Senior officials from the Sanjiadian Primary School in Mentougou District paid a visit to the BDS on 14 August to exchange views with the BDS executives and were met by Zhong Weimin and Yu Jia, Director and Deputy Director of the General Affairs Office of the BDS Party Committee, and Xiao Ling, Secretary of the BDS Youth League Committee. The two sides reviewed the achievements of the partnership building since 2012 and discussed the use and future use plan for the donated funds as well as the forthcoming agenda of implementation of the partnership building plan.


The school authorities began by expressing their appreciation for the financial and material support from the BDS since the onset of the partnership. As the school is mostly composed of children from migrant workers’ families, the BDS volunteers have made numerous trips to the school to host events of English tutoring, organize cultural presentations, provide school kits and conduct book donation activities, thereby offering moral and material support to the children in the past year. Established in 1914, the Sanjiadian Primary School is one of the first “modern” education institutions and the only one whose location has remained unchanged in the Mentougou District. As this year marks the 100thanniversary of the founding of the school, the priorities of the school authorities include how to make good use of the donated funds to help the disadvantaged children and award the exceptionally-performing students, how to help the children to grow up and how to improve the quality of teaching and the children personality building practices by organizing a series of commemorative events. The school authorities also hoped that the BDS could consider making it the base and platform of training and education for young BDS staffs and employees to get acquainted with the grassroots life and social realities in the countryside.

Mr. Zhong responded by pointing out that the BDS, as an institution contributing to the “Spiritual Civilization Construction” in Beijing, always attached great importance to the core value of socialism in the construction of corporate culture as well as the establishment of the awareness of corporate social responsibility among staff and employees. By entering into the partnership with the school, it was hoped that efforts could be made to help the children establish the correct sense of value so that they could grow up happily and healthily.

The conversation went in a pragmatic and pleasant manner and is expected to play a very positive role in pushing forward the upcoming partnership building agenda.
