In February, the spring breeze caresses the face, and the atmosphere of the New Year permeates the air. The children in the countryside also welcome the start of the new semester. In this season full of hope, round eggs still quietly accompany the children, becoming the warm guardians in their campus life. In the new year, we look forward to everyone's joint attention to the nutritional health of rural children. Let each egg turn into a force of love, adding a guarantee of health to the children's future and helping them thrive.

Story
The 1095-day Journey of an Egg: See How Rural Children Break Out of the Shell and Embrace a New Life
Guiyuan Public Welfare Development Promotion Association in Zhenxiong County — Boya Kindergarten in Huashan Township
"The little saplings have finally straightened up!" Director Deng opened the yellowed medical examination booklet: "The average height of the children in the senior class has increased by 2 centimeters, and there are no more children with anemia. The previous anemia rate was as high as 12%."
At six o'clock in the morning, the mountain mist has not yet dissipated, and wisps of cooking smoke are already drifting out of the kitchen of Boya Kindergarten in Huashan Township. In the boiling water pot, those eggs are rolling gurglingly. Hey, these are the warmest "little alarm clocks" for the children deep in the mountains.
Three years ago, when the first box of eggs arrived here after traveling over the winding mountain roads, who could have imagined that these ordinary, white and round eggs could be so closely tied to the growth of our children and hold so many surprises?
"The little saplings have finally straightened up!" Director Deng opened the yellowed medical examination booklet: The average height of the children in the senior class has increased by 2 centimeters, and there are no more children with anemia. The previous anemia rate was as high as 12%. During the break exercises, the children who used to be listless and were like "bean sprouts" are now lively and bouncing around, chasing and playing, full of energy. The village doctor is also happy, saying that the white crescents that disappeared on the children's fingernails are slowly reappearing.
