They began busily preparing for the establishment of the fund, inviting professional legal and financial personnel to formulate rigorous fund articles of association and management systems to ensure that the source and use of every penny of funds were clear, transparent, reasonable and compliant.

To raise funds, they hosted a grand charity gala. The venue was decorated warmly and elegantly, and celebrities, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists from all walks of life were invited to attend. Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Su Yao shared their experiences in impoverished areas, and the stories of the children deeply moved everyone present.

An auction was also held during the dinner, where valuable calligraphy, paintings, and artworks donated by philanthropists were displayed and auctioned off. The atmosphere was lively and enthusiastic as everyone raised their paddles to bid. Simultaneously, they launched an online fundraising channel, widely promoting the charity foundation's projects and significance through social media and public welfare platforms, calling on more people to participate.

After learning about the plight of children in impoverished areas, many ordinary people extended a helping hand, even if it was just a few yuan—it was a heartfelt act of kindness. Through everyone's joint efforts, the charity foundation quickly raised a considerable amount of money, laying a solid foundation for subsequent charitable projects.

Chapter Five: Leveraging Influence to Gather the Power of Love

Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Su Yao all have considerable influence in their respective fields. They know they can use this influence to call on more people to pay attention to education in impoverished areas and to bring together more love and care.

Ah Yu used her connections and resources in the advertising and marketing industry to create a series of deeply moving public service advertisements, which were broadcast on major television stations and online platforms. The advertisements showcased the harsh learning environments of children in impoverished areas and their thirst for knowledge, accompanied by warm and powerful narration, touching the hearts of countless viewers. After watching the advertisements, many people took the initiative to learn about the charity foundation and joined the ranks of donors.

Zhong Hua incorporated elements of children from impoverished areas into her artwork, holding an exhibition themed "Light of Hope." Each painting seemed to tell the story of those children, attracting many art lovers and members of the public. She also set up a donation point at the exhibition, where many people donated while appreciating the art.

Leveraging her influence in the business world, Su Yao actively communicates and collaborates with various enterprises, advocating for their participation in public welfare projects and fulfilling their social responsibilities. Many companies have responded to the call, some directly donating money and goods, while others have established long-term partnerships with charitable foundations, regularly conducting donation activities to provide ongoing assistance to schools in impoverished areas.

Inspired by them, more and more people have begun to pay attention to education in impoverished areas. Their love, like a gentle stream, has converged into a powerful force, continuously driving public welfare projects forward.

Chapter Six: Project Progress, Difficulties, and Perseverance

However, the road to charity is not always smooth, and many difficulties have been encountered in the process of promoting public welfare projects.

With the increase in donated supplies, the transportation and management of these supplies has become a major problem. In some remote areas, transportation is inconvenient and the roads are rugged, often causing transport vehicles to break down and preventing timely delivery of supplies. Furthermore, the storage of supplies requires suitable locations and dedicated personnel; otherwise, damage or loss is very likely.

Faced with these challenges, Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, and Su Yao did not back down. They organized a volunteer team specifically responsible for the transportation and management of supplies. The volunteers worked tirelessly, repeatedly embarking on arduous transport journeys. When vehicles broke down, they worked together to find solutions; if all else failed, they contacted local rescue forces. Regarding storage, they actively sought suitable warehouses, installed moisture-proof and fire-proof facilities, and established strict entry and exit management systems to ensure the safety of the supplies.

At the same time, they also face some questions regarding the use of funds. Some worry that the charitable foundation might use the money for undesirable purposes, and have raised higher demands for transparency. To dispel these concerns, they regularly publish the foundation's financial statements, detailing the income and expenditure of every fund, and accepting supervision from all sectors of society. They also invite professional auditing firms to audit the foundation to ensure that all funds are used to improve the educational environment in impoverished areas.

Despite the numerous difficulties, they firmly believe that as long as they have love in their hearts and persevere, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and let the light of public welfare illuminate the path of education for children in impoverished areas.

Chapter Seven: Improvements in the Educational Environment: Initial Success

Thanks to the joint efforts of Ah Yu, Zhong Hua, Su Yao, and many other kind-hearted people, the educational environment in impoverished areas has gradually improved significantly.

The once dilapidated classrooms have been completely transformed, with brand-new desks and chairs, bright lights, and wallpapers adorning the walls with educational and engaging themes. The school library is filled with all sorts of books, allowing children to immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge during their free time. School supplies are no longer scarce; every child can use brand-new stationery to write down their dreams.

The availability of teaching equipment has brought about a tremendous change in teaching methods. Teachers can use projectors, computers, and other equipment to create vivid and interesting courseware, making the classroom more engaging and enriching, and greatly increasing children's enthusiasm for learning. Experimental classes, music classes, and other subjects that were previously impossible to conduct due to a lack of equipment can now be carried out normally, and children are experiencing unprecedented enjoyment in learning.

Moreover, with the improvement of the educational environment, more and more excellent teachers are willing to come to these impoverished areas to teach, bringing advanced teaching concepts and methods, which further improves the quality of teaching. The children's academic performance has also improved significantly, and they have begun to stand out in various competitions and exams, giving people hope that knowledge can change their destiny.
