Afterschool Program at Qingpu

On 10th September 2013, an afterschool program started at Qingpu as we learnt that most of the migrant children do not have a proper place at home for them to do their homework and the parents are not able to help at all. There are about 20 children each time from age 7 to 13. We have seven student volunteers from Shanghai Zheng Fa University who take turns to come to the centre to help tutor. Other volunteers, Grace Li, Yang Qiuqian and Liyan also come regularly to assist with their English and Mathematics homework. Some students will bring their Chinese book and ask the volunteers to help recite for them which shows that trust is developed through the process of caring. At the end of the session, the children with a smile thank the volunteers for their help.
