Education support project for remote Tibetan villages
A trip to a village, then started a long time commitment on youth education
This family charity project has been ongoing since 2017 to support children in Muli County, a Sichuan-Tibet border area of China. The program helps high school and college-level students receive an education. Although China has fully implemented a 9-year mandatory education system, from high school to university, education is critical from the perspective of employment needs and children's self-development, especially for girls, who are future mothers. Students who have completed 9 years of education are eligible to attend high school, but need financial support.
I visited the village with my parents and my sister. There, we witnessed the current situation in the vernacular areas in need of development and deeply felt the importance and necessity of educating children.
Five years ago, I began creating photo calendars to encourage more people to join this mission. What makes my approach different is the deep, personal commitment: I grow alongside every child I support. They, in turn, have opened my eyes to other lives and perspectives I would never have seen. Chashi, the student we sponsored for five years, has already graduated and started his career in Xinjiang. Bianma, a college student, was committed to returning to the mountain area after graduation to improve her hometown.
I learned so much from this project –it is not just a charity, but about the true meaning of education, human connection, and the way we illuminate each other’s paths.

Human-wildlife conflict in Africa
Dare to Dedicate: Empower youth to change and be changed, hand in hand with the world.
This is a research project in Kenya about human–wildlife conflict. The human-wildlife conflict is a serious issue in the local community. I interviewed a few villagers about their personal experiences and collected many stories. We also visited non-governmental organisations that work on animal protection. We met a community worker, a museum guide, an Ol Pejeta Conservancy officer, an anti-poaching department, a Giraffe Conservation Centre guide, Save the Elephants, African Network for Animal Welfare, Ofir Drori, Raabia Hawa…
Our work is highly recognised and appreciated by the ambassador. In the last few days, we compiled all the information and wrote an article about this unique experience to raise funds. We raised a total of 5,220 RMB, and all the money was used to purchase about 120 lion lights —a little lamp to hang on the fence and glimpse during the night. These lamps can help prevent livestock from being eaten by predators.

Photo Calendar for Charity
Inspired by the nature, celebration to the nature
We chose the images to present the vibrant diversity of wildlife and celebrate their freedom and beauty. The images highlight animals’ habitats and their need for healthy environments, and reflect on the proximity between human activity and wildlife on our shared planet. Aim to inspire appreciation and responsibility for conserving the natural world. The calendar section presents major holidays from both Eastern and Western traditions, including China’s 24 solar terms, showing the relationship between daily life and natural rhythms. It also highlights anniversaries related to nature and cultural heritage conservation.
