Latest news from Hong in Sichuan

Liu Fang is now a first year student at Bayi Middle School. She lives with her grandmother and a cousin in a simple converted farmhouse near the school. It does not have hot water nor television. Her father works in Mianzhu and comes back once a week to vist. Her grandfather and little brother still live in their old home in Nanbu County. Liu Fang’s grandmother is her main caretaker. Her cousin is in her class so she helps her at school. Liu Fang looked like she lost some weight. But she was in good spirits when I spoke to her, giggling at times. She did well in her last midterm exam. The teacher praised her, giving her more confidence at school. I’ve spent RMB$2000 from our 512 Chengdu funding account to assist Liu Fang’s family.

刘芳现已在东汽八一中学读初一，她和奶奶、表妹租住在中学附近的一间简易农房里，没有热水和电视，爸爸在绵竹打工每周回来一次，爷爷和弟弟还是在南部县老家，刘芳的起居生活主要由奶奶照顾，表妹和她同班，主要照料她在学校的生活事务。刘芳看起来清瘦了一些，但精神不错，也能很自然地和我交谈，不时地笑出声来。上次半期考试她还考得不错，老师也表扬了她，她对以后的学习更有信心。这次我从“512援助会”成都善款中支出捐付了2000元现金给刘芳，作为她的日常生活医疗补贴。
