Donating Food to Doctors and Nurses During PandemicIn order to appreciate medical workers, on 6/13-6/30,2021, we visited doctors and nurses in Reston Hospital Center. We contacted numerous restaurants to ask for donations to hospitals, collecting food from each restaurant and writing appreciation cards in each take outbox. In the end, we gave the food to the hospital receptionist and visited doctors and nurses.
They worked hard and devoted their love to us, and we devote love in return. Rebecca Meng

Mid-Autumn FestivalIn order to promote Chinese culture at the mid-autumn festival in BASIS Independent McLean, a volunteer activity was organized by the Chinese mandarin class club. Some of our classmates and their parents joined this volunteer, and they creatively designed and made traditional and modern, innovative lanterns with riddles on them. We collected dozens of lanterns, delivered them to our teacher, and hung them in our school. Our teacher held an activity of guessing riddles, and our classmates loved it!
With the help of our volunteers, our school was beautifully decorated, and many students became interested in Chinese culture. We are very proud and excited! |
Winter Coat DriveIn the United States, 1 in 7 Americans is currently living below the poverty threshold. Many families don't have the necessary resources to stay warm this winter.
United Mission for Relief & Development works with C-World Teenager Volunteer to help Afghan refugee families to get warmth in this cold winter. With the help of our volunteers, we collected thousands of pieces of clothing from many communities, including our school. We delivered thousands of clothes to hundreds of Afghan refugees on Dec. 11, 2021, and it was a great success. Many thanks to all who donated or helped deliver clothes. |
