Left-behind primary school students in a remote mountain village

What kind of help does he need?
How can we help?
What can we say to ask for help?
They live in a poor mountain village, have no access to children’s storybooks or new stationery, and want to learn more about the world.
Donations of children’s storybooks, notebooks, pens, and other basic stationery.
Hold a book and stationery donation drive at school next Friday.

Activity 9: Share and assess
Think of someone who needs help. Make a plan like that in Part D1 and then write your own letter asking people to help. Use the letter in Part D2 as a model.
Dear teachers and classmates,
A group of left-behind primary school students in a remote mountain village need our help! Xiao Ming, one of the students, suffers from a lack of reading materials and basic stationery. He and his classmates have never read a colorful storybook, and they often use old, broken pens for their daily studies. It will cost a lot to send new books and stationery to their village, but even small donations can make a big difference. Without these resources, they may never get to know the wonderful world outside their mountain home. Let’s come together to help these children. We are planning a book and stationery donation drive next Friday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the school hall. Bring your unused storybooks, notebooks, or pens to donate. Many hands make light work. If all of us give a helping hand, we can bring more knowledge and joy to these young hearts!
The Students’ Union
