New Green IT Classroom Empowers Children’s Dreams-Virtuos Xi’an Green IT Classroom Inauguration Ceremony and Volunteering Activity Completed Successfully

The Qinling Mountains loom vast and the Wei River flows wide, in the deep autumn of Xi’an City, the children in Yinzhen Street, Chang'an District welcomed their long-awaited Green IT Classroom, which is fully supported by Virtuos Xi'an Studio and the classroom marks the second one the studio has established in the area. On the day of the inauguration ceremony, over twenty Virtuos volunteers went to the school to bring a rich array of volunteering activities to the children.

On the afternoon of November 12, children were already seated neatly in the playground, eagerly awaiting the arrival of distinguished guests and volunteers from Virtuos Xi'an Studio for the inauguration ceremony. Representatives from the Chang'an District Eastern Education Zone, Yinzhen Street, and the Shaanxi Women and Children Development Foundation also came to participate the ceremony. Principal He, representing the school, was the first to speak. He highlighted the lack of educational resources in the school, and expressed that the children had been looking forward to having a computer classroom for a long time. He extended his gratitude to Virtuos Xi'an Studio for its strong support, which made the children's dream a reality. Following Principal He, Mr. Ming Shenliang, General Manager of Virtuos Xi'an Studio, delivered a speech, emphasizing Virtuos' firm commitment to corporate social responsibility and strong support for school’s informatization education. As the lead organizer of the event, the representative from Netspring reviewed the long-term cooperation history with Virtuos in her speech, and wished the children to use computers to learn greater skills. Principal He and Mr. Ming then handed over the nameplate of the classroom, officially heralding the opening of the Green IT Classroom. In order to express their welcome to the guests, the children also performed a poem recitation titled 'Chinese Youth Declaration', and the playground was filled with the resounding and powerful young voices.

After the ceremony, the volunteers split into two groups to conduct an IT class and a creative environmental handicraft class with the students respectively. Following the volunteering activities, the school children enthusiastically surrounded the volunteers, raising kinds of questions and sharing details about their study. The volunteers from Virtuos Xi’an Studio also established an emotional connection with the children in a short period of time, and they promised the children that they would have a series of plans to return to school in the future, helping the children learn computer knowledge and organizing a variety of activities. Finally, the children waved goodbye to the volunteers reluctantly and looked forward to their next visit.
