Students learning.
I just remember how these children were just like my brother and I, happy, smiling. However, the environment in which they learned in was vastly different, and I wish I could do something to make it better for them. At the time, there wasn't anything I could really do as a 13 year old. But now I think I can finally do something to help! Our founder, Jennifer Zhang
