We have participated in more than 300 "Mr. De" and volunteers. Volunteers came from all over the country. In the past, there are well-known personalities in the fields of college students, painters, famous musicians, martial arts champions, celebrities, TV presenters, writers, media professionals, civil servants, corporate executives and other fields.

The end of each issue of the German Foundation has been lingering with school teachers and children, and there is a "Mr. De" saying that support for education has sequelae. Mr. Hei Nan explained: It is not a sequelae of teaching. When it is needed by others, you have done a little thing worth remembering. The reason for your happiness is due to giving. When collective giving, sharing will exaggerate happiness. Imagine, In the future, if you see a group of young people standing up on a bus to make a seat for the elderly, the weak, and the disabled, and seeing people take away garbage automatically, in such a society, who would remember to go to talk about this little thing, because they are used to people Convenience.

In addition, "Mr. De" adhering to the concept of "giving people and fish is better than teaching people and fish", so many principals said, "How good would it be if you are teachers in our school!" The answer: "What we do is a drop of water. The German Foundation continues to pay attention, and the rural teachers are the guardians of the children's childhood. I hope more people will act and let more" Mr. De "go to the village to assist Rural children grow up, let the drip drip into the river. "Yes, the German fund is also a small bunch, but we persist in our efforts, because we firmly believe in" accumulating small good, Cheng Maode ", so" Mr. De "proud, Touched, proud because we did it, moved because there are still many people with us.

Deutsche Fund will continue to uphold the purpose of "accumulate small good, become Chengde" proposed by Mr. Chen Yu, Chairman of Maode Gong Group and founder of Deutsche Fund. By gathering caring people to teach art courses to rural elementary school students and exchange art with rural children, Strive to achieve the common growth of the German Foundation and rural art support education. People say: There is always a reward for giving. The return of the "Mr. De" is the healthy and happy growth of the children and the sublimation of their hearts. "Mr. De" used his enthusiasm to broaden the horizons of the children and encouraged them to fly further.

Although it is only a week, we still pay close attention to those schools and children who have taught.

Xiaoshan heart feast, let love go straight

On the afternoon of October 28, 2012, the German Foundation hosted the "German Foundation First Anniversary Charity Banquet" charity meeting in Maode Gongcao, convening loved ones to sell idle goods and donating peer-to-peer donations to Leizhou, Guangdong, which was taught by the German Foundation Six remote primary schools in Dapu, Chuxiong, and other places have helped rural primary schools improve their teaching environment.

The charity fundraising of "Xiaoshanxinyan Ban" is divided into three forms: charity sale, pledging and auction of artist works. The bazaar items on the "Xiaoshan Bazaar" at the bazaar were so colorful that they attracted a lot of loved guests to buy, and some even pledged on Sina Weibo in advance. The simple rural elementary school repeatedly played on the big screen at the bazaar site, the eyes of the children who were eager, and the touching scenes of support also deeply touched everyone present. Entrepreneurs pledged donations to help the construction of the rural elementary school. The artists also generously offered their works for auction. Mr. Luo Yongping donated the shadow play "Ms. Dexian", the landscape painter Mr. Sun Jinlong donated two calligraphy paintings, and the German fund friend Ms. Beard Jing donated two artworks and interior designer Even Mr. Jun's interior design successfully participated in the auction.

Desk drifting

In December 2012, the tenth art support education of German Foundation went into Huaiji Fude Primary School in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. All the desks in Fude Elementary School are still old desks from 20 to 30 years ago, and some have even been teetering. At that time, Mr. Xie Huigan, the leader of Mr. De, and his friends deployed 180 sets of new desks for Fude Elementary School. The old desk was brought back to Maode Gongcao by the German Foundation. Although these desks are old, the traces on the desks are indeed of historical value. How can we save these valuable and meaningful desks? How to focus the love of more people on the children of Shancun Primary School?

German fund founder Chen Yu put forward the "school desk drifting note" ^[1], a new public welfare concept, that is, exchange the new desks for the old desks of the 70s and 80s of the last century, and then pass these old desks The online and offline subscription methods drifted and used the raised funds to purchase new school desks for the children of Shancun Elementary School ... In May 2013, after the German Foundation published the subscription information on Weibo , The famous host Mr. Chen Yang became the first person to subscribe to the old desk. On the night when he moved back to the desk, Teacher Chen Yang said on Weibo, "Do you remember the gesture of raising your hand to speak? Do you remember the deep engraving in the middle of your desk? From 1974- In 1979, I taught for five years in front of a school desk in a mountainous area. I did not expect that in the past few decades, children in mountainous areas still use such desks. Deutsche Fund made a great desk drifting Plan. I moved this desk home. "

At the same time, Deutsche Fund also invited six artists to create old desks, and made a colorful stroke for "School Drifting". Mr. Jiang Yue, deputy director of the Guangdong Museum of Art, created the work "Favorites" based on his mother's love; Mr. Luo Yongping, a well-known designer and returnee painter, created "Fruit", pinning his expectations on the children: May the children be able to There is a fruitful tomorrow; Mr. Sun Jinlong, a well-known landscape painter and co-founder of Germany Fund, splayed "Colorful Life" and "Love in the Eighth and Eighth Lines" on the desk, hoping that the children will have a colorful and colorful Life; biographer Mr. Chen Wen cleverly created "Forest" on the back of the desk drawer, the creative idea is that the children can one day grow into a towering tree; "the man who plays with wood" Mr. Liu Fanggang, his " "Years" not only retains the original appearance of the table, but also puts emphasis on the other parts of the desk. The work is both modern and innocent. Mr. Guo Chenghui, a contemporary artist and well-known designer, ingeniously extends the life of the desk and changes the class. The original function of the table, and named this artwork "Black Garden", the most moving is that Mr. Guo Chenghui also found a 33 years His oil painting in the Affiliated Academy of Fine Arts and a work 33 years later are set on such an old desk, which makes people understand his perception of this work more deeply: only time is black, two Works from different ages are presented together on this desk, "it will wait for the beginning of the story of another time".

On the day of Children's Day, at the fifth "Old Children's Playful Children's Day" event held in Maode Gong's Thatched Cottage, "Favorite" was auctioned by Ms. Kang Jiantang for 8,000 yuan, and "Fruit" was auctioned by Ms. Yu Ping for 5,000 yuan Yes, "Colorful Life" was shot by Ms. Hue Jing for 6,500 yuan, "Forest" was shot by Mr. Chen Rong for 5,000 yuan, Ms. "Times" was shot for 7500 yuan, and "Black Garden" was shot by Mr. Hong Qing for 12000 Yuan Yuan, "The Love of the March Eighth Line" was taken by Mr. Chen Rouhao for 8,000 yuan. It is particularly worth mentioning that Mr. Sun Jinlong's "The Love of the March Eighth Line" was actually created after the auction. At the auction site, Mr. Chen Roohao failed to "grab" the auction in time, so he specifically asked Mr. Sun to book it for him. Made an old desk work. In addition, there are caring people @ , @ and Ms. Shen Taolei who have learned about the "Desk Fund" "Desk Drifting" plan, and supported them with actions, each subscribing to the old desk. set.

So far, "School Desk Drift" has produced a total of 7 artist-created works, 4 sets of old desks, and raised a total of 56800 yuan. All charitable funds will be used to replace the desks of rural primary schools in the future and will be announced in a timely manner. Usage.

Desk pledge

Chaping Elementary School, Toyota Township, Xinning County, Shaoyang, Hunan is the 13th Art Support Education School of the German Foundation. In April 2013, staff of the German Foundation visited the Chaping Elementary School to see the school desks used by the children of Chaping Primary School. The chair is an old school desk left over from the 1960s and 1970s that may "fall apart" at any time. After careful communication and discussion with the principal, the German Foundation decided to use the Weibo WeChat platform to launch a "desk donation" activity.

In the morning of April 23rd, after the launch of the "school desk pledge" for Hunan Chaping Primary School on Weibo and WeChat platforms, it immediately attracted attention from all walks of life, and the response was very enthusiastic. One set of new desks is 100 yuan, one set, two sets, ten sets, all of which are full of love. In just two hours, Deutsche Fund has raised 171 sets of desks, far exceeding the previous expectations. 94 sets. Although we have repeatedly told you that it is enough, there are still good friends of the German Foundation who continue to donate, saying that it is possible to buy table tennis tables and other sports supplies for the children of Chaping Elementary School. On May 5, 2013, the German Foundation came to Chaping Elementary School, sent a new desk, and carefully wrote the name of the donor on the desk. This is one of the ways we rely on the public good: let us trust everyone.

The German Foundation brought back 94 sets of old desks from Chaping Elementary School. These old desks will become the protagonists of the "table drift meter".

The 21st support school of the German Foundation, like the Xiahuang Primary School in Chihu Town, Zhangzhou, Fujian, is the same as the Chaping Primary School in Hunan. The children s classrooms are simple and the desks are shabby. In one case, like Chaping Elementary School, immediately returned to use the Weibo WeChat platform to launch a "school desk pledge."

On April 19, 2014, the German Foundation launched a "Pledge for School Desks" campaign on Weibo and WeChat, calling on people in love to donate desks for Xiahuang Primary School. Like every time in the past, the pledging desk activity has been enthusiastically supported by people from all walks of life. When the number of 110 sets required by Xiahuang Elementary School was reached, it was only two hours before we released the news, with an average of 1 minute and 20 seconds. A new set of desks and chairs was pledged.

Although we announced the pledge in full in time, there are still people who continue to pledge, and this number eventually reaches 145 sets. After communicating with the principal and some of the donors, we will place 10 new desks and chairs in the multimedia classroom, and the remaining 25 desks and chairs will be worth a total of 3,000 yuan. We have purchased wireless microphones, outdoor table tennis tables and It was reserved for the principal to buy a desk and chair reserve of 945 yuan, which will be reserved for the next semester when there are many enrollments. There are 6 podium tables donated by caring people. As in the past, we also write the names of the donors on the desks and podiums. ^[2]

Hundred Wall Project

The school's fence is a barrier to children's safety at school, but in Chaping Primary School, Toyota Township, Xinning County, Shaoyang, Hunan, one building and four classrooms have no concrete floor, no fence, no sports place, and rural graves are scattered on the campus. around

Previously, Mr. Chen Yu, the founder of "German Fund", reported on the "Xiaoxiang Morning Post" that he reported on the teachers of Shaoyang Bitian Primary School and Chaping Primary School in Hunan, and asked the staff to contact the two schools through various channels. In February, after a field visit by staff of the German Foundation, it was decided to carry out the 13th phase of support activities in the two primary schools at the same time.

In May 2013, the German Foundation came to Bitian and Chaping Primary School in Shaoyang, Hunan. In addition to bringing art support to the children, the German Foundation donated 33,390 yuan, and Ms. Kang, a caring person, and friends from the Shunde Water Blowing Association At 15500, we helped Chaping Elementary School build a playground and set up a rebound. The children finally had their own playground.

Seeing that Chaping Elementary School does not have a school fence, Mr. Chen Yu proposed the "Baijia Wall" plan ^[3] , hoping that everyone would do it together, just like the traditional Chinese saying "Bai Jia Yi", rich money to donate money, to contribute Everyone worked together to build the "Hundred Walls". After the plan was proposed, all the villagers and young people in Chaping Village actively participated. So far, 56770 yuan has been raised, but the entire project (school walls and gates) requires 65660 yuan, a difference of 8890 yuan. Deutsche Fund immediately released this message, and received the loving response of many caring people: Chen Xueru and Xu Jiaojiong donated 1,000 yuan, anonymous caring people donated 1,000 yuan, Mr. Chen Xiaoyu donated 200 yuan, and Mr. Feng Huaming donated 50 yuan.

This is a collection of love, which has made a good rural campus. Ji Xiaoshan, Cheng Maode, I hope more love comes together.

Art auction (photography)

Framed art works from the fourth grade children of Leizhou Peninsula Mating Elementary School taught by the "German Fund" were auctioned at the event. The instructor of these works was "Mr. De" Zhang Yawen. She was an ordinary but A very caring preschool teacher. Fine art works are divided into three series for auction: "Printing and Dyeing, Gongbi Painting Series", "Creative Grain Series", "Creative Wine Bottle Series"; each of the young but creative paintings surprised and delighted the viewers. It is the work of children who have never taken a formal art class. Perhaps this is also the original intention of Mr. Chen Yu, the founder of the German Foundation, to insist on teaching in rural arts: Although the quality education of the children in the village may not be comparable to the children in the city, the children in the village are equally smart, cute and excellent; they are also Hope for the motherland!

A total of 40 student works participated in the "Children's Painting Auction". In the manager of Maode Gong's Thatched Cottage, Zeng Miner, the head of the German Fund, first reported to you the ambassadors of the "Small Charity Banquet" of German Fund on October 28, 2012

The use of the situation and affectionately introduce the children's creative process. After that, through the professional auction of "Mr. De" Yao Yuandong, most of the works were successfully auctioned; some works were even loved by people such as @ @ @ , @fly_ , @ took photos, and even fans in Inner Mongolia contacted the organizer to take one of the students' works as soon as possible. Sincerely, it moved people; painter Luo Yongping's daughter Luo Guanxin even took out her own shadow play to participate in the auction of love, which was taken by @ for 1,200 yuan. The whole "Children's Painting Auction" raised a total of RMB 16,219 (after deducting the mounting fee).

On May 14, 2013, the German Foundation returned to Mating Elementary School and donated the donation to the school. Among them, the fourth grade children of Mating Elementary School distributed a 100 yuan draft fee each, which may be the children's lifetime. The significance of the first draft is self-evident.

Accompany Yaan

At 8: 2 on April 20, 2013, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Lushan County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, and a total of 383,000 people were affected. In the face of the disaster, the German fund thought: What can we do for Yaan? After careful consideration, we decided to accompany the children in the disaster area.

So the German fund began to look for "accompaniers" and began to create "accompaniers." Since the announcement of the recruitment of companion Weibo, Deutsche Fund has received registrations from many caring people, and invited Dr. Zhang Manlin, a psychological counseling expert from Boman Psychology, and Zhou Dang, a psychological counseling expert from the Chinese Psychoanalysis Federation and Guangdong Oriental Psychoanalysis Research Center. Teacher Wei, post-disaster assistance psychological exchanges for enrolled companions: what can we do? How do we do it? How will we do it to face the children in the disaster area? ...

On June 19, 2013, the staff of the German Foundation went to Lushan County, Ya'an City to conduct a field inspection: the dilapidated houses with demolition written were still in operation, and the resettlement sites for the victims were almost full of vacant land. The playground of Lushan Elementary School was board houses, accounts Peng ... After talking with the principal of the local school, the German Foundation decided to go to Luyang No. 2 Primary School to support art teaching after the school started in September. This is an unusual support, and it is more of a company. In the school playground occupied by the board room and tent, we are warm to each other in the form of music, painting, martial arts, storytelling, and games.

"Sunshine Playground" Project

Xiahuang Elementary School, Chihu Town, Zhangzhou, Fujian, is a 21st art support school of the German Foundation. The school has only one teaching building, the playground is sandy, and there is no sports facilities. When it rains, the playground becomes muddy Unbearable, children cannot exercise on the playground.

On May 6, 2014, Mr. Chen Yu, the founder of Deutsche Fund, came to the school and saw this situation. He said on the spot that he would launch the "Sunshine Playground" program ^[2] and donated 50,000 yuan to the start-up fund of Xiahuang Primary School to build a playground. Hope Children can exercise happily in the sun. After knowing this, Shunde, a good friend of the German Fund, donated 5,000 yuan to participate in the "Sunshine Playground" program.

The "Sunshine Playground" program will be a long-term public welfare project of the German Foundation. In the future, if we go to a rural elementary school that also needs to solve the problem of playgrounds, the German Foundation will continue this program.
