Last summer,I visited a school in the countryside.This school was funded by Project Hope.The picture is chosen from the photos I took in the school.I'd like to introduce the reason why I choose the picture.
Education plays a very important role in the development of China. As is known to all, China has the largest population in the world and most of them live in the countryside. Since the economic conditions there are rather poor, many families,especially in the remote areas, cannot afford to send their children to school, many children have to drop from school. The "Project Hope" is aimed at solving this problem so that every child of school age can receive regular education.
The "Project Hope" mainly depends on the contributions of the urban people and overseas Chinese who care about the development of China's education. The contributed money will be distributed by "Project Hope" council to the countryside to help the children who cannot afford the education. One hundred yuan will help such a child finish his primary education.
"Project Hope" is a good way to promote the education in the rural areas, but it is far from being sufficient. By now,only a small portion of the children benefit from it. Therefore,I suggest that government at all levels and people of all walks of life pay more attention to the problem and do much more to help raise the educational level of the country.
