Seeds of Hope Charity

Seeds of Hope

• Seeds of Hope is a charity created by Yew Chung

International School (YCIS).

• The charity was formed in partnership with the China

Youth Development Foundation.

The Beginning of a Charity

• After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, all YCIS schools

collected money to send to those in the devastated

region.

• Inspired by the charitable efforts of each school, YCIS

decided to continue it’s charity projects through the

creation of ‘Seeds of Hope’.

Seeds of Hope Schools

• Each year, a ‘Seeds of Hope’ school is built to provide

education for underprivileged children in rural areas of

China.

• These schools are then supported by the YCIS schools

through visits and further donations of funds and

educational equipment.

Minzhu Primary School

• After the Sichuan earthquake, YCIS Schools helped

raise funds to rebuild the earthquake-damaged Minzhu

Primary School.

Qufu Seeds of Hope School

• The first official ‘Seeds of Hope’ school was built in Qufu

in Shandong province.

• The Qufu Hope School now provides education to 500

children, from 6 different villages.

• In May 2012, students from YCIS visited the children of

the Qufu Hope School, built a library and donated books.

Hebei Seeds of Hope School

• The second Seeds of Hope school was built in Hebei

Province.

• Every time our teachers and students visit the Seeds of

Hope school, they donate educational resources, play

games and teach the local children.

Guangdong Seeds of Hope School

• The third ‘Seeds of Hope’ school was built in Shaoguan,

Guangdong Province in 2014.

Future Project

• The next location for a Seeds of Hope school will be

Chongqing!

How Do We Raise Funds

• All students, staff and parents raise fund though:

• Charity projects such as bake sales, talent shows and

community events throughout the year.

• We have an annual Seeds of Hope concert in one YCIS

school with all proceeds going towards our charity.

The Benefits For Our Students

• YCIS students also benefit from this charity:

• It provides Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) projects for

Secondary students.

• It teaches students to care for others and their society

• It creates great relationships with communities, local

students and other charity organisations

Our Motto

• YCIS will align with love and charity

• This motto is part of all YCIS Schools in which character

education is taught as a vital pillar in our curriculum.

• We don’t want to educate future leaders, we want to

educate future leaders who care about their society.
