Needs a Scholarship to Study

Liao Xiaoling
Lisa
wants to study tourism in a three year college. Since Yangshuo is a
tourist destination for people from many nations, she should have
no trouble getting a tourist job close to home. The strange rocks
and hills there are admired for their beauty. She took the photo
below on her beautiful high school campus.

My name is Liao Xiaoling. My
family has five people. They are my mother, father, two sisters and
me. I am from a far and poor mountain village.
My parents are
farmers.
My home has little land and
fruit trees. In order to give my two sisters and me a chance to go
to school, they work hard every day, but they still can't pay for
our tuition. Our relatives are not rich, but they know my family is
poor. They deliver some food and some money to
us.

When we studied in middle school, my parents had to borrow much
money from our relatives and our parents' friend, because my family
is too poor. So my two sisters had to leave school to repay the
money to others. In order to let me go to high
school, my parents borrowed more
money.
They have been ill starting from two years ago.
My father's leg has a disease. It is
serious. He had to have an operation, which cost us
much money. My mother's eyes are not good. She
sometimes can't clearly see people and things. Her eyes need much
money to become well, but our home is poor, so we can't help her
eyes.
By the
time I graduated from high school, my parents had borrowed nearly
20,000 yuan ($2,985 USA) from others. My parents hope
I can go to college, and I also want to go to college.
It is my dream. I

studying and want to
learn more knowledge. I want to learn how to become a

I hope to have a chance to go to college and have my dream come
true.

I
Am Proud to Be a Teacher

He Aizhen
When
students in China are not accepted into the college of their choice
they sometimes decide to go back and study another year to get a
better grade and qualify for a better college. Aizhen is one of
those determined students, who would not give up. She returned to
high school twice looking for the best situation and grades to
fulfill her dreams. Now she has been
accepted.

I am He
Aizhen who comes from Qinzhou No.1 Middle School. I have been a
Blessing Hands student since 2005. Blessing Hands gives me big
hands to continue my study, which inspires me all the time.
Whenever and wherever I go, I always remember all applications that
I receive, and I do try my best to help others around
me.
I hope to enter the university to
continue my study, but the tuition in the university is much more
than middle school. What is more, my family is poor, so I need your
support to continue my study in a
university.
As a
matter of fact, I have been a senior 3 student for three years. I
once felt tired and lost my heart to head for a bright future .When
I came back to my poor house and saw my aged father, I knew I had
no reason to say "No" to my
study.
Knowledge is power. Strong
people never give in to difficulties,
right?
I know,
I am not the most cleaver student, but I do
know, as long as I study hard, I will become
better.
Though I have to spend more time and
energies than others, at least, I have enough courage to face the
fact that I might not be admitted to an ideal college or a key university.
Betty said: "Though your dream will come true later than others,
you can use your determination to create your bright
future!"
I live in a poor family. My
mother died when I was nine years old. I have two sisters. My father
is a farmer whose age is more than sixty. The family`s income is
too limited to support my study, so I really need some help.
Without your help, my father cannot afford to send me to a
university.
I am poor, but I never
suspect that everything will not come out bright. What is more, I
do believe that I can help others who are in troubles through my
hands one day. Just as Blessings Hands teaches me " Be thankful
for everything. Pass on love"! Don`t
abandon life. Don't give up. I hope everyone can have dreams come
true and create a wonderful future!
Best wishes to all of
you!
Give to He Aizhen
here.
Yours,
He Aizhen

My family has five people. My
entire family work as farmers and depend on my parents. I have an
older sister who goes to college. Her school expenses take 6000
yuan ($896 USD) every year. Every month the living expenses add
up. We need more and more money. Each time school starts, we
must borrow money in all directions.
My
parents' health is not good. They cannot do heavy labor. I also
will have to go to college now and also need money for many school
expenses. I want to study. Therefore, I hope I can obtain your help
to pull through.

GOOD
NEWS
Liang
Lianyu (Alice) has finally gotten her full scholarship. She can go
to nursing school with a peaceful mind now. She has 4 sponsors. If
you want to share a college scholarship with another sponsor let us
know.
The 8 Blessing Hands students
who have found sponsors are headed off to college about now. Some,
like these girls, are still hoping you will help them and their
families. It is really hard for girls in Asian cultures. They often
are over looked for education, jobs, and life in favor of their
brothers or other boys. They try very hard to succeed. Won't you
help them? They are just as talented and have just as much drive as
boys. Help them help themselves.
Sincerely,
Betty Cutts
Blessing Hands |
