August is usually the season of harvest for
many students. However, some students might worry about their tuition when they
receive their college acceptance letter. A few thousand dollars of tuition fee
and transportation fee each year would be a huge burden for their families. To
help these students to achieve their college dream, KFoundation and Hong Kong
Xiang Shan Ju Mu Student Aid Foundation have sponsored 171 underprivileged
students over 6 years.
From August 12th – 14th,
the volunteers of KFoundation traveled to Guangdong Province Shaoguan City from
Shanghai, to visit the underprivileged students.

Shu Ting was the first family the volunteers
visited. She was accepted by Beijing University of International Business and
Economics. Shu Ting’s brother is also the city’s top ten outstanding students.
However, her father was injured at work and her mother had to support the whole
family. Shu Ting looked forward for her college life in the coming September.
It would be a great opportunity for her to study in a big city.
The volunteers then visited Jia Yao, she
admitted this year to Southern Medical University with high grades. She would
be studying traditional Chinese medicine. Jia Yao’s mother and grandmother was sick
at home, the entire family relay on her father alone.
Apart from visiting the students, the
volunteers also chatted with them and to share life advice. These students
endure a lot of pressure compared to their peers, but they are sensible, strong
and willing to change their future through hard work.
