| Educational assistance for children in remote rural villages |
|
Thin & High members have traveled all over China to
facilitate the education of children without proper schooling. This poster was produced after a cultural study and educational
assistance trip to the Da Tong Ma Tibetan District. Thin & High’s founder, Bernard Yang, is an
advisor of the Xinhuo Volunteer Teaching Group at the Huaibei Coal Industry Teachers College. Xinhuo currently has 200 student members and they travel to 5 poor rural elementary schools by
bus every Wednesday to teach music, arts and physical education, which are not offered in the
minimal curriculum. Xinhuo members also visit schools in other regions to understand the issues facing China's education system.

Thin & High has granted scholarship to
10 needy students of the Xinhuo Volunteer Teaching Group in an effort to help develop
educators that will improve China’s rural education system.
