On 11th and 12th of December, 2021, 10 volunteers from the graduate General Youth Branch of the International Business School of Beijing Foreign Studies University held the fourth small class on “Safety Education” organized by the “Rong Ai Rong Le” Family Support Center for the Mental Disabilities (briefly called “Rong Ai Rong Le”) in Haidian District.

“Rong Ai Rong Le” Center invited young volunteers from the graduate General Youth Branch of IBS to accompany the mentally handicapped (hereinafter referred to as “heart youth”) children to participate in weekly online safety education courses held every Thursday. The main goal of the class was to review safety instructions and afterwards the participants were asked to complete a homework task.

Through the class model of “co-learning + regular review”, “heart youths” were able to effectively learn and consolidate various safety knowledge. At the same time, accompanied by volunteers, mentally handicapped children also opened their hearts through interactive communications, improving their speaking and expressive skills in order to better integrate into social life.

In this voluntary activity, the graduate students of IBS communicated with the young people with a warm and cordial attitude, and practiced the responsibility of young volunteers in the new era with an enthusiastic, sincere, and positive spirit. “With the warmth and give out a share of the light”, all volunteers contributed their own strength to help special groups through concrete actions.
