Every kindness blossoms | The 2024 TAS New Year's Charity Sale Donation Record

Do you remember last year's New Year's bazaar on campus near New Year's Day, where various aromas wafted in the air?
The miracle created by all TAS teachers, students and parents - raising 100,000 yuan, this fund full of love has now turned into four warm lights, illuminating the growth path of several children.
Next, let's open this report card of love across mountains and rivers.

Through the dual-track model of "vocational skills training + art therapy", the Shanghai Rainbow Rain Project has successfully carried out 40 courses and 8 outings from February to April 2025 to help autistic teenagers master practical skills such as intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and baking, and at the same time promote emotional counseling through art forms such as painting and music.

Rainbow Rain creates a platform for autistic families to stay warm, comfort each other, and share resources. By organizing an outing, relax and delight your mood.

Through the learning of vocational skills, the social value of students is reflected, and the vocational pre-emptive ability and life autonomy are cultivated.

Outputs and Outcomes:

• The Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Tower, and Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall held the "March Spring Breeze, Stars Remembering" student painting exhibitions. A total of 14 works of students participated in the 42 Autism Painting Genres of Powerlong Art Museum, so that more people can get close to and understand autistic people and promote social integration.

• Learn how to make four-leaf clover bracelets, learn intangible cultural heritage old cloth coasters, purple sand cup gilding skills, hand-woven flower baskets, banana chocolate muffins, Qingtuan and other dim sum making.

• Organized Lei Feng Day charity sale and Autism Day advocacy activities.

• The sales income of students' paintings is 9,500 yuan, all of which are used to distribute student rewards.

This has formed a positive cycle of "creation-value recognition-continuous investment", which is a practice model of "advantage development" instead of "defect compensation".

From January to March 2025, the Yunnan Student Aid Program will provide psychological motivation and academic support to students in mountainous areas through thematic activities and regular visits. At the end of February, the theme activity "Becoming Strong" used the metaphor of a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, encouraging students to face challenges bravely and reinforcing their positive attitude by making butterfly bookmarks by hand.

Not only that, the project team also went to Chongwen Middle School and Ludian No. 1 Middle School in Ludian, Yiliang and other places, and on March 5, volunteers including Ludian Chongwen Middle School, Ludian No. 2 Middle School and 7 students from the Vocational Education Center met and gathered.

On March 29, volunteers visited 12 students from Ludian No. 1 Middle School.

On April 6, volunteers visited the students who had completed the college entrance examination at Yiliang Vocational High School and Yiliang No. 1 Middle School.

These activities not only convey knowledge and skills, but more importantly, build emotional connections. Just like a butterfly, "every life needs to be strong in struggle", the Yunnan Student Aid Program is helping young people in mountainous areas to break through environmental restrictions and realize the transformation from "passive acceptance" to "active growth" with systematic psychological construction and long-term companionship mechanism, so that education assistance can truly touch the depths of the soul.

At the beginning of 2025, with the strong support of caring units such as the Shanghai Pudong New Area Private Renewal School, the "Ark Home" project of the Ark Care Organization has handed over a heart-warming report card. During the period from January to February, the project team managed transparently and invested the raised funds in three core areas: providing stable accommodation for families seeking medical treatment in other places, ensuring the normal operation of basic living facilities, and purchasing necessary daily necessities, effectively solving the most urgent survival needs of 8 families with severe illnesses during treatment in Shanghai.

Among these beneficiary families, we see the most tenacious appearance of life: Hao Hao, a 13-year-old child with leukemia, remains optimistic despite the suffering of kidney failure; Kaikai, who has experienced a high amputation, motivates himself every day with "today will be better than yesterday"; Lehrer, a burn patient, and his single mother, who has lost the ability to work, support each other at the Ark House; 10-year-old Xiaoyuan cooperated with treatment with his sensible beyond his age to share the pressure for single mothers. What is particularly touching is that the project not only provides basic living guarantees, but also pays more attention to the details of humanistic care - equipped with special kitchen facilities for children with intestinal obstruction, so that mothers can prepare special diets for their daughters; Witnessing the success of the re-examination after the rehabilitated young students return to school is the best confirmation of the long-term value of the project.

In the orphan relief medical project jointly carried out by Shanghai Cimeng Public Welfare Foundation and our school, your donation has turned into a life-changing miracle. In 2025, we visited four children who were treated in Shanghai to witness the flower of hope blooming in the midst of suffering.

Specifically, the donation from our school helped Yeon-yeon undergo surgery to remove part of her foot, which was born deformed and underdeveloped. Several of Yanyan's children living in Shanghai are Yanyan's children, who are Yanyan's connected to the same disease, both of them are abnormalities in the joints caused by hypertrophy of the soles of the feet. Yuan Yuan was born with skeletal and muscular deformities, but instead of being discouraged, he is learning how to read so that he can one day get a job. Huahua child is 3 years old this year, he suffers from congenital Down syndrome, heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, Down syndrome, developmental delay and other underlying diseases, from August to October, several times hospitalized for severe lung infection, fortunately at the end of November, he finally had heart repair surgery, hospitalized for a month and successfully discharged, postoperative pulmonary hypertension has improved a lot, but still needs long-term medication, regular re-examination; Qianqian was born in good health, but at the age of 3, she hit her head, causing severe brain damage. She couldn't walk or talk, and her family couldn't take care of her, so they sent her to an orphanage, where she is now learning to walk and talk, and Jimeng's goal is to send her back to her family once she has regained these abilities.

We will continue to follow up on the progress of the children's recovery, so that the relay of love will never be interrupted. We look forward to your continued attention to the growth stories of these winged angels and witness the miracles created by love.
