Charity fair held at Sunlake Park

The "Lantern Festival" Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition of Jiangbei District as well as the charity fair themed on "charity and education" was held at the Sunlake Park at 8 oclock on February 21. This is the first charity fair organized by Baisha Street in the new year, and all the money raised will be used to help the 100 students in need from four schools in the area to realize their "micro wishes".

At the fair, all the 26 primary and secondary schools in Jiangbei District had their own booths, displaying their featured items, such as prints, paper-cutting, clay modeling, calligraphy, DIY lanterns and palm leaf articles. At the booth of the Jiangbei Central Primary School, the students were making ink and wash paintings on gourds, oil-paper umbrellas, cups and bookmarks with the theme of "childrens rhythm in ink and wash painting". Mao Chengxuan, a member of the Art Club of the school, was engaged in painting on an oil-paper umbrella. "We have prepared a lot for the fair. We went to many places and visited various kinds of sceneries, and then we are now just drawing out all the people, things and scenes to share with others." said Mao.

The items at the booth of the Zhuangqiao Central Primary School were sold out within two hours. "It is quite out of our expectation." said Guan Yiyi, the leading teacher of the school. The items they brought to the fair are mainly some pearl mud photo frames and pencil vases, and some rattan plaited pendants, all made by the members of the creative art club of the school.

"It is quite meaningful for the students to make wealth by their hands and raise money for those in need." said a person in charge from Jiangbei District Bureau of Education.

It is reported that about 16,600 yuan was raised by this charity fair, jointly organized by Jiangbei District Party Committee, the Civilization Office of Jiangbei District, Jiangbei District Bureau of Education and Baisha Street. The use of the raised money will be announced at the public Wechat platform of the "Baisha Volunteers" for public supervision.
