei Primary School as soon as possible. Tian Yuliang, the chairman of the board of directors who is nearly 70 years old, also came to Chunlei Primary School, "The old gentleman is so old and runs so far to take the initiative to participate in our activities, which is a recognition of what we have done." ”
According to the relevant person in charge of Wanda Hotel, they have funded many schools in remote places such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan. "It's a sustainable activity, and we usually think about 5 to 10 years of planning, from one point to 50 points, and we will continue to do it. "With the development of business, Wanda Group and its subsidiaries have developed their own fixed public welfare projects based on their advantages.
