BRS in Action: Sunvillage Charity Fair

On February 25, 2018, BRS proudly hosted the Sunvillage Charity Fair. Many BRS teachers, both Chinese and foreign, participated in the Fair, which found everyone thinking about what else could be done to help the Village. Altogether, 20 pieces of hand-embroidery, made by children of Sunvillage, 50 boxes of snacks and 100 boxes of organic strawberries grown in Sunvillage were sold on campus.

On March 5, BRS leaders and students went to Sunvillage in Shunyi District and donated all proceeds from the Fair to the village. They also spent a memorable day interacting and playing with the children and watching them perform Chinese Kung Fu. All were touched by the children’s strength of character and optimistic outlook on life which motivates them into being self-starters. From the smallest of things we can make the world a better place for all.

Sunvillage is a non-profit and non-governmental organization which is dedicated to the physical survival and personal development of the children of Chinese convicts.
