z>G;(F2 Z'Q*L?E8M i}B;+0<drx To be somebody, to do something. Become who you want to be. Do what you want to do. This is all that I wan to say to you. Don't let your life pass by without a trace in the river of time. Then, when you are old and gray, when you sit by the warm fire, you will have something worth remembering, something that make you feel warm, something that you will tell your grandchildren, something for which they will be proud of you.

EWA;L?g|A Today, in many places in China, there are a large number of children who dream about the world. They long to learn more, to touch, to build connection with the outside world. In remote areas such as SiChuan, Tibet, YunNan， GanSu, to go to school is still merely a distant, luxury dream for little children just like you and me used to be. They long to have a pencil, a book, even a piece of paper. The fact is, they need our attention and love.
%(`#A.yaE zie=2 Our Free Sky is a nonprofit volunteer organization formed on a voluntary basis, initiated by a group of OFS volunteers from all over the country such as TuXue. The organization uses
www.ourfreesky.org as a platform for activities of commonweal, student financial aid, one-to-one help, and for communications between volunteers. Currently we have the following programs:
~ ].ggcl`w rnO0-h-; 1, Centers of Book Donation for Love
D {cZxI The Centers of Book Donation for love are built mainly to help primary school and middle school students in depressed western mountainous areas such as in YunNan, SiChuan, ShanXi, GanSu, or motivated children with financial difficulty, disabled children, convicts, recoverer in drug rehabilitation centers from the nation. We will collect books from local community donations, and donate them to focal schools in western depressed regions, or community and individuals in need in a planned, organized fashion. Our Free Sky has established book donation centers in nine provinces, including BeiJing , ShangHai, AnHui, GuangDong , YunNan, SiChuan, ShanXi, GanSu. The western schools have received more than 1000 books up to today. The main responsibilities of the book donation group include: to contact the persons in charge of the book donation centers in different local areas, to register and organize collected books, to announce the time and place for each donation event, and to make public the whereabouts of donated books and the detailed list in time after each event.

yxwW j>c The main purpose of the volunteer teaching is to alleviate the shortage of teachers in western areas, to assist local compulsory education and associated studies, and to boost the development of local education cause in provinces such as YunNan, GuiZhou, SiChuan, GanSu, ShanXi. In the Spring of 2007, more than 10 OFS volunteers will head for ShangJiang village, XiangGeLiLa county, YunNan province to carry on volunteer teaching for half a year to one year.

03([@d6<E The purpose of One-To-One Help is to build connection between student in financial need for tuitions and fees and volunteer helper. The main responsibilities of the One-To-One Help group include: to provide detailed information about the student in need obtained through personal investigation of OFS volunteers (basic family financial condition, academic records etc.), to pair helper with student, to make public detailed list on a regular basis. Up to today, about 30 primary and middle school students in YunNan, SiChuan have received financial aids through Our Free Sky and continued their education otherwise in jeopardy. We hope all individual or group volunteer helpers, once choosing a long term receiver (school or individual), would provide continuous spiritual as well as financial support (we think the former is just as important or even more so). For instance, regular mail communication could be established. The two parties could hold hands and grow together.
