Feng Xia Middle School#

Feng Xia Middle School in Qing Yuan city was established by Madam Chen Feng Xia in 1999. It aimed to help the poor but capable children in the villages in underdeveloped Qingxin County to get proper education so that they can become independent. About one-third of students were recruited from the city center, one-third from the vicinity of school and one-third from the towns and villages in Qingxin County. Tuition fee for students from poor families were either reduced or exempted. It was either subsidized by school fees collected from richer students or supported by school donars. Island School teachers and students had visited the school since 2001 until it changes its direction of education in 2017.

Until 2017, every time when Island School teachers and students stayed in the dormitory of Fengxia Middle School, we donated some money to help sponsor the needy students there. From summer 2008 to 2018, we sponsored 43 graduates of the school to go to universities. Students received sponsorship to pay for the school fees, living expenses, charges for extra-curricular activities and computing equipment.
