Walk for Children
Our school held a fund-raising event called Walk for Children on Sunday, July 3, 2008. It started at 9:00 a.m. from our school to Haixi Park. Its aim is to help the children who are too poor to go to school. My team members and I finished the walk within 2 hours and we received certificates and souvenirs. We collected 5,000yuan in all. I’ll always remember the experience that I can help make the lives of poor children better.
