Hope Baden-Baden

Zhou Pan

Zhou Pan studiert Chemie und da er aus Hubei stammt, einer Provinz am Yangze, interessiert er sich besonders für Umweltschutz und Wasserschutz. In seinem Förderungsantrag schildert er seine Lebensumstände.

"I came from the countryside, and when I was only 5 years old, my mother died of a disease. From then on,my father has never married again. Unfortunately,he has a poor health and cannot work to get enough money to support the family.So my only elder sister had to quit school to help. I really appreciate what they have done for me. It`s lucky for me to study here..... As a college student, future is promising. I can`t say I will be the best, but at least I will try very hard to make the best. Thank you! Zhou Pan"

Nachdem er in die Hope-Förderung aufgenommen war, schrieb er uns auf die Frage, wie er seinen Lebensunterhalt verdient: "In the summer holiday I want to work in Shanghai. I can teach the lower grade's students some knowledge. And now I spent 4 hours to teach a student every week. At school I take 9 hours to be a teacher's assistant every week. So I can get enough money for myself. My father and elder sister have not to worry for my life. But I also thank you and your group. Three days ago, I have donated my blood. This was my third time to do it. I think I have got so many things from the society, I must do something to repay. So I did it. In addition, I just want to be a kind man. 2009 May 7 Zhou Pan"

Vor kurzem, im Frühjahr 2012 erhielt ich diesen Brief von ihm:
