Kids dream big 👩‍🚀

Make a kid's dream come true 👶🏽

Volunteering with children is a wonderful way to make the world a better place. It starts beautiful cycle into momentum. You help a child, and the child grows up learning the importance of helping other people. Then the child grows up, and it all comes full circle.

As you grow older, you realize what caring adults did for you.

As a child, you probably remember imagining about what you want to be when you grow up. As you grow a little older, you start to realize the amazing things adults did for you when you were a child: your parents, family members, neighbors, teachers, mentors, and a few good samaritans along the way.

Stable family finances, loving family members, a good education, and the opportunity to pursue happiness — these are the fortunate circumstances that we too often take for granted.

Not every child starts life equal opportunities.

The fact is not every child starts off life with the same opportunities as the rest of us. Some children come from difficult family circumstances — even abandoned by their parents at an early age. Some children don’t grow to double digits in age before being diagnosed with life-threatening disease. Some children are born with physical and mental disabilities that create life-long obstacles.

These kids don’t quit.

But these kids don’t give up. And that’s why we shouldn’t give up on them either.

Check out all the amazing volunteer opportunities that Beijing has to offer — working with children, creating smiles, and making dreams come true. I bet you’ll find spending more time around children can even replenish your own childlike spirit, and make you happier too.
