Walking with the Sun - Aidi School's Summer Charity Music Concert

BEIJING - June 4, 2017 - PRLog -- Teachers and students from AIDI International School came to Dandelion Middle School on April 23^rd, 2017, in preparation for their Walking with the Sun benefit concert. Walking with the Sun is a charity concert organized by Aidi International School to help Dandelion Middle School, a school for children of rural migrant workers, develop a music education program. AIDI's volunteer associaion, 1590, was one of the first associations established at AIDI International School. Its goal is to bring together students who are passionate about making a difference in the world and change society for the better.


The event will take place on June 12^th at the Poly Theatre and all proceeds will go towards supporting's Dandelion's music education. As part of this project, AIDI students will build and paint a music classroom as well as host and perform with Dandelion students on the big stage.

Upon entering the dormitories at Dandelion Middle School, AIDI students become only too aware of their own privileges. Boiling in the summer and freezing in the winter, a total of 12 students live in each of these small, gloomy rooms. But despite the poor living conditions, paintings on walls show that children at Dandelion Middle School are still interested in art. As integrating young people in Beijing is so fundamental, members of 1590 have lunch with Dandelion Middle School students. It's amazing to see that many of them have become friends through the Walk in the Sun project.

AIDI International School wants to help children of migrant workers pursue their interests in the arts. This is why 1590 have decided to help Dandelion Middle School build a music room, which they will then decorate with a bright canvas.

"We always tell our students that volunteering is a meaningful activity that is great for the betterment of society. Rather than being demoralized by the harsh living conditions they have seen, AIDI students only become more motivated to help make a change," says Miss Zhang, the AIDI's school society manager. She adds: "The Walk in the Sun benefit concert is open to everyone who shares our values of helping and caring, not just for members of 1590 and AIDI students. We hope to see you there!"

The Walk in the Sun benefit concert will take place on June 12th at the Poly Theatre and all proceeds will go towards supporting Dandelion's music education.
