2026/8/4, Raise Foundation returned to the summer camp to receive a generous RMB 2,000 donation from the Beijing Youth Drama and Film Association (北京青少年戏剧影视协会). Every yuan will go directly toward purchasing medications for children with leukemia, helping provide the care they need. While visiting, we also spent some time with the children by organizing a few short interactive activities and catching up with them. Although it wasn’t a full English program like our previous visit, we were grateful for another opportunity to spend time together and share a few joyful moments. We would like to sincerely thank the Beijing Youth Drama and Film Association for supporting our mission and believing in the work of Raise Foundation. Their generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of children battling leukemia. Finally, a special thank you to our volunteers from Beijing No. 4 High School, especially Mason, for all of your help and dedication. Your support played an important role in making this visit possible, and we truly appreciate everything you did.
On July 24, 2026, Raise Foundation was invited to participate in a summer camp program in Beijing, where our volunteers organized an interactive English-learning session for children. Using The Lion and the Mouse as the central story, we read the book together, discussed its themes and moral lessons, and led a variety of interactive games that encouraged participation, teamwork, and confidence. The children were highly engaged, cooperative, and enthusiastic throughout the activities, making the program both enjoyable and meaningful. The event also provided an opportunity to introduce the mission of Raise Foundation and share how we support children with leukemia through our Happy School initiative. By interacting directly with the children, families, and organizers, we were able to raise awareness of our foundation and the work we are doing to create positive change. We are also sincerely grateful to all of the volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to preparing and leading the activities. Their enthusiasm, patience, and commitment made the program a success and created a memorable experience for every child who participated. In addition, the summer camp organizers generously donated to Raise Foundation. These funds will be used to support children with leukemia through our Happy School initiative, allowing us to continue providing meaningful assistance to those who need it most. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the summer camp organizers for inviting us and supporting our mission. Their generosity and partnership have enabled us to reach more children, spread awareness of our cause, and make an even greater impact in our community.
On June 20, 2026, RAISE Foundation held a charity event in celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival. Throughout the day, we had the opportunity to meet members of our community, share our mission, and raise awareness about supporting children battling leukemia. The event was a meaningful experience that allowed us to connect with others and continue working toward our goal of creating a positive impact. We are grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth, learned about our cause, and showed their support. Every conversation and act of encouragement motivates us to continue our efforts. During our Dragon Boat Festival charity event, RAISE Foundation raised a total of 120 RMB. Although this amount was lower than what we raised at our previous event, the shopping mall was less crowded than expected, resulting in fewer opportunities to reach visitors and potential donors throughout the day. To maximize the impact of every contribution, we have decided to combine the funds raised from this event with the funds from our future charity events. Once additional funds have been raised, we will make a larger donation together to better support children battling leukemia. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who donated and supported our cause. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us move one step closer to making a difference. RAISE Foundation would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the seven volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to support our Dragon Boat Festival Charity Event. Special thanks to: Udval Robert Yaro Bob Alex (as photographer) Abby Ryah Chinguun Your enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to serve made this event possible. Whether it was helping with setup, engaging with visitors, or supporting the event throughout the day, your contributions played an important role in the success of the event. Thank you for being part of our journey

During the May holiday, we successfully held our third camp at Happy School, a school that supports children diagnosed with leukemia. This camp was another meaningful opportunity for us to connect with the students and create a positive and engaging environment. Throughout the camp, we organized a variety of interactive activities, including English learning sessions, games, and hands-on group activities designed to encourage participation, creativity, and confidence.

Their dedication, enthusiasm, and care played an important role in making this camp a success. We look forward to continuing our work with Happy School and creating even more impactful experiences in the future.
As part of the camp, our children took part in a special drawing activity where each child chose a volunteer to draw. It was a fun and meaningful way for them to express their creativity while building a closer connection with the volunteers. Through this simple activity, the children were able to share how they saw and appreciated the people around them. Each drawing reflected their unique perspective, filled with imagination, personality, and warmth. The moment of exchanging the drawings brought genuine smiles and laughter, creating a memorable experience for both the children and the volunteers.
