On 8th August, Sanny from CTC joined with representatives of CPAZ and Internchina on a trip to meet some of the students from Pingsha elementary school in Doumen district, one of the recipients of the funds raised through the Come Together Charity Music Festival 2015.
8月8号早上来自CTC的Sanny、爱心会和InternChina的代表一起去拜访了斗门平沙实验小学在2015年“一起来”捐赠过的一些学生。
At the first family we visited, the Wus, we were able to meet the second grader Wu; when he was just two years old his father passed away, and he is now living with his grandparents. However, his grandfather experiences severe rheumatoid arthritis, and as a family of three, they are forced to survive on a single pension.
第一个拜访的家庭是吴家。吴同学是小学二年级学生，他父亲在他只有两岁时便去世了，现在他由爷爷奶奶抚养。但是爷爷有眼罩的风湿性关节炎，一家三口现在只靠一个人的养老金生活。
Next, we visited the Li family. The Li sisters, an 11-year-old sixth grader and her 13-year-old sister, live with their mother who earns an unstable and lowly income of 1000 RMB per month, working in a factory.
第二个拜访的是李家。李家两姐妹，姐姐13岁、妹妹11岁读小学6年级。全家人靠母亲在工厂打工所得生活，母亲收入并不稳定且仅1000元/月。
The Deng family was the third family we visited. This 10-year-old girl’s parents separated when she was very young, and her father can only take on casual part-time work due to chronic health problems.
第三个拜访的是邓家。邓同学是10岁大的小姑娘，在她很小的时候父母就离婚了。父亲由于长期身体不好，只能靠打零工生活。
Although during Deng’s earliest years her grandfather worked to support them, following his unfortunate death, Deng and her father must now rely on Deng’s elderly grandmother’s labours, who casually fishes the local ponds, to survive.
之前邓家都是靠爷爷工作养家。但是很不幸的是，爷爷不久前去世了。爷爷去世后，一家人的生活全靠年迈的奶奶偶尔到当地鱼塘打鱼支撑。
Come Together has been sponsoring underprivileged children around Zhuhai through CPAZ for four years, and the 2015 donations to underprivileged students and orphans in Pingsha reached an incredible RMB 90,750. China has one of the largest gaps of inequality in education between urban and rural areas, and for this reason Come Together is committed to narrowing this gap by supporting low income families and disadvantaged children. We have in fact funded 138 students – with their school travel, bus to and from home and lunch fees at RMB 550 each, accumulating to RMB 75,900!
2015年给珠海斗门平沙的贫困学生和孤儿捐赠的善款一共为RMB 90,750。一起来慈善音乐会一直都有通过爱心会资助珠海贫困儿童。由于中国城乡教育质量差异巨大，我们希望通过资助低收入家庭和贫困儿童，让其充分发挥自身潜能，缩小这一差距。我们共资助了138名学生，为每位学生提供550元的交通和午餐补助，共计RMB 75,900。
Come Together has also sponsored 99 students with love packs, consisting of a backpack, globe, notepads, stationary, and more to take home and use at school. Each students love pack was RMB 150, accumulating to RMB 14,850!
