Huang Yicheng, a student who took part in the Silk Road Programme this summer, shared his feelings. He said: "What impressed me most was that the changes of the students themselves. During the programme we had to climb mountains and hike long distance. We had been weak and dependant on our family, but after this programme, we learned to help each other and become strongly in body and in mind."
Mr. Lexus Liu, director of MPRO, also commended the students for their devotion in producing these photos. "It was the students' devotion that made it possible for this photo exhibition to be held."
The audience also enjoyed a documentary on the Silk Road programme and a electronic photo album produced by MPRO. Many audiences found the exhibition interesting. Brendan, the well-known violist English teacher from ELC was interested in the Qinghai Procapra Przewalskii Protection Programme. He said in Africa, there were many similar deer, and the local government was also making an effort to protect them.
The exhibition will last until Oct 22, and the voting is still on-going. Welcome to have a look at the photos and vote for your favorite programme!
