Educate and Equip Girls in Rural China

A Letter from Keyu, a CWEF scholarship recipient whom your donations support:

My name is Keyu. I'm a 17-year-old high school student. My father died in an accident when I was 14 years old, which was a heavy blow to me and my family. There are six people in my family.

I was born in a poor family, but also in a beautiful society. When my parents grew up, they could not afford books, which led to the end of their education in primary school. Now, the national compulsory education gives many of our children the opportunity to enjoy too many educational resources. I am very lucky to be born in this era, when education can change my fate. As a high school student who is about to graduate, I am anxious and hopeful for the future. I am pursuing admission into an ideal university. I want to give my mother a good life. I am very grateful to my country and my family. 

I often fantasize about my future life and hope that my mother will live well. I want to be a very successful person. Even though I am ordinary now, I still want to grow up and become different. 

My father was always a person I admired. I think that I learned to drive a car mostly because of my father, who passed the driving license when I was very young. His driving skills made me feel very safe. So I always wanted to be like him. My father was sometimes meticulous and serious, but he would use the only money left in the house to buy a few kilograms of mutton to eat at home in the winter. Many memories have a deep impact on me. I am very grateful to my family. My mother is also an excellent person, and has a great impact on me. 

I am very grateful for the precious opportunity given by the foundation. Thank the country and society, Thank you for the kindness that this golden age has also given us. China is a country with warmth. Poverty makes our starting point backward, but I believe that as long as we persist, we will achieve what we are pursuing. Many people around me are either poor or rich, but I find that heaven has not given up anyone. I realize that the poor can also be very smart, even if they have not seen too much; they still have smart minds. As long as they dare to fight, they are also "rich." 

Finally, I still want to thank my motherland, thank you! Your support and love are also the greatest help and encouragement to me. Here, I would like to thank you with respect for everyone who is helping with the "development of youth education". I sincerely thank each of you, thank you! Thank you for your help. I am very grateful! I also wish you all the best!
