SPOTLIGHT CHENGDU Ivy MI Kindergarten Three Thousand Castle Campus Ivy MI Kindergarten First City Campus Proudly wearing their bright orange “Week for Change” head bandanas and red campus uniform, students from Ivy MI Kindergarten Three Thousand Castles Campus and First City Campus participated in a charity run – “Week for Change”, by running on the streets with their parents. To the kids, the charity run is a happy event. Though the route is pretty long for them, both kids and parents are active because they all want to raise funds to help people in need. “We are just running around the community, because we can attract more people to join us,” said Chen Pengduo, Campus Director of Ivy MI Kindergarten Three Thousand Castles Campus. “Through Week for Change, we wish to teach children about our core values of caring and service, and tell them that no matter how old you are, you can make your own contributions to helping other people and making this world a better place. It’s our sincere hope that ‘Week for Change’ can give our kids strength and opportunity to change the world.” Ivy MI Kindergarten Three Thousand Castle campus raised 2,900 RMB. They donated their funds to “Tianxian Bao Bao”, an organization that helps children afflicted with spinal curvatures. Finally, Ivy MI Kindergarten First City Campus raised over 4,800 RMB to help purchase warm beddings for the elderlies in community and daycare centers. We are truly proud of all of our students’ amazing effort! 15
