The children of Qing Hai

When we drove back to Jin Yin Tan the second day, what was waiting for me is not the yurt of the Mongol any more, but the children who are in their teenage but in some expect are more adult then me.

With the very limited income to their own families, they were struggling to run the family with their parents, looking after their younger sisters and brothers, and have to keep up with their studies, even competing for the top one position with others.

I could not remember exactly each stories of these young faces, but from their smiles, I could tell they are still teenagers expecting a wonderful life in future despite the hard road lying ahead.

What we can do, is to do something from us who are enjoying a very comfort and joyful life in big city, to give the hope to let them continue their journey towards the life they are dreaming but could not get if they do not have the support from others, to leave the poverty behind.

Thanks my friends and colleagues for giving the chance to have this trip along with them. Actually they are keeping on such charity activities for such a long time solely from their heart without any self benefits. They require anonymous from the others but only want to be continuing the work without outside interference.
