Youth May Fourth Medal | Zhang Xiaoyan: Ignite the flame of hope for left-behind children

For a long time, Zhang Xiaoyan has been committed to the public welfare cause of caring for rural left-behind children, and in 2016, she self-raised 100,000 yuan to establish the Future Star Left-behind Children's Home, and built the first social organization in Minle County to care for left-behind children as the main group, caring for more than 1,200 left-behind children and hosting 82 left-behind children. In 2019, it raised 300,000 yuan to build a 2,000-square-meter "Future Star Child Care Center" in the Minle County Child Welfare Center, expanding the service targets from left-behind children to orphans and children in distress, establishing an individual file database for 325 children in distress and carrying out follow-up maintenance, accumulatively caring for more than 3,000 children, hosting 312 left-behind children, and distributing a total of 2 million yuan in bursaries and love funds, playing an active role in poverty alleviation.

Teach people tirelessly, build bridges of the soul

Zhang Xiaoyan was a former private teacher who taught at Sibao Primary School in Liuba School District for 4 years and Yuzhan Hope Primary School in Sanbao Town for 3 years. Due to the forced by life, the couple can not take care of the children outside for many years, the child lives with the grandparents, although she can eat and wear warm, but can not use the correct educational method to let the children develop good living habits, because of the long-term lack of family care, the child's personality is weak and introverted, inferior and lonely, every time she visits back, she is full of guilt, and the mood cannot be calm for a long time. When she found that most parents in the surrounding area were going out to work in order to make money, the pain of separation was also unbearable for all parents of left-behind children in rural areas. These children live with elderly grandparents or grandparents, they spend less time with their parents, and grandparents neglect to supervise, resulting in various problems for these left-behind children. In order to make up for this deficiency, let the left-behind children live under the same blue sky as other children, share a piece of sunshine of family education, but also so that these parents who cannot take care of their children can work in the distance with peace of mind and make money with peace of mind, in April 2016, she self-financed the second floor of the Liuba Village Committee, carefully planned to set up the "Liuba Town Left-behind Children's Home", built a platform for social communication and interaction with children's hearts, cared for more than 1,200 left-behind children, and hosted 82 left-behind children. The children's home has a library reading room, an assignment counseling room, a psychological counselor, a family corner, a music room, and a kitchen. In view of the difficulties of left-behind children in remote villages in attending school, dormitories for men and women have been set up, and there are duty rooms outside, accompanied by special personnel to ensure the safety of left-behind children. In order to enrich children's lives and stimulate children's potential, specially hired professional teachers have been hired to carry out activities such as gourd silk, electronic organ, dance, painting and other artistic activities for left-behind children, and the orderly development of various cultural and sports activities has made the left-behind children's home truly become a home for left-behind children who are willing to enter, love to play, and enjoy learning.

Treat yourself as your own son, the sunshine of love

With the support and help of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Minle County, the County Political and Legal Committee, the Youth League County Committee, the Women's Federation and other departments and the Liuba Town Government, Zhang Xiaoyan actively explored a new model of care for left-behind children in rural areas, adopted the parent entrusted management system, and carried out all-round care and management of the study, life, and personality of left-behind children. So far, a total of more than 3,000 children have been cared for, and 312 left-behind children have been cared for, including those whose parents are divorced, who are under the supervision of grandparents, and whose parents or one of them has worked outside the home for a long or short period of time. Strict requirements for children in learning, but like a mother in life, care and care. Her meticulous care for the children and meticulous work, and her perseverance in this cause, in exchange for the children's dependence and gratitude to her, the high evaluation and praise of her colleagues, and the recognition of her by all walks of life.

Find the shining point and pave the way for emotions

Since the establishment of the "Left-behind Children's Home", Zhang Xiaoyan, as a good teacher and loving mother for left-behind children, has worked with her loving team to help left-behind children find the love away from their parents, so that they can feel the warm affection everywhere and give children meticulous care. In April 2019, in order to further expand the coverage of child welfare services and promote the healthy development of children's social welfare undertakings in Minle County, orphans, children in distress and left-behind children can grow up healthily and happily under the same blue sky of the motherland like other children. Zhang Xiaoyan raised more than 300,000 yuan to carefully build a 2,000-square-meter "Minle County Future Star Child Care Center" in the county child welfare center built by the county civil affairs bureau, recruiting 6 teachers and training 2 social workers to care for orphans in the county, children in distress and left-behind children in the five villages around the flood town and urban areas. She led the staff to go to the village, investigate and visit, visit more than 80 administrative villages, file more than 300 children in distress, establish a long-term mechanism, regularly track maintenance, help and care, and actively link social love resources to give them the help they can, and the total amount of scholarships and love funds and materials reached more than 2 million yuan. At the same time, through project release, project application and other forms, in conjunction with a number of caring enterprises and caring people, a total of 34,000 yuan has been distributed to 61 children in distress in our county. In conjunction with the Hexi College Youth Volunteer Association, a series of social practice activities such as long-term learning and education, interest and specialty cultivation, family companionship, and psychological comfort are carried out for the children who receive love and support.
