Project volunteers

在惠黎基金会2000年北京“乡村社区助学研讨会”上，有几位代表不停地记笔记，并频频就惠黎助学项目及社区议事会的职能，运作方式和财务运作模式提问、发表意见。他们就是河北省兴隆县八卦岭初级综合中学的志愿者张明云老师、张文东老师、苗春光老师、万喜先生。

张明云老师是八卦岭初级综合中学校长。这位大山的儿子，为了全校1,100名学童，呕心沥血。他在抓教学的同时，积极与惠黎基金会合作，实施可持续助学项目，为贫困学童创建绿色银行。

张文东老师，惠黎可持续助学项目负责人。毕业于河北农业大学，在惠黎可持续助学项目实施过程中，他发挥专业特长，带领农业科技小组的组员们，昼夜辛勤劳作在大棚里。他培育的优质果树树苗在当地受到极大欢迎，农民们争相购买，所创收益为学校的可持续助学金提供了可靠的来源。

苗春光老师，作为社区议事会负责人，本着对捐赠者、受援学童及其家长认真负责的态度，积极配合基金会工作、协调学校和家长的关系，组织各种资源，支持助学活动，使社区议事会在执行可持续助学项目中起到了积极的推动与监督作用。

万喜先生，当地的知名企业家。他致富不忘教育，曾多次为学校捐款捐物。惠黎可持续助学项目在八卦岭初级综合中学实施后，他热心支持这一项目，志愿担当社区议事会主席，主动代表学生家长参与项目监督和管理，为学校公开、民主地发放助学金尽自己最大的努力。

还有一位不在会场的志愿者高士华先生，他是兴隆教育局干部。从项目论证至今，他坚持每月往返60公里的山路去八卦岭初级综合中学，为项目的良性发展，为特困学童的救助，做出了自己的贡献。

作为一个年轻而有活力的集体，兴隆的志愿者为学校的项目注入了他们的全部心血和精力。由于他们的努力，在短短的一年时间里项目就取得了很大的成功。惠黎愿与他们一起为大山的未来做出贡献。
