/ August 17, 2022 GUANGZHOU -- "If I hadn't come to this event, I would be helping my grandfather pick corn in the field right now." Said Zhao Xin (pseudonym) from Honghezhou No. 1 Middle School in Yunnan Province. From August 8 to August 12, he participated in the "Love Never Stops, Light up the Future-2022 Anta Hope Class Study and Strengthen the Nation's Self Youth" activity in Fujian Province.
The theme of this study camp was "Our Youth Say strong Country". Outstanding student representatives from "Anta Hope Class" shared their dreams with the students. The activity also invited short track speed skating Olympic champion Wu Dajing and outstanding young cadres of Anta to communicate with the students face to face and share their inspirational stories. At the same time, the students also visited Anta 982 Center, science laboratory, Anta Integrated Logistics Park, Hemu Cultural Center, Maritime Silk Road Museum and other places, and gained a lot.
"Anta Hope Class" is a module of Anta Group's "Thrive Public Welfare Plan", with an investment of 3 million yuan, aiming at providing a good learning environment for 3 years, improving living conditions and helping 100 outstanding high school students from poor families from Honghe No. 1 High School in Yunnan Province and Wuhou District High School in Sichuan Province to grow up healthily. A total of 40 Anta Hope Class students from the two schools, including Zhao Xin, participated in the event.
Anta Hope Class:
< P > In recent years, with the development of China's charitable undertakings, more and more public welfare organizations and projects have gradually shifted from the single mode to the comprehensive and multi-dimensional funding stage. "Anta Hope Class" is one of the typical three-dimensional public welfare funding projects. The so-called "unification" refers to the unilateral provision of funds or material assistance to the recipient groups, with the goal of improving their survival or living conditions. Three-dimensional funding refers to the dual public welfare services that include both material assistance and cultural input, starting from the scientific identification of the recipients.
After in-depth investigation, communication on school selection, process standardization and enrollment supervision, Anta Group and China Youth Development Foundation jointly established "Anta Hope Class" in September 2021 in cooperation with Honghe No. 1 Middle School of Yunnan Province and Wuhou District Senior High School of Sichuan Province respectively, which will provide financial support for 100 outstanding middle school graduates from poor families for 3 years in high school. Each student will be funded 8,000 yuan per academic year, and the project will be implemented for 3 years. In addition, sports equipment will be provided, and research and scholarship will be arranged.
From Anta Group's point of view, high school education for poor families is a social issue with both fairness and urgency. Their right to a balanced education can be guaranteed through long-term, sustainable education funding and the intergenerational transmission of family difficulties can be interrupted. At the opening ceremony of the camp on August 9, the students were encouraged to say, "Family difficulties are not the reason for us to grow up and achieve our dreams. We must use our youth to set a goal and work tirelessly towards it. At the same time, in a time of high uncertainty, we should always be optimistic and look at changes in the world in a positive way.For Anta Group's entrust, the students deeply feel. Zhao Xin said that in the Anta Hope Class for more than a year, the original introverted character has become more cheerful, but also willing to communicate with people, "improve my confidence." Zhou Xiaojing also thinks that she has changed a lot. Now she is willing to express her ideas with teachers and classmates, and she has the courage to accept more new challenges. In order to prevent students from being labeled as struggling students, the students of Anta Hope Class are divided into different classes, but they are managed as an administrative class, which protects children's self-esteem to a certain extent, allows them to make more peers, and is conducive to broadening their vision and developing a sunny personality.
"Bring in" and "come out"
"Anta Hope Class" originated from the most primitive and pure intention -- to help outstanding high school students from poor families to ensure their right to education. But at the same time, the project team also realized that education should not only focus on academic studies, but also focus on the overall development of children. In addition to subsidizing the living and learning expenses, it also helps students "bring in" and "come out" to empower them and improve their comprehensive literacy.
"To introduce" means to invite athletes or scientists and other resources to open a special "hope class". In July this year, a space scientist gave an online space class to students, encouraging them to devote themselves to the national space industry and other scientific fields in the future, arousing many students' interest in scientific research. "I like scientific research and my university goal is the National University of Defense Technology and Technology. Listen to the scientists' explanation, originally thought that the distant and mysterious space technology, there are actually a lot of application knowledge from the physics we are learning, I want to work harder." Talking about the experience of listening to the aerospace class, Zhao Xin recalled.
The so-called "coming out" is to take students out of school and broaden their horizons and enrich their knowledge through specially designed study activities. This study is one of these "coming out" activities. Senior high school students have accumulated certain knowledge, which requires the project team to carefully plan the content of the research, so as to let students feel and learn to the greatest extent. This study arranged students to "enter Anta", let them feel that the road to the growth and development of a successful modern enterprise requires not only perseverance, but also the progress of science and technology.
In the machine roaring shoe factory, we see the hard work of the workers on the assembly line, see the automatic measurement, laser cutting and other sophisticated "wisdom" manufacturing technology, also see to go through dozens of processes to wear to the feet, seemingly simple pair of shoes is actually "very not simple".
The students also visited the Ding ancestral Hall, the Hemu Cultural Center and the Maritime Silk Road Museum to experience the culture of southern Fujian and the Road of Charity Gratitude in Antar, and to experience the cultural atmosphere with local characteristics. Zhou Xiaojing felt that she had experienced different local customs, broadened her horizons, and once again realized the profound and extensive culture of the motherland.
< b> Wu Dajing: Love what you stand for, stick to what you love
On the morning of August 11th, the theme activity of the research camp "Strong Country, Our Youth" was held in Anta 982 Center. Zhang Huawei, deputy secretary-general of China Youth Development Foundation, Li Ling, Vice president of Anta Group, short track speed skating Olympic champion Wu Dajing and other guests attended the event. Zhang Huawei, deputy Secretary-General of China Youth Development Foundation, said in his speech that young people are the future of the country as well as the future of the world. We need to give full play to the fundamental role of education in human, social and economic development. Anta Hope Class public welfare project came into being in this context, to provide better help for young people in their study and life. I hope that the youth of the new era will live up to their dreams.
Li Ling, vice president of Anta Group, encouraged the students: "When young people are strong, China is strong. To be a representative of Chinese youth, no matter what kind of environment you are in, you must have dreams and hope for the future; If sports is strong, China will be strong. We must have the sportsmanship to go beyond ourselves. She hopes that all of her students will be able to enter their dream universities in 2024 and embark on a whole new field of life."
Teachers from two Anta Hope classes also introduced the teaching situation of the Hope class and shared the changes they saw in the children. They believe that Anta hopes the class can enable students to grow, and students not only make significant progress in their academic performance, but also improve their comprehensive ability. The students all expressed that they would study harder to realize their dreams.
In a dialogue session between Li Ling, vice president of Anta Group, and short track speed skating Olympic champion Wu Dajing, Wu shared his growth story and how he faced the difficulties and challenges in life. He said he began to learn short track speed skating at the age of 10 and made it to the national team. Having fallen behind in the national team, he trained harder than anyone, always arriving first and leaving last. He had a certain plan for his athletic performance, and would do research and "train with my head." To be good at summary timely adjustment and correction. As with training, so with learning.
Wu Dajing said to the students, the baton of the new era has been handed to you, the baton is heavy, is the mission, is also the responsibility, each student has to make their own choice. No matter what kind of career in the future, we should work hard, in order to make the society better and the motherland stronger. He concluded by saying, "Love what you stand for, stick to what you love, and eventually you'll get what you want." His classmates were inspired by his sportsmanship, which also made Agee more confident that he could achieve his goals as long as he worked hard and persevered. At the event, Wu Dajing also accepted the invitation to officially become A public welfare partner of Anta Super A. He revealed that he would devote more energy to public welfare undertakings in the future.
The unique value and social significance of "Anta Hope Class"
In the five-day and four-night research camp, we can clearly see the social value and significance delivered by "Anta Hope Class".
First of all, the project forms a targeted and systematic funding system based on the needs, with strong public welfare. At present, China is in the stage of effectively connecting the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. The development of education is still unbalanced and inadequate, and there are many students in difficulties that cannot be remedied by their own efforts. Anta Hope Class provides these children with more equitable opportunities to receive education and more possibilities for their future. To help poor students complete their high school education, let them change their fate through knowledge and usher in a better life, in the long run, is also to save strength for rural revitalization.
Second, the project has formed a public welfare action system with funding as the starting point, which is highly innovative. Whether a public welfare project is innovative depends on the service and model it provides. The dual service mode of "Anta Hope Class" not only supports children to complete their high school studies, but also encourages them to study hard and meet challenges through research and scholarships. The project is not accomplished overnight. From in-depth research to systematic public welfare actions, it has strong growth and innovation.
Third, continuous 3 years of investment brought social value, strong effectiveness. The ultimate goal of a public welfare project is to be effective. At the camp, we can really see the positive impact and change of the project on the children. Some kids say, I hope to help others in the future when I have the ability to do so myself. The project is not a simple input-output ratio that can be calculated. The solutions to social problems it carries are highly referable and scalable. The mature model can be used as a reference for other enterprises and public welfare organizations. The future will also be more solid.
In the evening of August 12, the camp ceremony was held at the seaside. The students ran freely in the face of the sea, feeling boundless, feeling heroic and brave. Feeling: "I am so happy, this study brought me too many first time, the first time to take a plane, the first time to leave the city of my home, the first time to see Wu Dajing, the first time to see the sea, the first time to rock climbing...... It's been a great few days and it's going to be one of my fondest memories!" < /p>The tide is flat on both sides of the broad, the wind is a sail. The "2022 ANTA Hope Class Fujian Study and Strengthen the Nation's Self Youth Activity" has come to an end, and the new academic year is about to begin. Looking at the numerous students returning home with a lot of success, all the participants and supporters of "Anta Hope Class" are looking forward to attending the graduation ceremony two years later, looking forward to the children's dream moment.
