[SECONDARY NEWS] The Zebra Charity Project

Last week, we spoke with Year 13 student Zoe Lin who shared the challenges of spearheading her very own charity project.  

Please introduce the Zebra Project.

The Zebra project is actually a private project organized by YCIS Beijing; it's not connected to any charity. It's called the Zebra Project because the town where the children we help are located is called “ban ma,” which sounds the same as the word for zebra in Chinese but uses different characters. Last year, we donated second hand clothes to children, but this year they asked me to donate simple Chinese books as well. The town is at a very high altitude with an average temperature of -2 degrees and is very impoverished, so I think it's very important that we help them.

在这一期的学生博客里，十三年级学生Zoe Lin将和大家分享自己创立的慈善项目及其带来的挑战。

请你介绍一下斑马项目。

斑马项目是北京耀中国际学校自行创立的慈善项目，独立于其他的外部慈善组织。起名叫做斑马项目，这是因为我们准备帮助的孩子们位于“班马”镇，中文听起来像是动物的“斑马”。去年，我们为孩子们捐赠了很多二手的衣服，今年我们打算募集简体中文书本捐赠给他们。这个城镇位于海拔很高的地方，常年的平均温度是负二摄氏度，非常贫困。因此，我觉得我们帮忙他们很重要。
