Knowledge shared, lives changed
Each September, as a new school year begins, students in blue vests gather in the canteen of Shaoxing University (USX) in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province. Standing behind recruitment tables, they invite freshmen to join a volunteer tutoring program that provides free academic support for children from disadvantaged families, particularly those with disabilities.
Eighteen-year-old Wang Sihan slowed down as she passed the booth. "This service is closely aligned with my major," said Wang, a freshman studying early childhood education. "I want to use what I'm learning to help children in need."
What she didn't know was that she was stepping into a tradition nearly three decades old.
